The opinion is expressed that the
death of Yuan Shi Kali might have an
unfortunate effect on political condi

Of successful~completion on the basis
of the retirement of Yuan Shi Kai in
favor of Lii Yuan Hung and the forma-

of Yuan and his monarchist partisans.
The death Of the president, which
under the constitution will result in
the succession Of Ii Yuan Hung, robs
the southerners of all grounds of hos.
tility to the north, but 1t also leaves
them nothing with which to bargain
for power.
Ii is declared to be one of the most
popular men in China because he has
abstained from factional quarrels and
has reputation for spotless integrity.
Yuan Shi Kai was reported to have
