The president and the premier ap-
parently have divergent views as to
whether the new constitution should
be promulgated by the national
council or by a new parliament to be
summoned after the work Of the
council is finished. President Feng
told the council that he sincerely
hoped that after It had revised the
Chinese election laws, parliament
would be called to draft and promul-
gate the constitution; but Premier
Tuan urged the council itself to
amend the fundamental law Of the
Chinese state.
Unless we have a strong and
sound government, we never will be
able to survive the struggle OF the
nations" declared the president. ITO

years is too short a time to prove
whether government by the people
is suitable for China. Therefore, I
