There is no representative govern

All the negotiations are being carried
on by Yuan Shih-kai, who is not a con.

Chinese have no faith. He is declining
even to take the people of China into
his confidence in matter that affects
directly their whole future as a people,
and he is consulting with none who
represent the Chinese people.
So little is Yuan Shih-kai willing TO
trust the people of China, or the opin-
