We Believe in Indianapolis Structural Steel The importance of Indianapolis as a distributing center for iron and steel products is emphasized by the fact that of the seventy-five thousand tons of such products sold by Indianapolis concerns each year, twenty thousand tons are in the shape of structural steel com pletely fabricated in this city. Five great industrial plants are required to secure this production, which has an annual value of nearly three mil - lion dollars. Indianapolis-made structural steel is used all over the United States to build factories, office buildings, apartments and bridges.

BELIEVE NEW CABINET WILL HELP CHINESE Three Warring Factions Unite to Support Nation’s Cause. WANG CHOICE PLEASES Special to Indiana Dally Times ami Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON. Dee. 2N. Tli - cause of lie* Chiiie.se tU tin*" Washington confer <*nce has been materially s! reugt ’.mnod bv tie* now cabinet formed by Liang Shi Yi, i according to Chinese authorities here. In addition to uniting three diverging faetlons in China, they believe the new cabinet will lead the way to the reeoncilinlion of Sun Yat Ken in Canton. The new cabinet, they believe, will give strength to the Chinese cause by bring ing the divergent political factions of that country into a government which will demand support nationally as well os internationally. It is dominated b.v ticChiaotung clique, whose inlluence in the economic development is paramount, owing to its control over communications, including the railroads. It has representatives of both militnristle factions. It proposes to bring into service men who are regarded ns the ablest Jurists and educators of China. WANG ( HOICK IS PL'KASINO.

no statement forthcoming from Dr. Wang ns to whether he would accept the position in the new cabinet. His associates, however, said he had received the report of his selection for the cabinet nnd had if under consideration. Besides being a delegate to the conference, he is I chief justice of the supreme court of j China and a member of the international | court at Geneva, on which John Bassett I Moore represents the Fnited States. Ills i selection is expected by authorities to |or •mote international confidence in j China, owing to his world-wide reputa- : lion as a jurist. Mr. Liang, .recording to Chinese here. ! invites the cooperation or! Sun Yat Sen I in being a Cantonese himself, although not allied with the South China movement. He is a banker and has influence ! in the Chinese consortium, which offered | to buy outright from Japan the Shanj tung Railroad. As head of tlie Chiao j Tung, or communications .group, he is i regarded as the dominant factor in the ! economic life of China. Tlis control of j ihe government, along with the cabinet j he selected, they said, will inspire the ! confidence of the business men of China i and the world. YEN TO REMAIN S FOREIGN MINISTER, j Mr. Yen continues as foreign minister. : Chinese here said there will 1 * no change !in the foreign politics of China The ’ formation of anew cabinet will not alter China's course at the conference, they ' confidently predicted. T,t Ting Hein, who was chosen as minister of the navy, according to Chinese here, is satisfactory to all elements, as he was a member of the last cabinet and is independent politically. I’ao Ivuei Chun, minister ojf war, is acceptable to the militarist factions, they said, and is characterized as a mild militarist of the older type.

While some of the Chinese here do not regard Mr. Kao as a popular man in China, they recognize i him as an individual of no mean ability. He was minister of finance in the iast cabinet. HCANG HEADS PEKIN VNIVERSITY. The selection of Huang Yen I’ei as minister of education was said to be a popular one. He is president of Pekin University, the largest university in China and regarded as the government's school. The three “key positions” in the cabinet. it was pointed out, go to the dominating faction, the communication clique. 1 The first of these is naturally tlie pre--1 mlership, while the other two are the offices of minister of finance, for which Air. i.iang selected Chang Ilui and of minister of communication, for which Yell Kung Cho was named. Air. Chang S previously has held the position of ininI ister of finance. | It is this group, or clique, Chinese said, who exercise the greatest influence lon tlie railroads of China, upon whose i operation the welfare of tlie country depends so much. They look for advantageous development along that line, particularly in view of their belief that the new premier will inspire the confidence of American financiers, ns well as tlie Chinese bankers. - -Copyright. 1921, by Publer Ledger Company.
