Nanking move troubles China with capital shift plan
A December dispatch from Chungking reports China plans to move the capital back to Nanking by March or April while Chungking remains the seat of government. The executive Yuan will meet in Nanking by December 15 and Premier Soong with about 1500 workers will move soon, but officials say Chungking will stay until early spring. Diplomats eye Nanking housing costs, while foreign offices complain of limited comfort and support amid Japanese occupation since 1937. The winter cold and scarce coal intensify the strain on officials and correspondents unsure where to base their reporting.
