As part of this plan, Mrs Wang is staying in the elaborate house which was turned into a shrine for Sun Yat Sen by General Chiang Kai Shek He is being treated with the respect, almost reverence, which Dr. Sun received from his disciples.
.
Changes of Twenty-ons Years. Just 21 years ago, Wang Ching Wei came to Peiping as a youthful revolutionary, determined to kill the Manchu Prince Regent, whom he blamed for assaults upon Kuo- mintang revolutionaries. A plan to blow up a bridge across which the Prince was to pass was discovered; Wang was arrested, and sentenced to prison for life. Yuan Shih Rai is said to have interceded for him, and prevented his execution. Two years later the revolution came, and he was speedily released.
Majority Rule..
An explanation of the modified programme is made in an announce- ment by the 18 influential party. leaders gathered in Peiping, headed by Mr Wang. This announcement points out that fundamental Kuo- mintang principles have been sub- ordinated by the group at Nanking which usurped power." A scheme is proposed for correcting the "un-. fortunate tendency toward in- dividual dictatorship and control of the country by an illegal party minority."
This schema proposes that "Kuo- mintang organs shall merely direct and supervise the Government and politics, without interfering with political affairs." It insists that "Kuomintang organs shall not be used as channels to influence public opinion. The manifesto adds that to subject the country to the con- trof of the Kuomintang, a principle bequeathed to us by our late leader, Dr. Sun Yat Sen, means the em that ployment of party principles in governing the country. Therefore all those who are capable of making contributions to this end should be gathered together, so that better results may thus be obtained."
Coming back to Peiping after 21 years, Wang Ching. Wel has been guarded more closely than ever was the Manchu Prince Regent he tried to 'assassinate. This time he has feared assassination himself. The Chinese newspapers assert General Chiang Kai Shek has sent 300 gunmen from
from the South with orders to kill Wang Ching Wei. It is possible that this story is given out, in order to enhance the im- pression that Mang is once more chief of the revolutionaries against oppresive rule
An Influential Figure, There is little doubt, however, that Wang Ching Wei ia the most influential figure in Kuomintang circles. His record as a revolu tionary is impressive. Even since he graduated from the Tokyo Law School at the age of 22, he has fought consistently for the revolu tion in Chios.
Wang was perhaps the closest friend of the late Dr. Sun Yat Sen As far back as 1908, he toured the South Sea Islands in Dr. San's company on behalf of the revolution which came five years later. He was offered the post of Premier in the first revolutionary Government in 1911, but refused public office, which is argued as a point in his favour.
Enmity With Chiang. Kai Shek. The" enmity between¦ General Chiang Kai Shek and Wang Ching Wei has been deep and better.
Premature Tutelage."
The manifesto declares that the group at Nanking announced com- mencement of the "tutelage period" prematurely, before the revolu tionary period had ended. During three years of this so-called tutelage period,it ie alleged that "an extremely corrupt régime has been formed and the rights of the people transgressed."
It is now time to start from the beginning, and build upon more solid foundations, the manifesto suggesta. It proposes that the forthcoming national conference, to which, all sincere people are invited, ehould codify fundamental laws according to the outlines of national construction proposed by the late Dr. Sun, in order to fix definitely the organization of the new Govern- ment and means of protecting civic and private rights of the people.'
Local Government First, Hitherto, the manifesto declares, little attention has been paid to local self-government, which should General Chiang drove him out of be the real beginning of substantial national government. It proposes, Canton in 1925, before the Nation therefore, that * system of alist armies started north.

Mr. Wang stated that the prin- ciple which applies to telegraph and cable enterprises in Japan is one of government ownership and China will follow Japan's policy in this respect.
However, he said, China is not yet prepared to purchase the for- cign-owned telegraph enterprises because she will suffer great finan- cial losses on account of the pre- sent silver slump.
