"Observers see in the appointment of T.V. Soong as Governor of Vunnenng Provele
an effort towards agricultural rehabilitation and development in that area to
serve as a model for all of China and to renew faith in the investment of
foreign and overneas Chinese capital. The appointment of Dr. Soong is also
taken as indication by many observers of the commencement of a /decentralization!
trend of provincial administration along DS state lines. If such is the case,
It is the most Important political move yet ,seen and, judging by past history,
the only one likely to produce anything like efficient government out of the
Imes which represents government in Chins today."
