Pekin, Dec. 2l.-Premier Yuan Shi
Kai gave his answer to those who are
aiming to transform China into a re-
public. In an official statement is
sued today he declared without quail
ification that he refused to accept a
republic
AT the Shanghai peace conference
yesterday WI Ting Fang, foreign min
lister in the revolutionary provisional
cabinet, spoke strongly in favor of a
republic and later Tang Shao vi said
he was convinced that the abdication
OF the emperor and the establishment
of a republic was the only thing that
would satisfy the people. At the same
time he expressed doubt whether 1t
would be possible to persuade Yuan
Shi kai to abandon his plan for a
limited monarchy,
1t is believed here that Yuan Shi
Kai means what he says and Will up
hold the monarchy. A new situation
has arisen. Great Britain which has
been supporting the premier's mon
archial program for several weeks, is
now strengthened by Japan and is
endeavoring TO obtain the support OF
the United States and other countries.
Great Britain believes the separation
of the dependencies, Manchuria, Mon
goia and Thibet, and the serious dis
integration of China proper, would
result from the establishment of a
republic. whereas the republicans al
ready have obtained in material
way' everything they desired. Only the
name of the monarchy is left.
American
group, If not the American state de-
partment, already supports the Brit
sh idea and are ready with two If not
three Of the others of the -four ma
tion group" of flnanciers, to lend
Yuan Shi Kai's government money.
Negotiations TO this end have been
proceeding for some days.
1t was on Great Britains initiative
that the six powers urged the Shang-
hal peace conference to report on an
agreement. Now Great Britain is en-
deavoring to pursuade the rebels TO
come to terms.
1t is pointed out that British in
reference is not directed against
China's interests but against the
sentimental idea in such cases where
the practical interests of the entire
nation are being jeopardized.
The continuation of the armistice
for ten days to which the revolution
lists have agreed, has given some
hope, but unless the revolutionaries
accept Premier Yuans offer, the only
alternative Is continuation of the
conflict with possible division of the
country, the dependencies rallyinS
around the northern empire.
The premier has sent three thou
sand troops OF the Twentieth division
to Chin Wang Tao on the coast oil
Pechili with the object of prevent
ing republican troops from assemhl-
ing in the north. Precautions are also
being taken below Tien Tsin.
