DR. WANG RESIGNS
END FOR BRILLIANT CAREER
(Received this day at 9,25 a.ml SHANGHAI, September 30
The resignation of Doctor Wang, the Nationalist Foreign Minister, who was attacked on Monday by students, was tendered to President C’lrinng Kai Shek and accepted in the morning on the advice of Wang’s physician. Doctor Alfred Sze, Minister to Brit-, ain, now at Geneva, succeeds Wang who is reported to be badly affected by his injuries. Wang’s exit from Chinese political affairs terminates four years of the most brilliant diplomacy. China is thus deprived of one of the ablest leaders while facing one of the greatest crisis, in consequence of the insensate behaviour of university fledglings.
