BY SUN FO, LE.D.
Beprinted from. "The China Quarterly," "
Since the outbreak of hostilities at Lukouchlao in July, 1937, the Legislative Yuan, as the highest law- making body of China, has bent its efforts toward adapting and introducing legislation aimed at streng- thening the country's campaign of armed resistance on the one hand and of national reconstruction on the other..
This was due partly to the patriotic fervour and energy engendered by the national crisis but largely to sheer necessity, for shortly after the hostilities had started," the country found itself seriously handicap- ped by the lack of necessary legislation governing a number of matters, such as mobilization, conscription, requisition of food and provisions; punishment of trea- son, awards for meritorious services, refugee relief, compensation for those wounded or killed in military service, etc.
