Mr. Pan Li-sen, the next speaker, said that all Peking's newspapers had been bought by Tsao Kun and were now doing nothing but supporting a man who was a disgrace to China. There was no such thing as free speech and free press in Peking as there was in Shanghai. Li Yuan-hung's coming to Shanghai could be excused, as could his claiming the Presidency, but Tsao who was the enemy of the people, could in no. way be excused. He had broken the laws and was leading the military party to treasonable actions. Mr. Pan suggested that a man be appointed to give his full-time to directing a campaign against Tsao and urged the people and the different organizations to unite with the Shanghai branch of Parliament in ousting © militarism and removing the oppress sors of the people from office While the usurpers were in office, concluded the' speaker, China could never be united or at peace.
Other speakers were Gen. Ma Liang, former Commissioner Defence at Tsinanfu, who is now president of the Chinese Athletic Association, and Mr. Li Chiao-fu.
