“...effort, and it is essential, to the success of the missionary movement in China that those who>are in it, either as missionaries on the field, or as directors of the movement abroad, should understand not only the work of their own society and of the sections of the field in which that work is located, but of the movement as a whole. The articles presented in this volume were written by sixty different persons, living in all parts of China, and connected with many different societies. While each chapter is complete in itself, that comprehensive view of the work of the past year as a whole, which it is the object of this book to present, will hardly be gained except by reading the book through. The China Continuation Committee is responsible for the China Mission Year Book only in that it appoints the Editorial Committee and the Editor. When articles in the book are the expression of the policies or the views of the China Continuation Committee, this fact is made clear; in all other cases, the...”

“...articles is not meant in any way to take the place of the pro- posed general missionary survey of China, but rather to serve as an introduction to it. It will afford a better understanding of the stage of development which the missionary movement has already reached. It is possible now, for the first time, to pubhlis provincial statistics that are at all complete; These have been collated from the figures furnished the China Continuation Committee by the missions a year ago. They supplement the information contained in the provincial articles, and throw much light on the present distribution of the Christian forces. Several of the other articles are based upon extensive original investigations made by the authors, and are one of the year's contribu- tions to a better understanding of the facts with which they deal. The more important of these are, Dr. E. H. Hume's article on Medical Education in China," Dr. Henry Fowler's article on "Leprosy", Rev. G. A. Clayton's article on ic A Survey of Existing...”

“...PART I THE GENERAL SITUATION IN CHINA CHAPTER I CONSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT (Apnr, J9l6-May, J9X7) L* R. O. Bevan By March, 1916 it was clear that the mon- Fai are of archy must come to an end. Although the Monarchical J i i j. i i j j j Movement monarchical movement seemingly had succeeded by the end of 1915, when a unanimous vote of the citizens' representatives decided in favour of a monarchi- cal form of government and requested that Yuan Shih-kai should assume the imperial purple ; although Yuan after some hesitation bowed to the 44 popular" mandate and signified bis acceptance of the crown; although the calendar adopted the 11 style of the first year of Hung Hsien; and although internal communications bore the royal sign manual, in actual fact the monarchy was not universally ac- cepted within China itself; nor was the new regime recognized by the foreign governments. Early in December the acting Li Fa Yuan & |g= Legislative Assembly), on behalf of the people, had offered the crown...”

“...2 GENERAL. SITUATION Itf CHINA issued ordering the convocation of a national Parliament for the first of May. Though "military operations, so far as they went, were in favour ot the North, it became evident early in March that the threntened secession oJ; the southern and central provinces would delay a peaceful settlement. The Government was thus induced to take action which it thought would bring the internal strife to an end. It was decided to issue a mandate cancelling the monarchy and restoring the Republic. This mandate was promulgated on March for^ttan's ' eve11 attemPt at conciliation Ottsrthrow failed, for the leaders in the south demanded that the President himself retire. The southern republicans had in reality taken up arms in opposition to the man Yuan Shih-kai; the cancelling of the monarchy and the restoration of the Republic with Yuan as President, were no satisfaction to those who, having gained something, were now eager to obtain the fullest measure. It was hoped that...”

“...4 GENERAL. SITUATION Itf CHINA there were returned evasive answers that such matters should be left for decision to the National Parliament when it should assemble. Had the President been able to gather a sufficiency of money he could have prosecuted military operations against the southern leaders with every prospect of eventual, if distant, success; and it must be admitted that Yuan did not exhibit the panic and willingness to concede every demand made on him, which was so marked a characteristic of the Manchu Court during the first Revolution. Under these circumstances it is not surpris- Frovinces the revolted provinces showed little Unite inclination to return to the peaceful fold of a restored republic. On May the 8th the leaders of the revolutionary groups, having sunk their difference, united the southern provinces into a central government with Canton as capital. Li Yuan-hung was appointed to the office of Great President and Commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy, though Li, being...”

“...military operations force the South to give up its in- dependence; or Yuan must retire from office, even from China itself, and so make possible a peaceful union. The first plan was impossible because of lack of money. Neither the North nor the South could lay their hands on the cash necessary to prosecute the war. Financial condi- tions were deplorable. The country was flooded with paper money for which there was no adequate silver reserve. Public unrest drove the people to exchange their notes, so far as they could, for dollars, and the great demand for silver abroad had forced the price to an exceptionally high point, resulting in a steady export of the precious metal. The decree of a moratorium," issued on the 11th of May, which forbade the Bank of China and the Bank of Com- munications to cash their notes or to allow depositors to withdraw their funds, though not obeyed throughout China, caused in certain localities, and more especially in Peking, acute inconvenience, and added 16 the general...”

“...6 GENERAL. SITUATION Itf CHINA Li Yuan-hung, the Vice-president, automat- ConsUtatioii ically became President and the actual head Revived the Government. Military operations im- mediately ceased and there was again the welcome promise of union between North and South. There was no formal, or at any rate public, settlement of terms between the different parties, though the action of the executive in Peking evidently was fashioning itself in accord with southern aspirations. There was no clean sweep of all that had been decreed by Yuan Shih-kai, for this would have made illegal most of the administrative activities of the country. A somewhat loose accommodation paid to con- stitutional law made it possible to retain what was expe- dient, while dispensing with what was not agreeable to the more popular demand. What had been enacted by Yuan as sole legislator was declared invalid, for it was the work of a usurper; but what he had put into operation as the chief executive might be recognized...”

“...as soon as its scattered members could gather together in Peking. The work of building up a government Central system has thus begun again. Two results at Versusm2n* ^east ^ave keen Gained during the five years Provincial from the first revolution to the death of Yuan . Independence Shih-kai. The success of the Revolution finally destroyed the old system of the Manchu absolute rule, and the Yunnan revolution destroyed the possibility of a government by a limited monarch. It is inevitable, if China is to remain one state, that at least the outward form of the government shall be that of a republic. But the foundation plans oL the structure of the government have sail to be settled. The old tradition that the people are the heritage of their rulers is dead, and yet its influence cannot but react on those of the present generation who hold high office. The semi-icdependence of the provinces still resists a closer subordination to a central authority; while the relation between the executive...”

“...8 GENERAL. SITUATION Itf CHINA already law. Considerable progress lias been possible of attainment on those very important articles which define the relationship between the executive and the legislature. Further, the draft contained no reference to the place of the province with regard to the central government. This matter has been raised by the two Houses sitting as a constituent assembly but no settlement has been reached. Thus the two forces which were active at the beginning of the constitutional movement are still operating, and the real settlement has not yet been faced. These are the two fundamental questions Fundamental ior ^utureto build a strong and united Questions republic while satisfying the traditional senti- ment of the independence of the provinces; and to erect an executive that shall be able to lead, that shall possess authority to decide, and that shall have power and liberty to act while satisfying the aspirations of the people who demand that their representatives...”
