"Sun Wen, a former President of the Provisional Government, introduced reforms into the country by promoting the cause of republic anism. He brought the revolution of 1911 to a successful end, and disclaimed power and position. Notwithstanding this he continued to work for the welfare of the people and the country with an energy and wisdom that won for him the admiration of the whole nation. The Provisional Chief Executive has always held this veteran in high esteem, and has always been badly in need of his help. When I assunied my present post I invited him to come to Peking. My wish was that he would live a long life and work with me for the country, heaven is so unmerciful as to de- prive the country of the services of such a man. When Ithink of the difficulties and troubles with which the country is beset, I am overcome with sorrow and grief."
