Letter to the Native Press over the signature of

Tang and Chung,

The public organizations and bodies throughout the provinces should first inform the Japanese Consuls stationed in their res- -pective districts, and then unite together and telegraph jointly

to the Japanese Government, or to the Japanese Ambassador in Peking that, no matter whether Japan's demands on China are accepted by the Chinese Government or not, the Chinese people have determined to refuse to recognise them. They should also fix a time for the

withdrawal of such demands, and make it clear that in the event of

such withdrawal not,being effected by that time, they will forth- -with cease to use any Japanese goods. If the Japanese Government does not withdraw its demands by that time, the Chinese people should look upon it as an intentionel breach of the peace of

Eastern Asia and a determination to rob Chinn of her administra-

-tive power; they should telegraph the details to the friendly

Foreign Powers, who would no doubt question Japan's action. 2. In order to provide for military expenditure, every one of

118

-

the people of the Chung Wah Republic should make at least

ten monthly contributions, however small, which would be collect-

-ed by the Chung Wah Yational Bank, or their agents. In the event of military operations being necessary, the funds, or any part thereof, derived from such contributions, shall not be drawn upon

unless the sanction of the Houses of Parliament has first been

obtained. In case Hilitery operations are not necessary, the money shall be treated as a military contingent fund, and shall not be expended for any other purposes, mless agreed to by the whole of the nation. Should a rupture take place with a foreign country, and mobilization orders be issued, all merchants should pay whatever increased levy the Houses of Parliament may see fit to impose. As military expenditure increases, a limited number of military notes should be issued by the Chung Wah National Bank, which, when

military operations are at an end, would be redeemed.
