With regard to the attempt split the Left Wing, it is impossible quite to ascertain the facts beau the Left Wing has taken to secrecy. But my personal observation is that the mre vital forces In the Lett Wing, in the labour and. student movements are turning cither to General Feng Yushsiang or to the Communist Party of China as a result of their disappointment It may then be stated ay a political probability that the Third Party Congress will either never be held or that before it is held, certain forees in. the Kuomints will combine with the Communt Party to end the period of dictate ship.

The present is theoretically the stage of tutelage tani therefore democracy is out of place. Democracy is the goal which can only be attained after the ért of tutelage has been completed. From the standpoint of the student, of polities, this is so much baby, talk, Tatelage by a political party mean only dictatorship by an individual or a clique and cannot succeed.

The annual congress of the Kuomintang afforded the only democratic expression in the government system devised by Borodin and accepted by the Kuomintang. Once every year, the registered members of the Kuomintang, of whatever faction, are to elect representatives to a congress, at which the officials of the Party and Government are to give account of themselves for their work during the past year; at which reports ind accounts might be very thoroughly scrutinized, and at which a new Central Executive Committee, the dominant organ of the Party and Government, is to be elected. The first Party Congress was held la January, 1924, the second in 192 No Party Congress has been held since then and it is now announced that the Third Party Congress is held in March 1929.
