Among these seven points were methods for the disbandment of superfluous troops, the opening up of home industries to give employment to discharged soldiers, the pacification of the three Eastern Provinces now under the control of Chang Hsieh Liang. the promotion of the general welfare of the people throughout the country, and the straightening up of the affairs.of the Party.
CANTON'S LEAD.
The Canton Political Council was among the first important political bodies to support the Kwangsi Marshal's plaas.. The Council praised the Marshal's ability and foresight and urged that his scheme should be accepted. The telegram adds
seven strong reasons why everyone should uphold Marshal
Li Chung Jen's seven points. "
A free translation of the Canton Political Council's seven reasons follows:-

There were also two "Fourthly, our diplomacy in the past has always been a failureases of enteric and one of puer This was partly because China did peral fever. not have the requisite military and naval strength to back it up, and partly because of the weakness of her diplomats. Marshal Li Chung Jen wants to rectify these errors of the past by appointing strong diplomats backed by the solid sup- port of the people. This will gradually lead to the realization of our tung-li's air-the abrogation of all the unilateral treaties with foreign countries.

As pointed out by Marshal Li Chung Jan, the best way of solving the Manchurian question would be to resort to peaceful political tactics. To invade and conquer the Three Eastern Privinces is not necessary; ns it would surely bring untold suffering to the people.
Sixthly, unless the present stale of affairs within the party is very much improved it will be almost impossible to bring about the period of political tutelage."
