Applied concretely to the modern scene, the anarchist philosophy has produced curious results. The anarchistic Genro have been thrown up, by the catrelysm of revolution, into the position of the actual governors of the country. The Nanking Government, as distinct from the old Canton' and Hankow regimes, was established and has been maintained by the anarchists, Wa Tzehui, Tsai Yuan-pei, Li Shih-tseng and Chang Ching-kiang. They placed General Chiang Kai-shek in power and have kept him there, throughout the storms of conflicting i jon. They dominated the Government organized in April, they formed the Special Central Executive Committee in September; they managed the Fourth Plenary ion in December and they re-power to-day after Fifth Plenary Session. In spite of the fact that throughout their intellectual lives, these men have been generally opposed to the theory of a dominating central government, they now find themselves master of such a government; in spite of the willingness to compromise wit the shibboleth of political formulae, they are now the managers of a political machine, which uses as its, lubricant the will of a dead man, the veneration of whom has taken on a semi-religious character.
