China may have discounted

The Parliamentary system of
government was a thing OF slow

In Europe. Nor can any precise
likeness TO China's existing
social. economic and political con

Of Western peoples for use as

had to be satisfied under Eng
lands peculiar conditions: Cnina's
needs. once defined. Will point TO
China's peculiar means OF satisfy
ing them.
The first of these needs is re-
presentation of the economic and
social interests which count for
something in the life of the peo-
pie. The merchant class con
stitutes one OF these interests.
Men OF learning also. by paSt
prestige and present social status,
should enjoy representation. The
larger landholders might be re-
presented indirectly. by means OF
individuals OF their class elected
by local assemblies.
The people of China are so little
acquainted with the Western
system OF choice by popular cleo
ton that a single election Is dis
tinctly preferable 10 many. II may
prove necessary in the institution
OF Parliament. to copy England's
original method OF appointment
10 the upper House. now the House
of Lords. The appointing power
would then find IL necessarily TO
ensure representation OF locality
as well as of economic and social
interests. according a certain num-
Der OF representative TO every
large local district-such as pro
yince-andto the interests in that
district. such as the merchant,
literary and handholding classes.
The power of appointment of a
certain proportion OF the Parlia-
ment's membership should be
delegated TO the chief officers OF
the local districts and also TO the
local councils. whose members
would be subject 10 the desirable,
single popular election.
In the case OF China, where the
utmost simplicity can best serve
the uses OF a people unversed in
self government. a single chamber.
or house, OF Parliament would
function with the fewest obstruc-
lions and least opportunity for
friction and confessions. I'm
questionably the executive should
possess the right of appointment
of certain number OF members. II
only in order TO afford the Parlia-
ment the benefit OF the experience
possessed by men Of conspicuous
fitness for government. The term
OF office OF such executive ap-
pointees should be for ten years
for the other members: and their
Parliamentary membership, unlike
that OF their colleagues. should
not terminate upon dissolution OF
the assembly by the authority OF
the executive.
