INCORRECT CONCEPTION

In regard to the form of the Government the Occident generally may have an incorrect conception. Many an American and European may think that China has always been a tyrannical monarchy with the emperor having absolute powers, known as "I am the State" theory. But history again proves that China though for more than 4,000 years had been under a sys- tem of monarchy but the Govern- ment of China is an autocratic rule superimposed on a democracy. This is evident from such state- ments by Mencius as "Heaven" sees accordirig $5 the people see; Heaven hearts according as the people hear. The people are most Important in a nation: the spirits of the land and grain are the next; the sovereign is the lightest." No modern theory on sovereignty is quite similar to this.

No wonder Prot. Giles, an out- "standing English authority on Chi- nese culture and literature, said "China as a great democracy Living In the greatest Republic the world haw ever seen." Prof. W. W. WAI- Ibughby, an American authority on political theories stated, that the Chinese are a democratic people. In fact, China's determined resla- lahoo has demonstrated to the. world that, China given the fra
