people of the world, while it is encour-
aging the patriots at home who are
trying to wrest liberty from the Man
chu usurpers. A recent statement
from the propaganda department is in
teresting in that it gives the side of
the revolutionists.' The statement
which has just been received in Wash
ington, is as follows:
Friends of DR.. Sun Vat Sen, the Chi
nese revolutionary leader, believe that
statement of the actual conditions is
due the public. Conflicting reports are
being sent out from China with some

this statement is made
DR.. Sun has been selected by the
leaders of the revolutionary party to
become the first president of the de-
facto government. Shanghai has been
selected as the capital and the defacto
government intends to await DIR. Sun Is
arrival before making known it's
propaganda.
During the visit of DIR. Sun in New
York, London and Paris, he assured
the gentlemen whom he met in con-
ference, that upon assuming the official
post to which he had been honored
that his very first act would be to
create peace through the country and
to protect all foreigners and their
property rights. That it can be af-
frmed with certainty that the interest
on all loans will be duly met and pune
tually paid but until normal conditions
are sesumed there may be a short de-
lay in getting the new government s
machinery in smooth running order.
Foreign obligations contracted for by
the old government will receive full
and complete protection by the new
government. Where there has been
any delay caused by the existing con
ditions full and satisfactory settle
ments will be affected so none will
suffer and all will soon understand
that China is opened to the CONNER
cial world. Railroad construction in all
parts of China will serve as the great
est educator to her millions of people
and will be the first great undertak-
ing. DR.. Sun looks to the people of
England, America, France, Russia,
Italy, Germany, Austria, Japan, Bel
gium and other counties to undertake
commercial enterprises in his country
and he states most emphatically that
good citizens of those countries will
be most welcome to engage in enter
prises and assist in building up the ma
ton
DIR. Sun is most highly respected by
those who know him in America and
England. He is a gentleman of ex-
traordinary learning, a diplomat and
statesman. He is universally loved
and respected by his people and has
the entire confidence of the whole of
the Chinese people. 1t is well known
fact that 400,000,000 Chinese people
rae willing to follow his recommenda-
tions and that as soon as he assumes
office he can procure peace throughout
China within a few months. The
Manchu dynasty will, from necessity,
be removed to a secluded territory
where they can enjoy a quiet and
peaceful life and they will enjoy pro-
lection and the good will of the new
government In due time the selec-
tion by the people of a new president
will be brought about and an energetic
and proper form of government estab-
lished.
The coming new year means the ac-
tual dawn in China of an upbuilding
and prosperity heretofore unknown.
DIR. Sun fully appreciates the grave
responsibility he assumes to his own
people and to all foreigners as we'll
and of the obligations of China. He
only asks that a reasonable time be
allowed so that those who are now in
power of the IA provinces and who
are the actual representatives of the
people and understand and know
their necessities and how to best gov
ern the vast population to be permit
ted to establish their government and
put it in operation without interfer-
ence of outsiders or of the actual ad-
verse criticism. Time is necessity
for a peaceful solution of the pacifica-
tion of the land and the party now in
actual power of the defacto govern
ment are men of sterling character
and great wisdom and can be fully re-
lied upon to bring about the desired re-
suit in most permanent manner and
within the shortest space. of time
The government in Shanghai will be
established during the present month
and will be in good running order by
January lst. DIR. Sun believes in the
honor of newspaper men and looks to
them to state the facts with their
valuable columns and for their CO.
operation in the elevation of the Chi
nese people and the upbuilding of the
country.
The conflicting reports telegraphed
from Pekin are the stories of a losing
government that have held the masses
in slavery and taxed them to the limit
and by murder and plundering kept
the people down. Every opportunity
was given to the old government to
effect reforms, not among the peo-
pie, but among her brigand officials
and cut-throats they keep in power.
The story told in a Pekin dispatch
that people understood by change
of government that taxes should be
abolished is absurd. What the people
do understand is that by change OF
government there will be no further
chance for the Manchu government te
absorb every dollar they possess and
to holdlv faka Euac nf Tho nn4;r1
