For the young sudying law there open up new and
interesting possibilities in this field of legal industrial pilot

When Babst began his career lawyer in Detroit,
few years ago. thinking only of judges juries clients,
and law suits he little imagined that he would live to handle
three hundred million dollars worth of sugar in deal and
find himself the biggest figure the production and market

human beings and that which, considering the nourishing
quality is the cheapest of all human food.
Young lawyers will want to know how this industrial

feet under the table whenever an
interesting looking man comes into

As international expert of the

as president of the great refining

"Mr. Babst is a lawyer. Some Of

ed that they were dismissed in viola
tion Of the constitution, and gathered
themselves in Canton proposing to go
on with their work in defiance Of the
Peking authority, which they call "the
unconstitutional government"
1t would be rather difficult to state
precisely just what principles each of
tho two parties stands for. In general
resents the liberal and the radical ele-
ments of the country and believes in
the predominance of the legislative
ovr the executive; in the development
of larg degree of provincial autono-
my and rather decentralizcd form of
government. In distinction from the
Kuomintang, the Chinputang advo-
Gates strongly centralized form of
government and the predominance of
the executive over the legislative. The
political parties in China are far from
being we'll developed, and in this
stage Of construction and readjust-
ment it is hard to define precisely
their platforms.
Besides these two main parties
there is distinct third party, the Pei
yangpai, although many Of it's mem
bers Identify themselves wit hthe
Chinputang. 1t may be called the mil
itary party, not in the sense taht they
stand for the military development Of
the country, but that the members are
mainly military mem the generals and
the military governors Of the prov
inces who played an important part in
the dissolution of the parliament and
are now the real antagonists of the
kuomintang. Most of the members
bers are of conservatLYQ&heatherear
are OF conservative character, monar-
chically inclined. The Peiyangpai> is
probably older than either Of the 9TH
cr two parties. In the main it is an
outgrowth, although with important
changes, of the Anhwei and the Shihli
groups of the Manchu regime. The
present existence Of two more or less
distinct factions within the party may
be traced back to this earlier division.
1t is inaccurate, if not misleading,
to speak of the Kuomintang and Chin
putang as the northern and the south
ern parties. Many of the eladers of
the Kuomintang are from the north
ern part of the country, and on the
other hand, many important politi-
clans from the south belong to the
Chinputang. Political cleavage in Chi
ma is not geographical. Nor is it
economic for as yet there have not
been developed any distinct economic
interests in the two sections of the
country. The cleavage Is mainly no.
litical in the sense that the differen-
ces OF the parties center on the politi-
cal problems of the country.

action must be taken to oust Yuan

Shih-kai from Peking, though thew
met much opposition from the more
conservative elements of their group.
The Chlnputang may be called the
conservative-progressive party. 1t was
formed out of a consolidation of three
parties, the Republican party, the
Union party, and the Progressive par
ty After the dissolution of parlia-
ment in 1913 it broke up into factions,
one OF which was in FAVOR of Yuan
Shih-kai's monarchical movement,
and the other opposed to it. Among
those who opposed the movement were
Tuan Chi-jui, then chief of the gen
eral staff, LANG Ch'i-ch'ao, and Tsai
40, who afterwards escaped from Pc
KING and became the hero of the Yum
nan revolution of 1915. Both Tsai 40
and l.iang Ch'-ch'ao became very ac-
tive IN the movement to thwart the
monarchlcal attempt or Yuan Shi-kai,
against whom the Kuomintang and
this group of the Chnputang joined
hands. Realizing the futility of his
ambition, however, Yuan Shih-k kai
sought t opacity the people by the or
ganization of the Irresponsible cabi-
net under the leadership of Tuan
Chi-jui.
Ii Yuan-hung, Yuan's successor.
claimed to be man of no party. He
retained Tuan Chi-jui's cabinet with
out any substantial change. But the
parliament, dissolved by Yuan Shih-
kai, and now recalled, was dominated
by the Kuomintang. The old struggle
was then resumed, with the difference
that whereas under Yuan Snih-kai it
was struggle between the Kuomin
tang and the monarchically-inclin
tactlon OF the Chinputang, now it was
between the Kuomintang and the re-
publican faction Of the Chinputang.
The war question brought this
struggle to an issue. The note of
President Wilson inviting the neutrals
to join in declaring war against Ger
many caused deadlock, the cabinet
faVorlng war action, and the Kuomin-
tang element of parliament refusing
10 support such an act, because it
came from their opponents, who, they
claimed, were attempting to coerce
them, although they believed in the
measure The deadlock became cris-
IS hanging on the action Of the presi-

met, as urged by the parliament. or
dissolve the parliament, as proposed
by the cabinet and seconded byy the
military governors. The president de-
cided to take the former measure. The
military governors forthwith demand
ed the dissolution of parliament. The
constitution was silent on this point.
The kuomintang maintained that the
president had no such right, and that
he acted under the coercion Of he mill
tary. The Chinputang men, on the
other hand, argued that parliament
had not eebnfaithful to it's duties, and
that he presiden might call more
compeent one to take Its place if he
saw fit.
After the dissolution Of parliament
Tuan yChi-jui returned, and with him
his cabinet, although one or two posi-
tions in the cabinet were given to
Kuomintang men, only to be dismissed
in q short time. These men wore Chen
Chin-tao, minister of finance, and Sun
Hung-yi, minister Of tho interior.
Meantime the Kuomintang members
Of the dissolved parliament maintain
