the effects Of the Japanese demands
upon my government
Before the political change in 1918
/ had worked very hard in Chinese
politics and therefore | believe what
/ write you is truthful and particu-
lar.
President Yuan Shih-Kai is an un-
principled and militaristic man. He
is not fit to be the president of the
republic of China; he is too tyranical
After taking DR.. Sun Vat Sens place
he soon broke his written oath and
disobeyed the constitution made by
the provincial representatives. He
did unconstitutional acts after going
into office and has since disposed OF
the national affairs at his own dis
erection.
He is not experienced in economy.
During these few years his economi
cal policy has been how to borrow
foreign and national capital. He bor-
rowed from the foreign powers and
taxed the nation without the approve
ment of our parliament Most of the
money loaned has been used for his
personal affairs, but not for the ma
tional expenditures. Is it not a quite
arbitrary measure? All our people at
present know the national tax is ten
times heavier than that Of the Man
chu monarchy.
He is a man ignorant Of new know
ledge of the new world and his princi-
pie is bureaucracy, as tyrannical as
the absolute monarchy Of the Man
chu or worse. He does not listen to
remonstrance or try to reform his
conduct.
All of our people are seriously in
dignant towards the unfair demand Of
Japan. The boycott Of japanese goods
is very strict throughout China. We
think that under such weak basis as
our country is now running. the boy
colt is the most serviceable tool for
war with Japan.
Yuan Shih-Kai has depressed the
patriotism of the Chinese in regard
to the demands of Japan. He has re-
stricted the liberty of speech and the
freedom of the press in order to yield
to Japan without hearing the voice OF
the people. BY this yielding and be-
traying Of his people Yuan Shih-Kai
hopes to gain the support Of Japan in
putting down the revolution which |
has become inevitable. l deem the |
result is our national disgrace.
Since Yuan Shih-Kai dissolved the
parliament after the political change
in the year 1918, military govern
ment replaced the civil. The people
lost their lawful. freedom and rights.
We then awoke to the truth that the |
fabric OF our nation was as frafl as /
D pile OF eggs Under Yuan Shai-Kafs
T. |
By my observation in every direc- |
ton In China, the revolutionary idea |
has spread over all the nation. II
Yuan Shih-Kai does not reform his
conduct and perceive what he has |
wrongly done, the people will soon I
begin to revolt and to put the traitor
70 death. Otherwise we cannot save
and develop our nation.
Confucius said: a I
"A man must first despise himself 1
md then others will despise him. A
'amily must first destroy itself and
hen others will destroy it, A king
ION must first smite itself and then I
others will smite It."
The revolutionary leaders Of every
province of China are secretly in
and with the PRONUNCIATION |
# a great proclamation of revolution
he nation will take up arms 1t will
lot be long until you will hear the
.heers of the Chinese peopla welcom'
ng the new revolutionary army.
