Released by the Nationalist Information Bureau in Manhattan, last week, was the striking information that seven out of the ten members of the new Nationalist Cabinet are Christians. These include the 75th descendant of Confucius in direct line, H. H. Kung, Minister of Colonies; and the great Marshal Feng Yu-hsiang, one of China's so-called "Big Three."
Non-Christian members of the Cabinet and "Big Three" are President of China Chiang Kaishek, and Marshal Yen Hsi-shan (TIME, Dec. 24).
Additional Christian Cabinet Ministers are: C. T. Wang (Foreign Affairs), T. V. Soong (Finance), Chung Hui (Justice) and Sun Fo (Railways) son of the late founder of the Nationalist Party great Dr. Sun Yatsen.
