regard to the next three ques tions, our late leader expressed. the opinion that they were all details which need not be taken into account when discussing main principles, and that they could be easily arranged. As to the fifth question, four late Teader's opinion was that, in consideration of the past records of our parliamentary system, members of parliament should be subject to an examination.

An regards the Censors Councit, Art, 43, section 2, of the present Regalations says: "The rights and privileges of the members of the Censors Council will be fixed in separate regulations." This leaves the question of bringing action against the members of the Censors Council and the organ before which such eases should be brought still open. As regards the other questions, with the exception of the one concerning members of parliament which needs no controversy at the present, these new Regulations provide that they will be fixed in separate regulations to be promulgated later. This leaves the questions open just as they were iseussing them with gave many details about its enactment. Their suggestions were, approved by our comrades. On September 19 at the invitation of Chiang Kai-shek our gathered, and Hu Han-ming, Tai Chi Yao and myself were appointed a committee to make a thorough study of the system.
