Put very briefly, the plan is this: for all leaders to meet together to find a solution to China's most urgent problems. These are, first the organization of a government which shall function throughout the country and whose mandates shall command respect in the provinces; secondly, the disbandment of the army and the placing of the country on a peace footing; thirdly, the reorganization of China's finances. There are many other problems to be faced, but these are the most urgent, and upon their proper solution depends the general progress of the country and the solution of all problems.
It is a significant portent that there is now a growing and intelligent interest among the masses in the welfare of the State, and the popular approval and support of the proposed Conference is the best encouragement to hope that Peace and Prosperity are within measurable distance of realization.
