Is the growing conviction here among
men in close touch with the republic's
politics. That there Is about to
bo a successful revolution in the
provinces south of t|ie Yangtse, these
Judges of the situation declared was
certain. The revolutionary movement
was said to be practically
unanimous and even though President
Yuan Shi Kal might win a border
battle or two, should ho try to
prevent Southern China's secession
from the north, it was pointed out
that it would be hopeless for him to
attempt to subdue a territory half
the size of tho United States, with a
population appruacuiUE 4vv,uvv,uuu,
rolidly united against him.
It was agreed, cn the other hand,
that the north showed no such disposition
for popular government as
the south and it was admitted that
ft would be as impossible for the
south to beat the north on its own
ground as it would for the north to
hold the south against its will. The
southern leaders proposed a republic,
with land on something like a single
tax basis and tho state in control of
most of the great utilities. They
plan rallrcad building, the establishment
of free schools and as rapid development
as possible by Chinese of
the country's latest resources.
