the causes of the revolution. Lie speak
er, who had long been a resident in the
Interior of China and who watched the
late rislnsr at close range, voiced Jils
observations on the results so far at
tained. He indicated that only a small
group of politicians have benefited by
the change of government, and that
they have done so at the expense of
the peasantry. : who are the heaviest
taxpayers and tne Desi. cians m iu
community, but who continue to have
no voice or vote in the management of
affairs.
The Assembly which preceded that
newly elected showed utter indifference
to its functions. All reforms pre
viously commenced have- wen suspend
ed and the Chinese Empire has broken
into three independent countries Chi
na, Mongolio and Tibet, he said.
Failure of the Six Power loan is
