We shall give him land ΠΟΣ merely for ownership but for use to produce food-since it is food, more rood. and not merely land as such that peasant needs. Usury, which is a characteristic disease of a me dieval agricultural economy, is to e extirpated; peasant banks are to be established; and co-operative organization is to be encouraged and developed.
PRIVATE PROPERTY What is the attitude of the Goverment to private property. with special reference to Mission- sry Societies and property which has been developed by owner or tenant?
The Government will not in terfere with the institution of private property except in so far as such interference is impera- tive in carrying out its agrarian policy and the state ownership of public utilities and preventing, in any tendency calculated to repeat a general way, the development of in China the economic and social maladies which "Inissez taire capitalem has created in the in- -dustrialised countries of the world. Specifically, there is no intention to interfere with Missionary So- cieties, but their religious and educational activities must not be conducted in defiance of Chinese laws,

The San Min Chu 1 is, so to speak, the Koran of the Kuomin- tang. We regard it simply as an ordinary collection of popular lec- tures delivered by Dr. taken down in shorthand by one of his secretaries in the summer of 1924 at Canton. It is highly probable that Dr. Sun himself would have acouted the idea that these lectures should be invested with the sort of canonical 21- thority asserted by the Kuomin- tang mollahs in Nanking.
Second Half.
Determined to overcome the odds against them the Club began the second half by pushing the Navy well back into their own ter ritory. Robertson missed a golden opportunity to gain three points when he missed a kick awarded against the Sallors almost directly front of the goal. A few minutes more and the Navy regained their, stride and began a march up the held which terminated with Buck- ley scoring on a place kick taken five yards past centre field.
