It would appear that the present situation, with all its attendant complications and the possibility of another general flare-up, is in the main the result of Sun Yat-sen's return to Canton and the revival of Kuo Min Tang influence in the South. But any scheme of military unification (such as appeared possible last year when Ch'en Chiung-ming was in control at Canton and Doctor Sun bidding his time in semi-retirement at Shanghai) which excluded Sun Yat-sen and the Kuo Min Tang, could scarcely have had any permanent results.
The antics of Parliament, who have been a constant source of trouble to the Government (e.g., in the questions reported on in separate despatches of the Manchurian leases and the controversy about the payment of the indemnity to the Late Powers in gold or paper francs), have been overshadowed by the threat of further civil war on a large scale. During the nine months they have been in session, the two Houses have done nothing but furnish conclusive proof of the impracticability of parliamentary government in China.
The origin of the present conflict in Szechuan is, in the words of His Majesty's Consul at Chengtu (not Changking), "to be traced to the abortive military conference convened last autumn.

10. It would appear that the present situation, with all its attendant complications and the possibility of another general flare-up, is in the main the result of Sun Yat-sen's return to Canton and the revival of Kuo Min Tang influence
in the South. But any scheme of military unification (such as appeared possible last year when Ch'en Chiung-ming was in
control at Canton and Doctor Bun biding his time in semi-
retirement at Shanghai) which excluded Sun Yat-sen and the
Zuo Min Tang, could scarcely have had any permanent
results.

The antios of Parliament, who have besa a constant
source of trouble to the Government (e.g. in the questions re-
ported on in separate despatches of the Manchurian leases and
the controversy about the payment of the indemnity to the Lati
Powers in gold or paper france), have been overshadowed by the
threat of further civil war on a large scale. During the nine
months they have been in session the two Houses have done no-
thing but furnish conclusive proof of the impracticability of
parliamentary government in China.

In the meantime civil war has already broken out in
the distressed province of Szechuan. I do not propose to
trouble Your Lordship with a detailed account of the political
and military manɔeuvrings in that province, which for the most
part concern no one but the Szechuanese, but it is nece 88 ary
to report briefly on recent happenings in the fest as they have a certain bearing on the general political situation owing to su Pei-fu's action in taking advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters and support one of the contending
factions in connection with his general military plans.
