As we stated in this column yesterday, the vast majority of the Chincee in the South have little real trust in President Yuan, und Dr. Sun doubtless, as a Southernor, shares the

He and his fellow- southernors, or, at any rate the vast majority of them cannot forget the part Yuan Shil Kal-played while in the Manoliu service and, particularly, during the time when he received his dramatic recall to Peking. There is no doubt that his actions at the time might easily have been interpreted as being favourable either to Manchus or to Revolutionists. The fact is that Yuan Shih Kai was in a very un- enviable position at the time, and that he was justified in playing the part of a sort of supreme opportunist i nmply proyed by the position he holds today and, better still, by the condition of the country as it appears to bo in the eyes of unprejudiced observers.
