The above is but a brief sum- mary of the work and problems of the Legislative Yuan during the past eighteen months and the programme, for its work in the bear future.

What the Legislative Yuan can do and has endeavoured to do un der the circumstances is to remove the legal difficulties in the paths of the military authorities and to reinforce the power of the "High Command so as to enable the na: tion to mobilize and consolidate all its available energies and re sources for the successful pro secution of the protracted war, provided of course that such an extension of the power of the mill tary authorities is compatible with the existing National Constitution and the ideology of the Kuomth- tang.
