<span style="font-size: 173%">Foreword.</span></h1>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The importance of
introducing Western political thought to the Far East has long been
emphasized in the West. The Chinese conception of a rational world
order was manifestly incompatible with the Western system of
independent sovereign states and the Chinese code of political ethics
was difficult to reconcile with the Western preference for a reign of
law. No argument has been necessary to persuade Westerners that
Chinese political philosophy would be improved by the influence of
Western political science.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The superior
qualifications of Sun Yat-sen for the interpretation of Western
political science to the Chinese have also been widely recognized in
the West, particularly in the United States. Dr. Sun received a
modern education in medicine and surgery and presumably grasped the
spirit of Western science. He read widely, more widely perhaps than
any contemporary political leader of the first rank except Woodrow
Wilson, in the literature of Western political science. He was
thoroughly familiar with the development of American political
thought and full of sympathy for American political ideals. His
aspiration to build a modern democratic republic amidst the ruins of
the medieval Manchu Empire, Americans at least can readily
understand.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">What is only
beginning to be understood, however, in the West is, that it is
equally important to interpret Chinese political philosophy to the
rest of the world. Western political science has contributed a great
deal to the development of political power. But it has failed
lamentably to illuminate the ends for which such power should be
used. Political ethics is by no means superfluous in lands where a
government of law is supposed to be established in lieu of a
government of men. The limitation <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"pagevi">[pg vi]</span><a name="Pgvi" id="Pgvi" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> of the authority of sovereign states in the
interest of a better world order is an enterprise to which at last,
it may be hoped not too late, Westerners are beginning to dedicate
themselves.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">As an interpreter
of Chinese political philosophy to the West Dr. Sun has no peer.
Better than any other Chinese revolutionary leader he appreciated the
durable values in the classical political philosophy of the Far East.
He understood the necessity for preserving those values, while
introducing the Western political ideas deemed most proper for
adapting the Chinese political system to its new place in the modern
world. His system of political thought, therefore, forms a blend of
Far Eastern political philosophy and Western political science. It
suggests at the same time both what is suitable in Western political
science for the use of the Far East and what is desirable in Far
Eastern political philosophy for the improvement of the West.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Dr. Linebarger has
analyzed Dr. Sun's political ideas, and also his plans for the
political rehabilitation of China, with a view to the interests of
Western students of politics. For this task his training and
experience have given him exceptional competence. The result is a
book, which not only renders obsolete all previous volumes in Western
languages on modern Chinese political philosophy, but also makes
available for the political scientists and politicians of the West
the best political thought of the Far East on the fundamental
problems of Western politics.</p>

<span style="font-size: 173%">Preface.</span></h1>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This book
represents an exploration into a field of political thought which is
still more or less unknown. The Chinese revolution has received much
attention from publicists and historians, and a vast number of works
dealing with almost every phase of Chinese life and events appears
every year in the West. The extraordinary difficulty of the language,
the obscurity—to Westerners—of the Chinese cultural background, and
the greater vividness of events as compared with theories have led
Western scholars to devote their attention, for the most part, to
descriptions of Chinese politics rather than to venture into the more
difficult field of Chinese political thought, without which, however,
the political events are scarcely intelligible.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The author has
sought to examine one small part of modern Chinese political thought,
partly as a sample of the whole body of thought, and partly because
the selection, although small, is an important one. Sun Yat-sen is by
far the most conspicuous figure in recent Chinese history, and his
doctrines, irrespective of the effectiveness or permanence of the
consequences of their propagation, have a certain distinct position
in history. The <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">San Min Chu I</span></span>, his chief work, not
only represents an important phase in the revolution of Chinese
social and political thought, but solely and simply as doctrine, may
be regarded as a Chinese expression of tendencies of political
thought current in the Western world.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The personal
motives, arising out of an early and rather intimate family
relationship with the Chinese nationalist movement centering around
the person of Sun Yat-sen, that led the author to undertake this
subject, have their advantages and disadvantages. The chief
disadvantage lies in the fact that the thesis must of necessity
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="pageviii">[pg viii]</span><a name=
"Pgviii" id="Pgviii" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> treat of many
matters which are the objects of hot controversy, and that the
author, friendly to the movement as a whole but neutral as between
its factions, may seem at times to deal unjustly or over-generously
with certain persons and groups. The younger widow of Sun Yat-sen
(née Soong Ching-ling) may regard the mention of her husband and the
Nanking government in the same breath as an act of treachery. Devoted
to the memory of her husband, she has turned, nevertheless, to the
Left, and works on cordial terms with the Communists. She said:
<span class="tei tei-q">“... the Nanking Government has crushed every
open liberal, democratic, or humanitarian movement in our country. It
has destroyed all trade unions, smashed every strike of the workers
for the right to existence, has thrown hordes of criminal gangsters
who are simultaneously Fascist <span class="tei tei-q">‘Blue
Shirts’</span> against every labor, cultural, or national
revolutionary movement in the country.”</span><a id="noteref_1" name=
"noteref_1" href="#note_1"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">1</span></span></a> The
author, from what he himself has seen of the National Government, is
positive that it is not merely dictatorial, ruthless, cruel,
treacherous, or historically unnecessary; nor would he, contrarily,
assert that the National Government lives up to or surpasses the
brilliant ideals of Sun Yat-sen. He seeks to deal charitably with all
factions, to follow a middle course whenever he can, and in any case
to state fairly the positions of both sides.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The advantages may
serve to offset the disadvantages. In the first place, the author's
acquaintance with the Nationalist movement has given him something of
a background from which to present his exposition. This background
cannot, of course, be documented, but it may serve to make the
presentation more assured and more vivid. In the second place, the
author has had access to certain <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"pageix">[pg ix]</span><a name="Pgix" id="Pgix" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> private manuscripts and papers, and has had the
benefit of his father's counsel on several points in this work.<a id=
"noteref_2" name="noteref_2" href="#note_2"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">2</span></span></a> The
author believes that on the basis of this material and background he
is justified in venturing into this comparatively unknown field.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The primary
sources for this work have been Sun Yat-sen's own works. A
considerable number of these were written originally in the English
language. Translations of his major Chinese works are more or less
fully available in English, German, French, or Spanish. The author's
highly inadequate knowledge of the Chinese written language has led
him to depend almost altogether upon translations, but he has
sought—in some cases, perhaps, unsuccessfully—to minimize the
possibility of misunderstanding or error by checking the translations
against one another. Through the assistance of his Chinese friends,
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="pagex">[pg x]</span><a name="Pgx" id=
"Pgx" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> he has been able to refer to Sun's
complete works in Chinese and to Chinese books on Sun wherever such
reference was imperatively necessary. A list of the Chinese titles
thus made available is included in the bibliography. The language
difficulty, while an annoyance and a handicap, has not been so
considerable as to give the author reason to suppose that his
conclusions would have been different in any significant respect had
he been able to make free and continuous use of Chinese and Russian
sources.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The author has
thought of the present work as a contribution to political theory
rather than to sinology, and has tried to keep the discussion of
sinological questions at a minimum. In the transliteration of Chinese
words and names he has adhered more or less closely to the Wade
system, and has rendered most terms in the <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style="font-style: italic">kuo
yü</span></span>, or national language. Despite this rule, he gives
the name of President Sun in its more commonly known Cantonese form,
Sun Yat-sen, rather than in the <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style="font-style: italic">kuo
yü</span></span>, Sun I-hsien.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In acknowledging
assistance and encouragement received, the author must first of all
turn to his father, Judge Paul Myron Wentworth Linebarger, Legal
Advisor to The National Government of China, counsellor to and
biographer of Sun Yat-sen during the latter's lifetime. Without his
patient encouragement and his concrete assistance, this book could
neither have been begun nor brought to a conclusion after it was
started. The author desires, however, to make it perfectly clear that
this work has no relation to the connections of Judge Linebarger with
the Chinese Government or with the Nationalist Party. No <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="pagexi">[pg xi]</span><a name="Pgxi" id="Pgxi"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> information coming to the knowledge of
Judge Linebarger in the course of his official duties has been here
incorporated. Anxiously scrupulous to maintain a completely detached
point of view, the author has refrained from communicating with or
submitting the book to Chinese Government or Party officials, and
writes purely as an American student of China.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Professor James
Hart, formerly at The Johns Hopkins University and now at The
University of Virginia, Professor Arthur O. Lovejoy, The Johns
Hopkins University, Professor Harley Farnsworth MacNair and Dr.
Ernest Price, both of The University of Chicago, have rendered
inestimable assistance by reading the manuscript and giving the
author the benefit of their advice. Professor Hart has criticized the
work as an enterprise in political science. Professor Lovejoy
assisted the author by reading the first third of the work, and
selections of the later parts, and applying his thorough and
stimulating criticism; the author regrets that he was unable to adopt
all of Professor Lovejoy's suggestions in full, and is deeply
grateful for the help. Professor MacNair read the book as a referee
for a dissertation, and made a great number of comments which have
made the book clearer and more accurate; the author would not have
ventured to present this work to the public had it not been for the
reassurances and encouragement given him by Professor MacNair. Dr.
Ernest Price, while at The Hopkins, supervised the composition of the
first drafts; his judicious and balanced criticism, based upon
sixteen years' intimacy with the public and private life of the
Chinese, and a sensitive appreciation of Chinese values, were of
great value to the author in establishing his perspective and lines
of study. The author takes this opportunity to thank these four
gentlemen for their great kindness and invaluable assistance.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It is with deep
regret that the author abbreviates his acknowledgments and thanks for
the inspiration and the <span class="tei tei-pb" id="pagexii">[pg
xii]</span><a name="Pgxii" id="Pgxii" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
favors he received in his study of Chinese politics from Dr. C.
Walter Young; Professor Frederic Ogg, of The University of Wisconsin;
Professors Kenneth Colegrove, William McGovern, and Ikuo Oyama, of
The Northwestern University; Dr. Arthur Hummel, of The Library of
Congress; Professor Frederick Dunn, of Yale University; Professor
Arthur Holcombe, of Harvard University; Professor Quincy Wright, of
The University of Chicago; and Dr. Wallace McClure, of The Department
of State. Many of the author's Chinese friends assisted by reading
the manuscript and criticizing it from their more intimate knowledge
of their own country, among them being Messrs. Miao Chung-yi and
Djang Chu, at The Johns Hopkins University; Professor Jên T'ai, of
Nankai University; and Messrs. Wang Kung-shou, Ch'ing Ju-chi, and Lin
Mou-sheng, of The University of Chicago, made many helpful
suggestions. The author must thank his teachers at The Johns Hopkins
University, to whom he is indebted for three years of the most
patient assistance and stimulating instruction, in respect of both
the present work and other fields in the study of government: Dr.
Johannes Mattern; Dr. Albert Weinberg; Mr. Leon Sachs; and Professor
W. W. Willoughby. Finally, he must acknowledge his indebtedness to
his wife, Margaret Snow Linebarger, for her patient assistance in
preparing this volume for the press.</p>

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen
played many rôles in the history of his times. He was one of
those dramatic and somewhat formidable figures who engage the
world's attention at the very outset of their careers. In the
late years of the nineteenth century, he was already winning some
renown in the West; it was picturesque that a Cantonese, a
Christian physician, should engage in desperate conspiracies
against the Manchu throne. Sun became known as a political
adventurer, a forerunner, as it were, of such mutually dissimilar
personages as Trotsky, Lawrence, and Major-General Doihara. With
the illusory success of the revolution of 1911, and his
Presidency of the first Republic, Sun ceased being a conspirator
in the eyes of the world's press, and became the George
Washington of China. It is in this rôle that he is most commonly
known, and his name most generally recalled. After the world war,
in the atmosphere of extreme tension developed, perhaps, by the
Bolshevik revolution, Sun was regarded as an enigmatic leader,
especially significant in the struggle between Asiatic
nationalisms allied with the Soviets against the traditional
capitalist state-system. It was through him that the Red
anti-imperialist policy was pushed to its greatest success, and
he was hated and admired, ridiculed and feared, down to the last
moments of his life. When he died, American reporters in Latvia
cabled New York their reports of Russian comments on the
event.<a id="noteref_3" name="noteref_3" href=
"#note_3"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">3</span></span></a> More,
perhaps, than any other Chinese of modern times, Sun symbolized
the entrance of China into <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page002">[pg 002]</span><a name="Pg002" id="Pg002" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> world affairs, and the inevitable
confluence of Western and Far Eastern history.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It is
characteristic of Sun that he should have appeared in another and
final rôle after his death. He had been thought of as
conspirator, statesman, and mass leader; but with the advent of
his party to power it became publicly apparent that he had also
been a political philosopher. The tremendous prestige enjoyed by
him as state-founder and party leader was enhanced by his
importance as prophet and law-giver. His doctrines became the
state philosophy of China, and for a while his most zealous
followers sought to have him canonized in a quite literal
fashion, and at one stroke to make him replace Confucius and the
Sons of Heaven. After the extreme enthusiasms of the Sun Yat-sen
cult subsided, Sun remained the great national hero-sage of
modern China. Even in those territories where the authority of
his political heirs was not completely effective, his flag was
flown and his doctrines taught.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">His doctrines
have provided the theories upon which the Nationalist revolution
was based; they form the extra-juridical constitution of the
National Government of China. When the forces hostile to Sun
Yat-sen and his followers are considered, it is amazing that his
ideas and ideals should have survived. An empire established with
the aid of Japanese arms, and still under Japanese hegemony,
controls Manchuria; parts of north China are ruled by a bastard
government, born of a compromise between enemies; a largely
unrecognized but powerful Soviet Republic exists in outer
Mongolia; the lamaist oligarchy goes on in Tibet; and somewhere,
in central and western China, a Soviet group, not quite a
government but more than a conspiracy, is fighting for existence.
It is quite probable that nowhere else in the world can there be
found a greater variety of principles, each scheme of principles
fostered by an armed organization struggling with its
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page003">[pg 003]</span><a name=
"Pg003" id="Pg003" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> rivals. In this
chaos the National Government has made the most effective bid for
authority and the greatest effort for the reëstablishment of
order; through it the principles of Sun Yat-sen rule the
political life of a population greater than that of the United
States or of the Soviet Union.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It is
difficult to evaluate the importance of political doctrines. Even
if <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">The
Three Principles</span></span> is judged by the extent of the
population which its followers control, it has achieved greater
results in practical politics in fifteen years than has Marxism
in ninety. Such a criterion may well be disputed, but, whatever
the test, it cannot be denied that the thought of Sun Yat-sen has
played a major part in the political development of his native
land. It may continue into the indefinitely remote future, or may
succumb to the perils that surround its advocates; in any case,
these doctrines have been taught long enough and broadly enough
to make an impress on the age, and have been so significant in
political and cultural history that they can never sink into
complete obscurity.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">What are these
doctrines? Sun Yat-sen was so voluminous a writer that it would
be impossible for his followers to digest and codify all his
writings into one neat and coherent handbook; he himself did not
provide one. Before printing became common, there was a certain
automatic process of condensation which preserved the important
utterances of great men, and let their trivial sayings perish.
Sun, however, must have realized that he was leaving a vast
legacy of materials which are not altogether coherent or
consistent with one another. Certain of his works were naturally
more important than others, but, to make the choice definitive,
he himself indicated four sources which his followers might draw
upon for a definitive statement of his views.<a id="noteref_4"

had projected, an analysis and statement of the programs of the
Chinese nationalists. One attempt toward actualization of this
work was frustrated when Sun's manuscripts and a great part of
his library were burned in the attack launched against him by

was in all probability a more assiduous and widely read student
of political science than any other world leader of his day
except Wilson; he studied innumerable treatises on government,
and was surprisingly familiar with the general background of
Western politics, in theory and practice. He was aware of the
shabby appearance that these undigested occasional pieces would
present when put forth as the bible of a new China, and earnestly
enjoined his followers to carry on his labors and bring them to
fruition.<a id="noteref_13" name="noteref_13" href=

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The various
works included in the <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Chien Kuo Fang Lo</span></span>, while
satisfactory for the purposes Sun had in mind when he wrote them,
are not enough to outline the fundamentals both of political
theory and a governmental plan. The familiar essays have an
important bearing on the formation of the ideology of a new
China; the primer <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page007">[pg

of democracy, less; the industrial plan is one of those
magnificent dreams which, in the turn of a decade, may inspire an
equally great reality. The outline and the manifesto are no more
suited to the rôle of classics; they are decalogues rather than
bibles.<a id="noteref_14" name="noteref_14" href=

There remains the <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">San Min Chu I</span></span>.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The
<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">San Min
Chu I</span></span> is a collection of sixteen lectures delivered
in Canton in 1924. There were to have been eighteen, but Sun was
unable to give the last two. Legend has it that Borodin persuaded
Sun to give the series.<a id="noteref_15" name="noteref_15" href=
"#note_15"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">15</span></span></a>
Whatever the cause of their being offered, they attracted
immediate attention. Interest in Sun and in his ideas was at a
fever heat; his friends turned to the printed lectures for
guidance; his enemies, for statements which could be turned
against him. Both friends and enemies found what they wanted. To
the friends, the <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">San Min Chu I</span></span> presented a
fairly complete outline of Sun's political and social thought in
such a form that it could be preserved and broadcast readily.
There was danger, before the book appeared, that the intrinsic
unity in Sun's thinking would be lost sight of by posterity, that
his ideas would appear as a disconnected jumble of brilliant
inspirations. The sixteen lectures incorporated a great part of
the doctrines which he had been preaching for more than a
generation. To the enemies of Sun, the work was welcome. They
pointed out the numerous simplifications and inconsistencies, the
frequent contradictions in matters of detail, the then outrageous
denunciations of the economic and political system predominant in
the Far East. They ridiculed Sun because he was Chinese, and
because he was not Chinese enough, and backed up their criticisms
with passages from the book.<a id="noteref_16" name="noteref_16"
href="#note_16"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=

"tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">When Sun gave
the lectures, he was a sick man. He carried an ivory-headed sword
cane with him on the platform; occasionally, holding it behind
him and locking his arms through it, he would press it against
his back to relieve the intolerable pain.<a id="noteref_17" name=
"noteref_17" href="#note_17"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">17</span></span></a> The
business awaiting him after each lecture was vitally important;
the revolution was proceeding by leaps and bounds. The lectures
are the lectures of a sick man, given to a popular audience in
the uproar of revolution, without adequate preparation,
improvised in large part, and offered as one side of a crucial
and bitterly disputed question. The secretaries who took down the
lectures may not have succeeded in following them completely; Sun
had no leisure to do more than skim through the book before
releasing it to the press.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">These
improvised lectures have had to serve as the fundamental document
of Nationalist China. Sun Yat-sen died without writing the
treatise he had planned. The materials he left behind were a
challenge to scholars and to his followers. Many persons set to
work interpreting them, each with a conscious or unconscious end
in view. A German Marxian showed Sun to be a forerunner of
bolshevism; an American liberal showed Sun to be a bulwark
against bolshevism. A Chinese classicist demonstrated Sun's
reverence for the past; a Jesuit father explained much by Sun's
modern and Christian background. His works have been translated
into Western <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page009">[pg
009]</span><a name="Pg009" id="Pg009" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
languages without notes; the improvised lectures, torn from their
context of a revolutionary crisis, have served poorly to explain
the ideology of Sun Yat-sen, and his long range political,
social, and economic plans.</p>

<span style="font-size: 120%">The Necessity of an
Exposition.</span></h3>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Followers of
Sun who knew him personally, or were members of that circle in
which his ideas and opinions were well known, have found the
<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">San Min
Chu I</span></span> and other literary remains helpful; they have
been able to turn to the documents to refresh their memories of
Sun on some particular point, or to experience the encouraging
force of his faith and enthusiasm again. They need not be
reminded of the main tenets of his thought, or of the fundamental
values upon which he based his life and his political activities.
His sense of leadership, which strangers have at times thought
fantastic, is one which they admire in him, since they, too, have
felt the power of his personality and have experienced that
leadership in the course of their own lives. His voice is ringing
in their consciences; they feel no need of a guide to his mind.
At the present day many members of Sun's own family, and a
considerable number of his veteran disciples are still living;
the control of the National Government is in their hands. They
are people who need no commentary on Sun Yat-sen; to them, he
died only yesterday.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Others, who
met Sun only casually, or who could know him only through his
writings, have a quite different impression of his thought. They
perforce assume that he thought as he wrote, and fail to realize
that virtually all his writings and speeches were occasional
pieces, improvisations designed as propaganda. One of the most
respected American authorities on China says that in the
<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">San Min
Chu I</span></span> <span class="tei tei-q">“... there is a
combination of sound social analysis, keen comment on comparative
political <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page010">[pg
010]</span><a name="Pg010" id="Pg010" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
science, and bombast, journalistic inaccuracy, jejune
philosophizing and sophomoric economics.”</span><a id=
"noteref_18" name="noteref_18" href="#note_18"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">18</span></span></a> This
view is one which can scarcely be attacked, if one considers only
the printed lectures, and overlooks the other utterances and the
personality of Sun. To apply this, or any similar estimate (and
there are many of them), to all of Sun Yat-sen's thought would be
woefully inaccurate. It is not the critic's fault that Sun never
found time to write a sober, definitive political treatise
expressing his ideas; it is, nevertheless, the critic's
responsibility to weigh the value of the <span class=
"tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">San Min Chu
I</span></span>, and consider the importance which Sun himself
attached to it, before judging Sun's whole philosophy by a
hastily-composed and poorly written book.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Yet, if the
Western student of modern Chinese history were to look elsewhere
for some general exposition of Sun Yat-sen's political ideas, he
would find none. He could discover several excellent translations
of the sixteen lectures, and parts of the other work of Sun. He
would be helped by the prefatory notes to some of these
translations.<a id="noteref_19" name="noteref_19" href=
"#note_19"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">19</span></span></a> A
few treatises would be available to him on special phases of
Sun's thought: the influence of Maurice William, and the
influence of the Russian Communists.<a id="noteref_20" name=
"noteref_20" href="#note_20"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">20</span></span></a> In
addition, there would be the biographies, of which there are more
than a dozen, and a few other useful although not general works.
None of these sifts Sun's thought, seeking to separate the
transitory from the permanent in his ideas. For this the searcher
would have to rely on brief outlines of Sun's ideas, to be found
in <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page011">[pg 011]</span><a name=
"Pg011" id="Pg011" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> works dealing with
modern China or the Chinese revolution.<a id="noteref_21" name=

"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">21</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This relative
scarcity of exegetic material concerning the ideology and
programs of Sun is not the result of any inadequacy on the part
of those persons, both Chinese and Western, who have devoted
thought and time to his life or to the translation of his works.
It is one thing to point out a task that has yet to be done; and
quite another, actually to perform it. An interpretation or
exposition of Sun's thought, to be worthy of the great
significance of the original, must be very thorough; but scarcely
enough time has elapsed to allow a perspective of all the
materials, let alone an orientation of Sun in the Far Eastern
scene. Yet the importance of Sun demands that something be done
to bring his thought to the attention of the world, so that the
usual distortion of his personality—arising from the lack of
commentaries—may be avoided in present day works. In a sense, the
time is not ripe for a definitive treatment of Sun, either as a
figure in history or as a contributor to the significant and
enduring political thought of modern times; any work now done
will, as time passes, fall grotesquely far short of adequacy. On
the other hand, there is so much material of a perishable
nature—anecdotes and legends not yet committed to print, and the
memories of living men—now available, that a present-day work on
Sun may gain <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page012">[pg
012]</span><a name="Pg012" id="Pg012" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
in color and intimacy what it loses in judgment and objectivity,
may gain in proximity what it has to forgo in detachment. And,
lastly, the complete absence of any systematic presentation of
Sun's ideas in any Western language is so great a deficiency in
the fields of Far Eastern history and world political thought,
that even a relatively inadequate exposition of the thought of
Sun Yat-sen may prove to be not without value. Sun himself never
explained his philosophy, whether theoretical or applied, in any
broad, systematic fashion; nor has anyone else done so.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">If the
permissibility of an exposition of Sun Yat-sen's thought be
conceded, there still remains the vexing problem of a choice of
method. While the far-flung peripheries of Sun's thought touch
almost every field of knowledge and opinion, a systematic
condensation of his views cannot hope to survey the same broad
ranges. The problem of proportion, of just emphasis, involves the
nice appraisal of the degree of importance which each of Sun's
minor rôles had in his intellectual career as a whole. Nor do the
difficulties concerning method end with the consideration of
proportion; they merely begin, for there remains the far more
important and perplexing problem of a technique of
interpretation.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Interpretation
obviously relates to the problem of language. The translation of
theoretical terms from Chinese into English constitutes a
formidable difficulty which proves, in several instances, to be
insuperable. No satisfactory equivalent for <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> (usually rendered
<span class="tei tei-q">“livelihood”</span>) can be found in
English; even simpler and less specialized terms are extremely
difficult to render. Sometimes it would be convenient to employ
four or five alternative translations for one Chinese term. Sun
uses the word <span class="tei tei-q">“nationalism”</span> in the
sense that a Westerner would, in advocating national
consciousness in a China hitherto unfamiliar with the conception
of nation-states; but, in <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page013">[pg 013]</span><a name="Pg013" id="Pg013" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> a different context, he uses it in the
sense of <span class="tei tei-q">“patriotism.”</span><a id=
"noteref_22" name="noteref_22" href="#note_22"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">22</span></span></a>
These difficulties must be faced and, somehow or other, overcome.
When the Western reader encounters a familiar term in an
unexpected place, he must be prepared to meet a shift of meaning.
No amount of definition can make a Chinese term, which has no
exact Western equivalent, completely clear. It is simpler to grow
accustomed to the term, to gather together its connotations, to
understand something of the frame of reference wherein it is set,
and thereby to learn it as a child learns a word. A dictionary is
no help to a baby; in a realm of unfamiliar ideas even scholars
must learn terms step by step.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Less obviously
than language, the translation of ideas and of values is also
involved in interpretation. In dealing with the intellectual
content of a civilization as alien as that of China, the
Westerner must be wary of the easy analogy. The full, forceful
application of Western ideas and values in a world to which they
are completely irrelevant produced strange results during the
nineteenth century. Western notions of goodness and
reasonableness did not fit the Chinese scheme of things. Under
such a test a wildly distorted image of China was obtained. China
seemed peculiar, topsy-turvy, fantastic. To themselves the
Chinese still seemed quite matter-of-fact, and the Westerners
thought even this odd and ridiculous: not only was China
upside-down, but the Chinese did not know it! In any case, the
present-day scholar, to whom so much material concerning the
Chinese is available and China so near, has little justification
for applying Western tests of virtue and rationality to things
Chinese.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">If the
application of Western values to China is avoided, there is still
the danger that the Chinese scheme of things may not be
interpreted at all. The literal translation <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page014">[pg 014]</span><a name="Pg014" id=
"Pg014" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> of Chinese terms strips them
of their contexts. The result may be unintelligibility. The
Chinese term <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">jên</span></span> is
frequently rendered <span class="tei tei-q">“benevolence,”</span>
a Western word which, while at times an approximate equivalent,
fails to carry the full burden of meaning. Sun speaks of an
interpretation of history antagonistic to dialectical
materialism—the interpretation of history by <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">jên</span></span>. A <span class=
"tei tei-q">“benevolent”</span> interpretation of history means
nothing whatever to a Westerner. If <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">jên</span></span> is translated into a
different configuration of words, and given as <span class=
"tei tei-q">“group-consciousness”</span> or <span class=
"tei tei-q">“social fellow-feeling,”</span> the result, while
still not an exact equivalent of the Chinese, is distinctly more
intelligible.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">To effect this
translation of ideas and values, several methods are available.
The issue cannot be dodged by a denial of its existence; the mere
act of explanation involves some process, whether deliberate or
unconscious, of translation and transvaluation. If the
interpreter refuses to deal with the problem consciously, he will
nevertheless be guided by his unrevealed assumptions. To give an
accounting for what he has done, he must, first, admit that he is
interpreting, and second, seek to make plain what he is doing, so
that his readers may allow for the process. The demonstration of
the consequences of interpretation minimizes their possible
adverse effects. The simplest way to allow for the alterations
(beyond mere reproduction) arising from interpretation would be
to adopt a technique so widely known that others could, in their
own minds, try to re-trace the steps of the process and negate
the changes. Among such widely known techniques are the Marxian
and the sociological.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Both these
scarcely seem adapted to the problems presented by an
interpretation of Sun Yat-sen. The Marxian terminology is so
peculiarly suited to the ulterior purposes the Marxians keep in
mind, and is so esoteric when applied to matters not related to
the general fields in which the Marxians are interested, that it
could scarcely <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page015">[pg
015]</span><a name="Pg015" id="Pg015" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
be applied in the present instance. A non-Marxian would find it a
hazardous task. The interpreter of Sun Yat-sen must interpret
<em class="tei tei-emph"><span style=
"font-style: italic">into</span></em> something; what, depends on
the audience. Dialectical materialism, in the abstract excellent
as a technique, would scarcely make Sun understandable to most
Americans of the present day. Sun himself rejected the Marxian
method of interpretation; an American audience would also reject
it; these two factors outweigh all the conceivable
advantages.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The
sociological technique of interpretation is quite another
question. The various methods of analysis developed by each of
the schools of sociologists are still the objects rather than the
tools of study. Such men as Max Weber and Vilfredo Pareto have
made contributions to Western social thought which enrich the
scope and method of the social studies. Their methods of analysis
are not weighted down by a body of extraneous considerations, as
is the Marxian, and they promise an objectivity not otherwise
attainable. On the other hand, they are still at that stage of
development where the technique obtrudes itself; it has not, as
has the inductive method in general, become so much taken for
granted as to be invisible.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The
sociological approach need not, however, be carried to the full
extent thought necessary by its advocates. In the study of law,
the consideration of extra-juridical materials is called
sociological in contrast to the strictly juristic. If the legal
scholar goes beyond the strict framework of the law, and
considers other elements in man's behavior and knowledge while
dealing with legal problems, he is apt to be called a
sociological jurist. In doing so he is not committed, however, to
belief in or use of any particular form of what is known as the
science of society or sociology. He may adopt almost any sort of
social outlook, or may be committed to any one of many doctrines
of social value and to any one of widely varying methods of
social study.</p><span class="tei tei-pb" id="page016">[pg
016]</span><a name="Pg016" id="Pg016" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This negative,
broad sense of the sociological, when applied to the study of
politics, has commonly meant that the scholars employing it began
with the notion of the political, but, finding it too narrow,
touched upon related fields. An interpretation of Sun Yat-sen's
politics might be based on this method. It would still be a
political work, in that it sought to associate his ideas with the
ideas concerning government to be found in the West, but would be
free, nevertheless, to touch upon non-political materials
relevant to Sun's politics. The Chinese have had notions of
authority and control radically different from those developed in
the West; a purely juristic interpretation of the various Chinese
politics would simply scrape the lacquer off the screen.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The Chinese
have not had the sharp distinction of disciplines which runs
through all Western learning. Since one of the most conspicuous
ingredients in their thought—conspicuous, that is, to Westerners
looking in from outside—has been the ethical, many Westerners
have dismissed Chinese historical, political and more strictly
philosophical thought as being loosely and amiably ethical but
never getting anywhere. The Chinese did not departmentalize their
learning to any considerable degree. Politics was not the special
activity of a definite group of men, or the study of a select
body of scholars. Politics ran through and across most of the
activities in society, and was largely the interest of that
intellectual élite by which China has been so distinguished on
the roster of civilizations. In becoming everything, politics
ceased being politics; that is, those elements in man's thought
and behavior which Westerners have termed political were not
separated and labelled. The Westerner must say that politics was
everything in China, or that it was nothing.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">An
interpretation of Sun Yat-sen must keep in mind these differences
between Chinese and Western categories. In doing so it will pass
beyond the limits of what is commonly <span class="tei tei-pb"
id="page017">[pg 017]</span><a name="Pg017" id="Pg017" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> known as politics, since no sharp
boundaries of <span class="tei tei-q">“politics”</span> are to be
found in China. Yet, as an interpretation designed to serve
Western readers, it must return again and again to Western
politics, making comparisons when they are justified, pointing
out differences between China and the West as they become
relevant and clear. The interpretation will thus weave back and
forth between conventional Western political science, with its
state-mindedness, and the wholly different material of traditions
and customs out of which Sun sought to construct an ideology and
a system of working politics for China in the modern world.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">How can this
interpretation seek to avoid the misfortunes and errors into
which so many similar attempts have fallen? It must proceed
without the aid of such specialized techniques as
dialectical-materialistic or Paretian analysis, and yet aim at
the scientific, the rationally defensible, the objective. In
seeking to apply a method in the interpretation of Sun Yat-sen,
the work must face criticism of its method, must make the method
explicit and simple enough to allow criticism. If the thought of
Sun really is to emerge from the exposition, the exposition must
allow itself to be judged, so that it can be appraised, and so
that, one way or another, it may not interfere with the just
evaluation of the materials which it seeks to present. Sun
Yat-sen should not be judged poor because of a poor
interpretation; nor, on the other hand, should his thought be
adjudged more excellent or more exact than it seems to the
Chinese, merely because the expositor has suggested an
interpretation possibly more precise.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The technique
adopted in the present work is a relatively simple one. It is an
attempt to start <span class="tei tei-foreign"><span style=
"font-style: italic">de novo</span></span> with certain concepts
of society and government. Several simple although novel terms
are introduced, to provide a foundation upon which the procedure
may rest. One of <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page018">[pg
018]</span><a name="Pg018" id="Pg018" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
these, for instance, is <span class=
"tei tei-q">“ideology,”</span> which in the present work refers
to the whole psychological conditioning of a group of
persons.<a id="noteref_23" name="noteref_23" href=
"#note_23"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">23</span></span></a> No
attempt is made, at the beginning or at any later phase of the
exposition, to distinguish between the ideology as belief and the
ideology as truth. Whether the Chinese were and are right, or the
Westerners, are questions, not for the student of comparative
political science, but for the philosopher and the psychologist.
The interpretation seeks, as far as possible, to transpose
certain parts of the traditional Chinese ideology, as they were,
and as Sun Yat-sen re-shaped them, into one frame of reference
provided by the ideology of twentieth-century America. What the
<span class="tei tei-q">“real truth”</span> is, does not matter;
the Marxians would say that both ideologies were inexact; so
might the Roman Catholics. If the <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page019">[pg 019]</span><a name="Pg019" id="Pg019" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> ideology of old China, and the ideology
that Sun wished to see developed in the minds of the Chinese
people of the future, can be made comprehensible in terms of
contemporary American beliefs, of fact or of value, this venture
will have been successful.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The Chinese
ideology cannot be explained in its own terms; these exist only
in the Chinese language. If Sun Yat-sen's own arrangement of his
works is inadequate for the Chinese, rearrangement is a task for
the Chinese and not for the Western scholars to perform. The
Westerners who deal with Sun can contribute substantially only if
they give what the Chinese cannot—enough of a reference to their
own ideology to permit a broader scale for the analysis and the
appreciation of Sun's thought. Their knowledge of their own world
of ideas is the special tool which justifies their intervention
in this Chinese field of knowledge.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In avoiding
the unjustifiable imposition of Western ideas and values upon the
Chinese, and yet orienting Sun's thought with respect to the
West, the interpretation will have to resort to several fairly
evident means. In the first place, it will have to transpose
Chinese ideas into the Western ideology, and yet avoid
distortions of meaning. This can be partly done by the use of
neutral terms, of terms which are simple and clear enough to
reproduce the Chinese, and nevertheless not so heavily burdened
with connotations that they will cause a reading-in of Western
ideas not relevant to the point in question. More simply, the
Chinese ideas must be represented by terms which approximate the
same set of values in the West that their originals have in
China. This will sometimes require the use of unfamiliar
periphrases: the words <span class="tei tei-q">“music”</span> and
<span class="tei tei-q">“rites”</span> may be given as
<span class="tei tei-q">“the rhythm of life”</span> and
<span class="tei tei-q">“conformity to the ideology.”</span>
Secondly, the Chinese ideology need not be given as a whole; it
is improbable that it could, without a terrific expansion
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page020">[pg 020]</span><a name=
"Pg020" id="Pg020" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> of the Western
ideology to accommodate it; but enough of the Chinese ideology
must be given to explain the significant differences between the
Chinese system of controlling the behavior of men, and the
Western. This latter involves the choice of material, and is
therefore by its nature challengeable.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Again, in
demonstrating significant differences instead of merely seeking
analogous (and probably misleading) examples, the interpretation
might turn to certain aspects of Chinese philosophy which appear
as strikingly illustrative of the point of view of the Chinese.
Confucius the political thinker is only a small part of Confucius
the man and the philosopher; Chinese political thought, although
a vast field, is only a small part of the social thought of the
Chinese. Only an infinitesimal part of this comparatively minor
area of Chinese study will suffice to make clear some, at least,
of the sharp differences of outlook between China and the
West.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">A
recapitulation of this declaration of technique may be found
helpful, for an understanding of Sun Yat-sen by Westerners is
necessary because of the vastly different background of his
thought. Even apart from the strangeness of his thought to the
West, it is scattered in the original, and must be pieced
together. An exposition of his ideas which would, at one and the
same time, present a systematic outline of his ideas, and
transpose them into a frame of reference where Western scholars
might grasp them, might be a labor meriting performance. His
terms would have to be rendered by neutral words (not overladen
with particular Western contexts) or by neologisms, or simply
left in the original, to develop meaning as a configuration of
related ideas is built up about them. The problem of
interpretation cannot, however, be solved by settling the
difficulty of language: there still remains the question of a
technique which can pretend to the scientific, the exact, the
rationally defensible. Despite their great <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page021">[pg 021]</span><a name="Pg021" id=
"Pg021" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> merits, the Marxian and
Paretian techniques are not suited to the present task. The point
of view and means of study of political science may be kept, if a
few necessary borrowings from sociological thought (not
necessarily sociology) are introduced. Such borrowing includes
the use of notions such as non-political society, patterns of
authority, and ideology, none of which are to be found in the
more law-minded part of political science. By seeking to point
out the Chinese, then the Western, ideas involved, without
confusing the two, the presentation may succeed in transposing
the ideology of Sun Yat-sen, as well as his beliefs concerning
working politics, into the English language and into an
explanatory but not distorting background. To do this, a small
sampling of certain aspects of old Chinese social thought and
behavior will be a required preliminary.</p>

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The <span class=
"tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">San Min Chu
I</span></span> and related works of Sun Yat-sen represent in their
entirety one of the most ambitious bodies of doctrine ever set
forth by a political leader. They differ from such a document as
the Communist Manifesto in that they comprehend a much greater
range of subject matter and deal with it in much greater detail.
They pertain not merely to the reconstitution of an economic or
political system; they propose a plan for the reconstruction of a
whole civilization, the reformation of a way of thought customary
among a great part of the human race, and a consequent
transformation of men's behavior. Conceived in the bold flights of
a penetrating, pioneering mind, avowedly experimental at the time
of their first utterance, these works of Sun have already played a
most significant rôle in the Far East and may continue to affect
history for a long time to come. They may quite legitimately be
called the bible of new China.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Social change is
a consequence of maladjustment. The thought of Sun Yat-sen is a
program of change—change which, if it is to be understood, must be
seen at its beginning and its end. The background from which Sun
emerged and which was an implicit condition of all his utterances
must be mentioned, so that the problems he faced may be understood.
Only then will it be possible to turn to the plans he devised for
the rethinking of Chinese tradition and the reorganization of
Chinese polity. A vast maladjustment between the Chinese and the
world outside led to the downfall of the Manchu Empire in China and
has threatened the stability of every government <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page023">[pg 023]</span><a name="Pg023" id="Pg023"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> erected since that time; Chinese
society is in a state of profound unrest and recurrent turmoil. Sun
Yat-sen contributed to the change, and sought a new order, to be
developed from the disorder which, voluntarily or not, he helped in
part to bring about.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The old order
that failed, the <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style=
"font-style: italic">interregnum</span></em> (in the etymological
sense of the word), and the new order proposed by Sun must be taken
all together in order to obtain a just understanding of Sun's
thought. No vast history need be written, no <span class=
"tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Decline and Fall of
the Chinese Empire</span></span> is necessary, but some indication
of the age-old foundations and proximate conditions of Sun's
thought must be obtained.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">These may,
perhaps, be found in a sampling of certain data from the thought
and behavior of the Chinese as a group under the old system, and
the selection of a few important facts from the history of China
since the first stages of the maladjustment. An exposition of Sun's
thought must not slur the great importance of the past, yet it dare
not linger too long on this theme lest the present—in which, after
all, uncounted millions of Chinese are desperately struggling for
life—come to seem insignificant.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Confucianism is
a philosophy so broad and so highly developed that any selection
does violence to its balance and proportion, which are among its
chief merits.<a id="noteref_24" name="noteref_24" href=

can be taken from the history and thought of the Chinese which may
assist the Westerner in becoming familiar with a few terms which
recur again and again in the works of Sun Yat-sen. If the present
work purported to be a study of Chinese history, or a complete
analysis of the Chinese social system, such an extreme selectivity
could not be condoned; since it, however, tries only to outline
Sun's thought, the selection of a few Confucian doctrines and the
complete ignoring of others, may be forgiven. All the schools of
the past, and the literary traditions which developed from them,
and social tendencies that were bound up with these have to be
omitted, and those few ideas and customs described which bear
directly on one single point—the most significant ideological
differences between the Chinese and the West with respect to the
political order, i. e. the control of men in society in the name of
all society.<a id="noteref_25" name="noteref_25" href=

<span style="font-size: 144%">Nation and State in Chinese
Antiquity.</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The Confucian
system, against which Sun Yat-sen reacted in part and in part
sought to preserve, was a set of ideas and institutions developed
as a reaction against certain conditions in ancient China. These
conditions may be roughly described as having arisen from a system
of proto-nationalisms, at a time when the old—perhaps
prehistorically ancient—Chinese feudal system was rapidly declining
and an early form of capitalism and of states was taking its place.
The Chou dynasty (ca. 1150-221 B.C.) was in power at the time of
this transition; under its rule the golden age of Chinese
philosophy appeared—Confucius (552-479 B.C.) and Lao Tzŭ (ca.
570-ca. 490 B.C.) lived and taught.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Their
philosophies, contrary to the popular Western beliefs concerning
Chinese philosophies, were protests against a world which seemed to
them well-nigh intolerable. The old Chinese system, which may seem
to Westerners a highly mystical feudal organization, was in its
century-long death-agonies; the virtues it had taught were not the
virtues of the hour; the loyalties it had set up were loyalties
which could scarcely be maintained in a time when rising states,
acting more and more as states have acted in the West, were
disrupting the earlier organization <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page026">[pg 026]</span><a name="Pg026" id="Pg026" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> of society, waging struggles—in the manner
that, centuries later, Machiavelli was to portray—of intrigue and
warfare for the eventual hegemony over that whole area of eastern
Asia which the Chinese of that time regarded as the civilized
world.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The political
aspects of the transition from the feudal to the proto-national
system is described by one of the most eminent of the Western
authorities on China in the following terms: <span class=
"tei tei-q">“The aim of all the Leaders was to control western
Ho-nan. There is the heart of ancient China.... All around about,
in vaster regions occupied no doubt by less dense and more shifting
populations, great States formed, increasing first towards the
exterior, seeking (as we have seen in the case of China) to cut the
communication of their rivals with the Barbarians, mutually forcing
each other to change the directions of the expansion, exercising on
each other a pressure from behind, and a converging pressure on the
central overlordships. All schemed to conquer them. Thus an
amalgamation was achieved. Whilst in the centre the Chinese nation
was coming into being, on the outer borders States were being
formed which, aiming at annexing the centre of China, ended by
themselves also becoming Chinese.”</span><a id="noteref_26" name=
"noteref_26" href="#note_26"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">26</span></span></a> Not
only did the newer, political organization of society begin to make
itself distinct from the family, feudal, and religious
organization; it began to engage in activities which increased its
resemblance to the Western system of nations. Tributes of textiles,
horses, and compulsory labor were demanded. A non-feudal economy
was encouraged; <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page027">[pg
027]</span><a name="Pg027" id="Pg027" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
the state of Ch'i encouraged artisans and merchants, and favored
the trade in fish and salt. Mining, metallurgy and currency were
studied. State monopolies were created out of the products of
forests, lakes, marshes, shell-fish beds, and salt pans. Mines also
became <span class="tei tei-q">“treasures of the
state.”</span><a id="noteref_27" name="noteref_27" href=
"#note_27"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">27</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The history of
these states reads like a page torn out of the history of early
modern Europe. The struggle was half diplomatic and half military.
From the beginning of the Spring and Autumn period (722-481 B.C.)
to the end of the Age of Warring States (491-221 B.C.), China was
subject to frequent war and unstable peace. The character of war
itself changed, from a chivalrous exercise almost ritualistic in
nature, to a struggle of unrestricted force. The units of
government which were to develop into states, and almost into
nations, began as feudal overlordships; traditional hatreds and
sentiments were developed; diplomatic and military policies
crystallized and became consistent; and activities of a state
nature became increasingly prominent.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Concurrently,
other factors operated to prevent an indefinite continuance of
these struggles of proto-national states and to avoid the
appearance of a permanent system of armed nations such as that
which has appeared in modern Europe. The feudal system of China
left a strong ethnical, linguistic and intellectual heritage of
unity, which was stronger than the cultural disunities and
particularities appearing in certain of the states. (The state of
Chêng was particularly conspicuous in developing a peculiar state
culture.)<a id="noteref_28" name="noteref_28" href=
"#note_28"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">28</span></span></a> As the
states became larger and larger with the passing of time, they
tended not only to develop certain large differences between
themselves, but to eradicate the minute local peculiarities of the
old <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page028">[pg 028]</span><a name=
"Pg028" id="Pg028" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> system, and in so
doing to increase the general homogeneity which was also a heritage
of the past ages. This general homogeneity found a living symbol in
the persons of the Chou Emperors who, possessed of no more power
than the Tennos under the Shogunate, acted, as did their Japanese
analogues two thousand years later, as the quasi-religious
personifications of the whole general community. It thus occurred
that the old feudal system was destroyed by the growth of a general
non-feudal economy and political order, which, in its turn, led to
the development of the great imperial system under which China
continued for many centuries. The period of the transition, during
which the traditional feudal unity had been shaken and the new
imperial unity not yet established, was a tumultuous and bloody
one. The presence of a confederation under the hegemony of some one
state—the so-called Presidency—provided a suitable framework for
rivalries toward power, without particularly increasing the general
peace.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The transition,
as it took place, was neither apparent nor agreeable. The political
turmoil was but slightly less than the intellectual unrest and
disturbance. Everywhere faith and acceptance seemed to have been
lost to humanity; licentiousness and impiety fed discord. The lack
of harmony, made doubly vivid by the presence of a strong tradition
of primeval Arcadian peace and unity under the mythological
Emperors, was bitter to the scholars and men of virtue of the time.
It was quite inevitable that protests should be raised which would
hasten the advent, or return, of unity and peace. These protests
form the subject of the work of Confucius and the other great
philosophers, and schools of thinkers, of the Chou dynasty. It was,
in later ages, upon these philosophies that the great structure of
Chinese society developed and continued down until modern
times.</p>

<span style="font-size: 144%">The Theory of the Confucian
World-Society.</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The various
types of protest against the development of states and the
consequent anarchy of the Chinese society considered as a whole
cannot be considered in this work; many were primarily religious;
Taoism, while ranking as one of the most conspicuous religions of
the world, has little bearing on politics. Even Confucianism, which
merits careful study, must be summarized and re-stated as briefly
as possible. Confucianism has suffered from an ambiguity and
exoticism of terms, when presented to the West; its full
significance as a political philosophy can become fully apparent
only when it is rendered in the words of the hour.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">What was it that
Confucius did in protest against the established discord of the
world he knew? He struck directly at the foundations of politics.
His criticisms and remedies can be fully appreciated only by
reference to a theory of ideology.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Confucius
perceived that the underlying problem of society was that of
ideology; he seems to have realized that the character of a society
itself essentially depends upon the character of the moral ideas
generally prevalent among the individuals composing it, and that
where there is no common body of ideas a society can scarcely be
said to exist.<a id="noteref_29" name="noteref_29" href=
"#note_29"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">29</span></span></a> He did
not consider, as did Han Fei-tzŭ and the legalist school of
philosophers, questions of law the preëminent social problem. He
realized that state and law were remedies, and that the prime
questions of organization were those anterior to the political, and
that the state existed for the purpose of filling out the
shortcomings of social harmony.<a id="noteref_30" name="noteref_30"
href="#note_30"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">30</span></span></a></p><span class="tei tei-pb"

"tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In a
society—such as Confucius dreamed of—where there was no
disagreement in outlook, policy would not be a governmental
question; if there were no disharmony of thought and of behavior,
there would be no necessity of enforcing conformance to the
generally accepted criteria of conduct. From this standpoint,
government itself is socially pathological, a remedy for a poorly
ordered society. Men are controlled indirectly by the examples of
virtue; they do good because they have learned to do good and do it
unquestioningly and simply. Whatever control is exercised over men
is exercised by their ideology, and if other men desire control
they must seek it through shaping the ideas of others. At its full
expression, such a doctrine would not lead to mere anarchy; but it
would eliminate the political altogether from the culture of man,
replacing it with an educational process. Ideological control would
need to be supplemented by political only if it failed to cover the
total range of social behavior, and left loopholes for conflict and
dispute.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This doctrine is
framed in quite different terms by Confucius, who spoke and wrote
in an age when the mystical elements of the old feudal ideology
still exercised powerful and persuasive influence, and when there
was no other society than his own which he might make the object of
his study. The central point of his teachings is the doctrine of
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=

the most brilliant modern exponents of ancient Chinese philosophy,

"font-size: 90%">To love fellow-men</span><span style=

appears more specific in its application when it is realized that

in social and political ideology. Nevertheless, the linguistic
difficulty was clear to him. The expansion of the Chinese written

indiscriminate coining of neologisms, and there was a tendency

long and fruitless disputes over empty words might be engaged in
or, what was even worse, words might not conform to the realities
of social life, and might be used as instruments of ill-doing.
Confucius did not, however, present a scheme of word-worship. He
wanted communication to cement society, to be an instrument of
concord. He wanted, in modern terms, a terminology which by its
exactness and suitability would of itself lead to harmony.<a id=

"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">34</span></span></a> In
advocating the rectification of names, Confucius differed from many
other founders of philosophies and religions; they, too, wanted
names rectified—terminology reorganized—to suit their particular
doctrines; but there they stopped short. Confucius regarded the
rectification of names as a continuous process, one which had to be
carried on unceasingly if communication, for the sake of social
harmony, was to remain just and exact.</p><span class="tei tei-pb"

in Confucian thought, and exhibits the striking difference between
the Chinese and the older Western political study. If the terms by
means of which the communication within a society is effected, and

the existence of ideology, and proposes the strengthening of

dependent upon ideology for group existence, Confucius delivered
Chinese political thought from any search for an ontology of the

the necessity for the control of ideology by men, Confucius
anticipated theories of the <span class="tei tei-q">“pedagogical

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The approach to
society contained in the doctrines of <span lang="zh" class=

"font-style: italic">jên</span></span>, <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">chêng ming</span></span>, and <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">li</span></span> is, therefore, one which
largely eliminates the necessity for politics. Its influence may be
estimated from three points of view: (1) to what degree was
government different from what it might have been had it followed
the line of development that government did in the West? (2) what
was the range of governmental action in such a system? and (3) what
was the relation of government to the other institutions of a
Confucian society?</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In regard to the
first point, it will be seen immediately that government, once
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">chêng ming</span></span> has been set in
motion, is not a policy-making body. There is no question of
policy, no room for disagreement, no alternative. What is right is
apparent. Politics, in the narrow sense of the word, ceases to be a
function of government; only administration remains.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Secondly,
government needs to administer only for two purposes. The chief of
these is the maintenance of the ideology. Once right views are
established, no individual is entitled to think otherwise.
Government must treat the heterodox as malefactors. Their crime is
greater than ordinary crime, which is a mere violation of right
behavior; <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page035">[pg
035]</span><a name="Pg035" id="Pg035" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
they pollute right thought, set in motion the forces of discord,
and initiate evils which may work on and on through the society,
even after the evil-thinkers themselves are dead. To protect the
society actively against discord, the government must encourage the
utterance of the accepted truth. The scholar is thus the highest of
all the social classes; it is he who maintains agreement and order.
The government becomes, in maintaining the ideology, the
educational system. The whole political life is education, formal
or informal. Every act of the leader is a precept and an example.
The ruler does not compel virtue by law; he spreads it by his
conspicuous example.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The other
function of the government in maintaining the ideology lies in the
necessity of dealing with persons not affected by the ideology.
Barbarians are especially formidable, since both heretics and
criminals may be restored to the use of their reason, while
barbarians may not, so long as they remain barbarians. Accordingly,
the government is also a defense system. It is a defense against
open and physical disruption from within—as in the case of
insurrectionaries or bandits—and a defense against forces from
without which, as veritable powers of darkness, cannot be taught
and are amenable only to brute force.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In connection
with the third point, government itself appears as subject to
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">li</span></span>. It has no right to do wrong.
The truth is apparent to everyone, and especially to the scholars.
In this wise the Chinese governments were at the mercy of their
subjects. No divine right shielded them when public opinion
condemned them; ill-doing governments were twice guilty and
contemptible, because of the great force of their examples. An evil
emperor was not only a criminal; he was a heresiarch, leading many
astray, and corrupting the virtue upon which society rested—virtue
being the maintenance of a true and moral ideology, and conformity
to it.</p><span class="tei tei-pb" id="page036">[pg
036]</span><a name="Pg036" id="Pg036" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The consequence
of these teachings was such that we may say, without sacrificing
truth to paradox, that the aim of Chinese government was
anarchy—not in the sense of disorder, but in the sense of an order
so just and so complete that it needed no governing. The
<span lang="fr" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="fr"><span style=
"font-style: italic">laissez-faire</span></span> of the Chinese was
not only economic; it was political. The Great Harmony of
Confucius, which was his Utopia, was conceived of as a society
where the excellence of ideology and the thoroughness of conformity
to ideology had brought perfect virtue, perfect happiness.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The other
doctrines of Confucius, his practical teachings on statesmanship,
his discourses on the family—these cannot be entered into here.
Enough has, perhaps, been shown to demonstrate the thoroughness of
Confucius' reaction against state and nation.<a id="noteref_38"
name="noteref_38" href="#note_38"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">38</span></span></a> This
reaction was to continue, and to become so typical that the whole
Chinese system of subsequent centuries was called Confucian,<a id=

"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">39</span></span></a> until
the exigencies of a newer, larger, and more perilous world led to
Sun Yat-sen's teaching of modern Chinese nationalism. Before taking
up the doctrine of <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign"
xml:lang="zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min
tsu</span></span>, it may be worthwhile to summarize the manner in
which Chinese society, deliberately and accidentally, each in part,
followed out the doctrines of Confucius in its practical
organization.</p>

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It would be, of
course, absurd to pretend to analyze the social system of China in
a few paragraphs; and yet <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page037">[pg
037]</span><a name="Pg037" id="Pg037" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
it is necessary to the study of Sun Yat-sen that certain
characteristics be at least mentioned. Several problems appear
which are quite outstanding. What was the social position and
function of each individual? How were refractory individuals to be
disciplined in accordance with the requirements that the general
opinion of society imposed? What were the ultimate ends which the
organization of Chinese society was to realize? How were the
educational system and the frontier defenses to be maintained? What
was to be the position and power of the political organization?</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">At the outset it
is necessary that a working demarcation of the political be
established. Accepting, by definition, those coercive controls as
political which are operated for the preservation of society as a
whole, and are recognized within the society as so doing, we see
immediately that the range of the political must have been much
less in old China than it has been in the West. Western societies
tend, at least in law, to emphasize the relationship between the
individual and the society as a whole; free and unassociated
individuals tend to become extraordinarily unstable. In the old
Chinese society the control of the individual was so much an
ideological one, that political control was infinitely narrower
than in the West. But, in order to effectuate ideological control,
there must be an organization which will permit pressure to be
exercised on the individual in such a compelling manner that the
exercise of external coercion becomes unnecessary. In a society in
which the state has withered away, after an enormous expansion in
the subject-matter of its control,<a id="noteref_40" name=
"noteref_40" href="#note_40"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">40</span></span></a> the
totalitarian state is succeeded by the totalitarian <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page038">[pg 038]</span><a name="Pg038" id="Pg038"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> tradition, if—and the qualification is
an important one—the indoctrination has been so effective that the
ideology can maintain itself in the minds of men without the
continuing coercive power of the state to uphold it. If the
ideology is secure, then control of the individual will devolve
upon those persons making up his immediate social environment,
who—in view of the uniform and secure notions of right and justice
prevailing—can be relied upon to attend to him in a manner which
will be approved by the society in general.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In China the
groups most conspicuous within the society were the family system,
the village and district, and the <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">hui</span></span> (association; league;
society, in the everyday sense of the word).</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The family was
an intricate structure. A fairly typical instance of family
organization within a specific village has been described in the
following terms: <span class="tei tei-q">“The village is occupied
by one sib, a uni-lateral kinship group, exogamous, monogamous but
polygynous, composed of a plurality of kin alignments into four
families: the natural family, the economic-family, the
religious-family, and the sib.”</span><a id="noteref_41" name=
"noteref_41" href="#note_41"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">41</span></span></a> The
natural family corresponded to the family of the West. The economic
family may have had a natural family as its core, but commonly
extended through several degrees of kinship, and may have included
from thirty to one hundred persons, who formed a single economic
unit, living and consuming collectively. The religious family was
an aggregate of economic families, of which it would be very
difficult to give any specified number as an average. It
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page039">[pg 039]</span><a name=
"Pg039" id="Pg039" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> was religious in
that it provided the organization for the proper commemoration and
reverence of ancestors, and maintained an ancestral shrine where
the proper genealogical records could be kept; the cult feature has
largely disappeared in modern times. The sib corresponded roughly
to the clan, found in some Western communities; its rôle was
determined by the immediate environment. In some cases—as
especially in the south—the sib was powerful enough to engage in
feuds; at times one or more sibs dominated whole communities; in
the greater part of China it was a loose organization, holding
meetings from time to time to unite the various local religious
families which constituted it.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Family
consciousness played its part in sustaining certain elements of the
Confucian ideology. It stressed the idea of the carnal immortality
of the human race; it oriented the individual, not only
philosophically, but socially as well. The size of each family
determined his position spatially, and family continuity fixed a
definite location in time for him. With its many-handed grasp upon
the individual, the family system held him securely in place and
prevented his aspiring to the arrogant heights of nobility or
falling to the degradation of a slavery in which he might become a
mere commodity. A Chinese surrounded by his kinsmen was shielded
against humiliations inflicted upon him by outsiders or the menace
of his own potential follies. It was largely through the family
system, with its religious as well as economic and social
foundation, that the Chinese solved the problem of adequate
mobility of individuals in a society stable as a whole, and gave to
that stability a clear and undeniable purpose—the continued
generation of the human race through the continuity of a multitude
of families, each determined upon survival.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The family was
the most obviously significant of the <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page040">[pg 040]</span><a name="Pg040" id="Pg040" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> groupings within the society, but it was
equalled if not excelled in importance by the village.<a id=
"noteref_42" name="noteref_42" href="#note_42"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">42</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Had the family
been the only important social grouping, it might have been
impossible for any democracy to develop in China. It so occurred
that the family pattern provided, indeed, the model for the
government, but the importance of villages in Chinese life negated
the too sharp influence of a familistic government. It would have
been the most awful heresy, as it is in Japan today, to revolt
against and depose an unrighteous father; there was nothing to
prevent the deposition or destruction of an evil village elder. In
times of concord, the Emperor was the father of the society; at
other times, when his rule was less successful, he was a
fellow-villager subject to the criticism of the people.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The village was
the largest working unit of non-political administration; that is
to say, groups within and up to the village were almost completely
autonomous and not subject to interference, except in very rare
cases, from outside. The village was the smallest unit of the
political. The District Magistrate, as the lowest officer in the
political-educational system, was in control of a district
containing from one to twenty villages, and negotiated, in
performing the duties imposed upon him, with the village leaders.
The villages acted as self-ruling communes, at times very
democratic.<a id="noteref_43" name="noteref_43" href=
"#note_43"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">43</span></span></a></p><span class="tei tei-pb"

"tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Next in
importance, among Chinese social groups, after the family and the
village was the <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">hui</span></span>. It was in
all probability the last to appear. Neither ordained, as the family
seemed to be, by the eternal physical and biological order of
things, nor made to seem natural, as was the village, by the
geographic and economic environment, the association found its
justification in the deeply ingrained propensities of the Chinese
to coöperate. Paralleling and supplementing the former two, the
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">hui</span></span> won for itself a definite
and unchallenged place in the Chinese social structure. The kinds
of <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">hui</span></span> may be
classified into six categories:<a id="noteref_44" name="noteref_44"
href="#note_44"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">44</span></span></a> 1) the
fraternal societies; 2) insurance groups; 3) economic guilds; 4)
religious societies; 5) political societies; and 6) organizations
of militia and vigilantes. The <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">hui</span></span> made up, in their economic
form, the greater part of the economic organization of old China,
and provided the system of vocational education for persons not
destined to literature and administration. Politically, it was the
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">hui</span></span>—under such names as the
Triad and the Lotus—that provided the party organizations of old
China and challenged the dynasties whenever objectionable social or
economic conditions developed.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The old Chinese
society, made up of innumerable families, <span class="tei tei-pb"
id="page042">[pg 042]</span><a name="Pg042" id="Pg042" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> villages, and <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">hui</span></span>, comprised a whole
<span class="tei tei-q">“known world.”</span> Its strength was like
that of a dinosaur in modern fable; having no one nerve-centre, the
world-society could not be destroyed by inroads of barbarians, or
the ravages of famine, pestilence, and insurrection. The ideology
which has been called Confucian continued. At no one time were
conditions so bad as to break the many threads of Chinese culture
and to release a new generation of persons emancipated from the
tradition. Throughout the centuries education and government went
forward, even though dynasties fell and the whole country was
occasionally over-run by conquerors. The absence of any
juristically rigid organization permitted the Chinese to maintain a
certain minimum of order, even in the absence of an emperor, or, as
more commonly occurred, in the presence of several.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The governmental
superstructure cemented the whole Chinese world together in a
formal manner; it did not create it. The family, the village, and
the <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">hui</span></span> were fit
subjects for imperial comment, but there was nothing in their
organization to persuade the student that the Emperor—by virtue of
some Western-type <span lang="de" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"de"><span style="font-style: italic">Kompetenz
Kompetenz</span></span>—could remove his sanction from their
existence and thereby annihilate them. There was no precarious
legal personality behind the family, the village, and the
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">hui</span></span>, which could be destroyed by
a stroke of law. It was possible for the English kings to destroy
the Highland clan of the MacGregor—<span class="tei tei-q">“the
proscribed name”</span>—without liquidating the members of the clan
<span class="tei tei-foreign"><span style="font-style: italic">in
toto</span></span>. In China the Emperor beheld a family as a
quasi-individual, and when enraged at them was prone to wipe them
out with massacre. Only in a very few cases was it possible for him
to destroy an organization without destroying the persons composing
it; he could, for example, remove the privilege of a scholarship
system from a district, prefecture, or province without necessarily
disposing of all the scholars involved in the <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page043">[pg 043]</span><a name="Pg043" id="Pg043"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> move. The government of China—which, in
the normal run of affairs, had no questions of policy, because
policy was traditional and inviolable—continued to be an
administration dedicated to three main ends—the maintenance of the
ideology (education), the defense of the society as a whole against
barbarians (military affairs) and against the adverse forces of
nature (public works on the most extensive—and not
intensive—scale), and the collection of funds for the fulfillment
of the first two ends (revenue). The Emperor was also the titular
family head of the Chinese world.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The educational
system was identical with the administrative, except in the case of
the foreign dynasties. (Under the Manchus, for example, a certain
quota of Manchu officials were assigned throughout the government,
irrespective of their scholastic rank in contrast to the Chinese.)
It was a civil service, an educational structure, and a ritualist
organization. Selected from the people at large, scholars could—at
least in theory—proceed on the basis of sheer merit to any office
in the Empire excepting the Throne. Their advancement was graduated
on a very elaborate scale of degrees, which could be attained only
by the passing of examinations involving an almost perfect
knowledge of the literature of antiquity and the ability to think
in harmony with and reproduce that literature. The Chinese
scholar-official had to learn to do his own thinking by means of
the clichés which he could learn from the classics; he had to make
every thought and act of his life conform to the pattern of the
ideology. Resourceful men may have found in this a proper
fortification for their originality, as soon as they were able to
cloak it with the expressions of respect; mediocre persons were
helpless beyond the bounds of what they had learned.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The combination
of education and administration had one particular very stabilizing
effect upon Chinese society. <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page044">[pg 044]</span><a name="Pg044" id="Pg044" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> It made literacy and rulership identical.
Every educated man was either a government official or expected to
become one. There was no hostile scholar class, no break with the
tradition. Struggle between scholars generally took the form of
conflicts between cliques and were not founded—except in rare
instances—on any cleavage of ideas. The Throne secured its own
position and the continuity of the ideology through establishing
intellectuality as a government monopoly. The consequences of the
educational-administrative system fostered democratic tendencies
quite as much as they tended to maintain the status quo. The
scholars were all men, and Chinese, owing allegiance to families
and to native districts. In this manner a form of representation
was assured the government which kept it from losing touch with the
people, and which permitted the people to exercise influence upon
the government in the advancement of any special interests that
could profit by government assistance. The educational system also
served as the substitute for a nobility. Hereditary class
distinctions existed in China on so small a scale that they
amounted to nothing. The way to power was through the educational
hierarchy.<a id="noteref_45" name="noteref_45" href=

which offered no financial or military short cuts to power, and
which had no powerful nobility to block the way upward, the
educational system provided an upward channel of social mobility
which was highly important in the organization of the Chinese world
order.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The scholars,
once they had passed the examinations, were given either
subsistence allowances or posts, according to the rank which they
had secured in the tests. (This was, of course, the theory; in
actuality bribery and nepotism played rôles varying with the time
and the locality.) They made up the administration of the civilized
world. They were not only the officials but the literati.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It would be
impossible even to enumerate the many posts and types of
organization in the administration of imperial China.<a id=

most conspicuous features may be enumerated as follows: China
consisted of half a million cities, towns, villages, and hamlets,
each to a large extent autonomous.<a id="noteref_47" name=
"noteref_47" href="#note_47"><span class=

"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">47</span></span></a> These
were divided among, roughly, two thousand <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">hsien</span></span>, in each of which an
over-burdened District Magistrate sought to carry out all the
recognized functions of government in so far as they applied to his
locality. He did this largely by negotiation with the <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page046">[pg 046]</span><a name="Pg046" id="Pg046"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> leaders of the social groups in his
bailiwick, the heads of families, the elders of villages, the
functionaries of <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">hui</span></span>. He was
supervised by a variety of travelling prefects and superintendents,
but the next officer above him who possessed a high degree of
independence was the viceroy or governor—whichever type happened to
rule the province or group of provinces. Except for their
non-hereditability, these last offices were to all intents and
purposes satrapies. The enormous extent of the Chinese civilized
world, the difficulty of communicating with the capital, the
cumbersomeness of the administrative organization, the rivalry and
unfriendliness between the inhabitants of various provinces—all
these encouraged independence of a high degree. If Chinese society
was divided into largely autonomous communes, the Chinese political
system was made up of largely autonomous provinces. Everywhere
there was elasticity.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">At the top of
the whole structure stood the Emperor. In the mystical doctrines
which Confucianism transmitted from the animism of the feudal ages
of China, the Emperor was the intermediary between the forces of
nature and mankind. The Son of Heaven became the chief ritualist;
in more sophisticated times he was the patron of civilization to
the scholars, and the object of supernatural veneration to the
uneducated. His function was to provide a constant pattern of
propriety. He was to act as chief of the scholars. To the scholars
the ideology was recognized as an ideology, albeit the most exact
one; to the common people it was an objective reality of thought
and value. As the dictates of reason were not subject to change,
the power and the functions of the Emperor were delimited; he was
not, therefore, responsible to himself alone. He was responsible to
reason, which the people could enforce when the Emperor failed.
Popular intervention was regarded as <span lang="la" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="la"><span style="font-style: italic">de
jure</span></span> in proportion to its effectiveness <span lang=
"la" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="la"><span style=

might be called, <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page047">[pg

in Western terms, the constitutionalism of common sense.<a id=

Dragon Throne did not enjoy the mysterious and awful prestige which
surrounds the modern Tenno of Nippon; although sublime in the
Confucian theory, it was, even in the theory, at the mercy of its
subjects, who were themselves the arbiters of reason. There was no
authority higher than reason; and no reason beyond the reason
discovered and made manifest in the ages of antiquity.</p>

<span style="font-size: 144%">The Impact of the West.</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Mere physical
shock could not derange the old Chinese society as easily as it
might some other, dependent for its stability upon complex, fragile
political mechanisms. China was over-run many times by barbarians;
the continuity of its civilization was undisturbed. Each group of
conquerors added to the racial composition of the Chinese, but
contributed little to the culture. The Ch'in, the Mongols, the
Manchus—all ruled China as Chinese rulers.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This strength of
the Chinese society—in contrast to the Roman—must not, however,
lead us to suppose that there were any extraordinary virtues in the
Chinese social organization that made Chinese civilization
indestructible. On the contrary, the continued life of the Chinese
society may be ascribed, among others, to four conditions acting
definitely and overwhelmingly in its favor: China's greater
physical extent, homogeneity, wealth, and culture.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">No barbarian
conqueror, with the possible exception of the Mongol, would have
been a match for an orderly and <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page048">[pg 048]</span><a name="Pg048" id="Pg048" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> united China. Without exception, the
barbarian incursions occurred in times of social and political
disorder and weakness. That this is no freakish coincidence, may be
shown by the contrast between China and any of the peripheral
realms. None approached China in extent, in heaviness of
population. Conquest of China was always conquest by sufferance of
the Chinese.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Second, China's
neighbors were divided among themselves. There was never any
coalition extensive enough to present a genuine threat to a
thriving China. The Chinese, in spite of diversities of spoken
language, were united—so far as they were literate—by a common
writing and literature; the common ideology had, moreover, fostered
an extreme sympathy of thought and behavior among the Chinese.
Persons speaking mutually unintelligible dialects, of different
racial composition, and in completely different economic and
geographical environments displayed—and, for all that, still
display in modern times—an uncanny uniformity of social
conditioning. China faced barbarians on many fronts; China was
coördinated, homogeneous; the barbarians of North and South did
not, in all probability, know anything of each other's existence,
except what they heard from the Chinese.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Third, China's
wealth was a socially fortifying factor. In all Eastern Asia, no
other society or form of social organization appeared which could
produce a higher scale of living. The Chinese were always
materially better off than their neighbors, with the possible
exception of the Koreans and Japanese.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Fourth, Eastern
Asia was Chinese just as Europe was Graeco-Roman. The peripheral
societies all owed a great part, if not all, of their culture to
the Chinese. China's conquerors were already under the spell of
Chinese civilization when they swept down upon it. None of them
were anxious to destroy the heritage of science, arts, and
invention which the Chinese had developed.</p><span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page049">[pg 049]</span><a name="Pg049" id="Pg049"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">With these
advantages in mind, it is easy to understand the peculiarity of the
Westerners, as contrasted with the other peoples whom the Chinese
met and fought. The formidable physical power of the Chinese was,
after the first few decades of intercourse, seen to be quite
unequal to the superior military technique of the West. The
Westerners, although different from one another at home, tended to
appear as united in the Far East. In any case, Chinese unity
availed little in the face of greater military power. The economic
factor, while a great attraction to the Westerners, was no
inducement to them to become Chinese; they were willing to gain
Chinese wealth, and dreamed of conquering it, but not of making
wealth in the Chinese manner. And lastly, and most importantly, the
Westerners presented a culture of their own which—after the first
beginnings of regular intercourse—was quite well able to hold its
own against the Chinese.<a id="noteref_49" name="noteref_49" href=
"#note_49"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">49</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">To the utter
certainty of the Chinese way of life, the Westerners presented the
equally unshakable dogma of Christianity. They regarded the
Chinese—as did the Chinese them—as outlanders on the edge of the
known world. They exhibited, in short, almost the same attitude
toward the Chinese that the Chinese had toward barbarians.
Consequently, each group regarded the other as perverse. The chief
distinction between the Chinese and the Westerners lay in the fact
that the Chinese would in all probability have been satisfied if
the West had minded its own business, while the West, feverish with
expansionism, cajoled and fought for the right to come, trade, and
teach.<a id="noteref_50" name="noteref_50" href=
"#note_50"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=

id="page050">[pg 050]</span><a name="Pg050" id="Pg050" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">At times, the
two races met on agreeable and equal terms. The Jesuit missionaries
ingratiated themselves with the Chinese and, by respecting Chinese
culture, won a certain admiration for their own. The eighteenth
century in Europe was the century of <span class=
"tei tei-foreign"><span style=
"font-style: italic">chinoiserie</span></span>, when Chinese models
exercised a profound influence on the fine and domestic arts of
Europe.<a id="noteref_51" name="noteref_51" href=
"#note_51"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">51</span></span></a> The
great upsurge of economic power in the period of the European
industrial revolution led to increased self-assurance on the part
of the Europeans. The new standards of value alienated them from
those features of Chinese culture which the eighteenth century had
begun to appreciate, and placed them in a position to sell to the
Chinese as well as buy. More and more the economic position of the
two societies changed about; the Westerners had come to purchase
the superior artizan-made goods of China, giving in exchange metals
or raw materials. A tendency now developed for them to sell their
own more cheaply, and, in some cases, better manufactured products
to the Chinese. The era of good feeling and mutual appreciation,
which had never been very strong, now drew to a close.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The vassal
states of China were conquered. The British fought the Chinese on
several occasions, and conquered each time. The full extent of
Western military superiority was revealed in the capture of Peking
in 1860, and in the effectiveness—entirely disproportionate to
their numbers—that Western-trained Imperial troops had in
suppressing the Chinese T'ai-p'ing rebels.</p><span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page051">[pg 051]</span><a name="Pg051" id="Pg051"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">When Sun Yat-sen
was a boy, the country was afire with fear and uncertainty.
Barbarians who could neither be absorbed nor defeated had appeared.
Instead of adopting Chinese thought and manners, they were
vigorously teaching their own to the Chinese. The traditional
Chinese mechanisms of defense against barbarians were not
working.<a id="noteref_52" name="noteref_52" href=
"#note_52"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">52</span></span></a>
Something was vitally wrong. The Chinese could not be persuaded, as
some other non-European peoples conquered in the age of Western
world-dominion seem to have been, that all error lay with
themselves, and that their own ideology was not worth the saving;
nor could they, in face of the unfortunate facts, still believe
that they themselves were completely right, or, at least, that
their own notions of rightness were completely expedient. In view
of the pragmatic foundations of the whole Chinese ideology and way
of life, the seriousness of these consequences cannot be
over-estimated. Little wonder that China was disturbed! The
pragmatic, realistic method of organization that the Chinese had
had, no longer worked in a new environment rising, as it were, from
the sea.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The Western
impact, consequently, affected China in two ways. In the first
place, the amorphous Chinese society was threatened and dictated to
by the strong, clearly organized states of the West. In the second
place, <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page052">[pg
052]</span><a name="Pg052" id="Pg052" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
the introduction of disharmonious values from the West destroyed,
in large part, that appearance of universality, upon which the
effectiveness of the Chinese ideology depended, and shocked Chinese
thought and action until even their first premises seemed
doubtful.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This, in short,
was the dilemma of the Chinese at the advent of Sun Yat-sen. His
life was to be dedicated to its solution; it is his analyses that
are to be studied in the explanation of the Chinese society in the
modern world.</p>

<span style="font-size: 144%">The Continuing Significance of the
Background.</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Before
proceeding to the exposition of Sun Yat-sen's theories and
programs, it is necessary that a superlatively important
consideration be emphasized: namely, that Sun Yat-sen was a
Chinese, that the nation he worked for was China, and that the
intellectual and social background of his labors was one completely
different from that of the Euramerican world. A great part of the
vaporous disputation which has hidden Chinese politics in a cloud
of words has been the consequence of the ignoring, by Westernized
Chinese as well as by Westerners, of the monumental fact that China
is in only a few respects comparable to the West, and that the
ideas and methods of the West lose the greater part of their
relevance when applied to the Chinese milieu. Political
dialecticians in China split Marxian hairs as passionately and
sincerely as though they were in nineteenth-century Germany.<a id=
"noteref_53" name="noteref_53" href="#note_53"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">53</span></span></a> Sun
Yat-sen, though accused of this fantastic fault by some of
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page053">[pg 053]</span><a name=
"Pg053" id="Pg053" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> his adversaries,
was—as his theories show upon close examination—much less
influenced by Western thought than is commonly supposed to be the
case, and in applying Western doctrines to Chinese affairs was apt
to look upon this as a fortunate coincidence, instead of assuming
the universal exactness of recent Western social and political
thought.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">What are the
features of the Chinese background that must be remembered in order
to throw a just light upon the beliefs of Sun Yat-sen? Primarily,
it must have become apparent, from the foregoing discussion of
Confucianism and the old social order, that China, under the
leadership of Sun Yat-sen, was beginning to draw away from an order
of things which the West—or at least a part of the West—aspires to
achieve: a world-society in which the state had withered away. This
ideal, while never completely realized in China, was perhaps more
closely attained than it has ever been in any other society. Modern
actualities led away from this ideal. The West, dreaming of world
unity, was divided and armed; China too had to abandon the old
notions of universal peace, and arm. The West, seeking social
stability, was mobile; China too had to move.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The old society
was in its controls totalitarian. Diffuse and extensive controls
operated fairly evenly throughout the system. The West possessed a
state system which was fundamentally different. By limiting the
range of law to the reinforcement of certain particular <span lang=
"la" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="la"><span style=
"font-style: italic">mores</span></span>, the Westerners were able
to obtain a terrific concentration of political power within the
sphere of what they conceived to be legitimate state control. On
the other hand the presence of a large number of activities not
subject to state control led individuals to cherish their freedom—a
freedom which in most cases did not impair the military and
political effectiveness of the state in external
action.</p><span class="tei tei-pb" id="page054">[pg
054]</span><a name="Pg054" id="Pg054" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Since Fascism
seeks to reëstablish order and certainty, as does Communism
(although an order and certainty of a different kind), by the
extension of state activities; and since Sun Yat-sen proposed to
improve the political position of China by developing a modern
state (of narrow, but intense activities in contrast to the loose
general controls of the old society), the drift in China may be
regarded, in this respect, as Fascism in reverse. Beginning with
the same premises—the regeneration of the nation—Mussolini was led
to a course of policy diametrically opposite to that plotted by Sun
Yat-sen.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Even, however,
with his plans for developing a <span class="tei tei-q">“machine
state”</span> in a society where states had long since perished,
Sun Yat-sen did not propose to destroy Chinese morality and
non-political discipline for the sake of instituting a sharp
juristic law-and-order organization. He was anxious that the old
Chinese morality and social knowledge be applied. In this, he
differed from most of the other modern leaders of China, who were
for veneering China with a Parliament and police without delay. Sun
Yat-sen realized that a state was necessary in China, and hoped to
establish one; he also hoped that, beyond the limits of the new
state activity, individualism and disorder would not come to
prevail, but that the old controls would continue to operate.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Accordingly, Sun
Yat-sen's thought cannot be studied as a mere offshoot of recent
Western thought. It must be realized that he proposed two ends
which, of all the countries of the world, would be mutually
compatible only in China: the development of a state, and the full
continuation of non-political controls.<a id="noteref_54" name=
"noteref_54" href="#note_54"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">54</span></span></a></p><span class="tei tei-pb"
id="page055">[pg 055]</span><a name="Pg055" id="Pg055" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In fostering the
continuation of ideological control, Sun Yat-sen hoped to modify
the old ideology so that it would become applicable to the new
situations. As will be made clear later, he was redefining the old
world-view so that, without disturbing the consequences to which it
would lead, it might apply in a novel and unprecedentedly disturbed
world. He was, in short, switching the premises and trying to
preserve the conclusions, modifying the actual behavior of the
Chinese only in so far as it was necessary for the purpose of
strengthening and invigorating the whole body politic of China.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Another strain
of the ancient thought penetrates Sun Yat-sen's theories.
Ideological control was not to the Confucians, as some Marxian
critics aver,<a id="noteref_55" name="noteref_55" href=
"#note_55"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">55</span></span></a> a
rather naïve duplicity by which the gentry of China could maintain
themselves in power indefinitely. Confucius can not be accused,
save on the basis of unwarrantable reading-in, of insincerity in
his teaching of order. He was conservative, and knew what he was
doing, in seeking for the general self-discipline of men, and the
rule of precept and virtue; but to believe that he desired one
public philosophy and another private one goes beyond the realm of
historically justifiable interpretation. An ideology may, of
course, be deceptive to its promulgators, but the absence of any
genuine class-society—as known in the West—must serve as a
testimonial to the sincerity of Confucian teachings. The Confucian
ideology was to the ancients not only an instrument for good; it
was common sense.</p><span class="tei tei-pb" id="page056">[pg
056]</span><a name="Pg056" id="Pg056" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen did
not, as a Western leader in his position might have done, seek to
befuddle the masses for their own good. Since he proposed to
entrust China's destinies to the votes of the masses, he could
scarcely have believed them liable to fall victims to deceit over a
great length of time. In teaching of the race-nation, and of the
nature of Chinese society, Sun Yat-sen was telling the people what
it would be good for them to believe; it was good for them because
it was the truth—that is, most in accord with the actual situation
of China in the general society of the world.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Few today would
dare say what is really in the minds of European leaders such as
Stalin, Mussolini, and Hitler. These men may themselves believe
what they say; or, not believing it, say it nevertheless because
they think it the right thing for the masses, in the masses' own
interests, to believe. Their respective enemies accuse them of
saying what they do in order to mislead the masses and to dominate
the masses for hidden purposes of their own. No such accusation has
been levelled against Sun Yat-sen. Apart from his personal
sincerity, his belief in the qualities of the common people was
such that he did not consider it necessary to deceive them, even
for their own good.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Consequently, in
dealing with the various doctrines that Sun preached, it must be
remembered that he himself believed what he was saying. He did not
merely think that the people should regard the Chinese society as a
race-nation; he thought that China <em class=
"tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">was</span></em> a
race-nation. The modifications of the Confucian philosophy were to
be contemplated, as was the original philosophy, as pragmatically
true.<a id="noteref_56" name="noteref_56" href=

"tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">These two
factors must be reckoned with—that Sun Yat-sen was teaching and
working in the Chinese milieu, and that his ideology was an
ideology not in the older pejorative sense of the word, which
connoted duplicity, but an ideology in the sense of a scheme of
exact knowledge which, by its very truthfulness, was a political
and social instrument.</p>

Race-Nation.</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It could, at
first thought, be supposed that the reconstruction of Chinese
society might have been necessitated by internal weakness just as
much as by a changed environment. The process of organizing and
developing a tight, clear scheme of political control organizations
within the society (stateification), and delimiting the extent and
aims of the society (nationalism) were the chief characteristics of
this reconstruction.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It is only by
means of a disregard of actual conditions that the supposition of
an internal weakness so great as to require radical change can be
maintained. While the latter days of the Manchu Empire represented
a decline, it was a decline no more serious than others through
which Chinese culture had passed and resurged many times in its
history. It is still a debatable matter as to whether China had
actually become intellectually and artistically sterile during this
period. In any event, it is questionable whether the completely
revolutionary reorganization of Chinese society—of the type that
Sun Yat-sen found it necessary to support—would have been either
worth-while or probable in the absence of Euramerican aggression,
and the appearance, all about China, of a new, hostile, and
unstable environment. If it had not been for the impact of the West
it is conceivable—although all comment on this must remain mere
speculation—that a social revolution such as those which occurred
under Wang Mang (usurper-founder of the unrecognized Hsin Dynasty,
9-25 A.D.), Wang An-shih (prime minister, 1069-1076 A.D., under the
Sung dynasty), or Hung Hsiu-ch'üan (founder of the rebel T'ai P'ing
dynasty, 1849-1865), <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page059">[pg
059]</span><a name="Pg059" id="Pg059" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
might have adjusted matters by a general redistribution of wealth
and administrative reorganization.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In his earliest
agitations Sun Yat-sen was opposed to the Manchus.<a id=

"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">57</span></span></a> In
this connection he developed a peculiar and interesting theory
concerning nationalism. He held, briefly, that the Chinese had, at
the noon-day glory of their Empire, fallen under the lure of a
cosmopolitanism which was not in accord with the realities of
political existence. It was this lack of distinction between
themselves and outsiders which had permitted hundreds of millions
of Chinese to fall prey to one hundred thousand Manchus in the
early seventeenth century,<a id="noteref_58" name="noteref_58"
href="#note_58"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=

the consequence that the Manchus, once on the throne of China, made
every effort to erase their barbarian origin from the minds of the
Chinese, and, with this end in view, did everything possible, as
modern Japan is doing in Korea, to destroy the national
consciousness of the Chinese.<a id="noteref_59" name="noteref_59"

"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">59</span></span></a> China,
to Sun Yat-sen, had always been a nation, but its inhabitants did
not believe it a nation. They had lost the precious treasure of
nationalism. Without contradicting Sun Yat-sen, but differing from
him only in the use of words, Westerners might say that the Chinese
had once known nationalism as members of the antique Chinese
states, but had later formed—in the place of a nation—a
cosmopolitan society which comprehended the civilized world of
Eastern Asia.<a id="noteref_60" name="noteref_60" href=

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen did
not blame Confucius for cosmopolitanism. There is, indeed, nowhere
in his works the implication that Confucianism was an evil in
itself, deserving destruction; why then did Sun Yat-sen believe
that, even though the old ideology was not invalid for the
organization of China internally, the old world-view had broken
down as an effective instrument for the preservation of China?</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">First of all,
Sun stated, in terms more general than did the ancients, the
necessity of establishing the ideology on the basis of pragmatism.
He stated:</p>

practice, they prove useful to us or not. If they are of practical

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">He states, also,
that if the Chinese race is to survive, it must adopt nationalism.
<span class="tei tei-q">“... if we now want to save China, if we

Hitherto they had been no more conscious of race than were the
Europeans of the middle ages. To be sure, they were barbarians,
whose features were strange; but the Chinese were not conscious of
themselves as a racial unity in competition and conflict with other
equal or superior racial unities. The self-consciousness of the
Chinese was a cultural rather than a racial one, and the
juxtaposition that presented itself to the Chinese mind was between
<span class="tei tei-q">“Ourselves of the Central Realm”</span> and
<span class="tei tei-q">“You the Outsiders.”</span><a id=

"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">63</span></span></a> Sun
Yat-sen became intensely conscious of being a Chinese by
race,<a id="noteref_64" name="noteref_64" href=
"#note_64"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">64</span></span></a> and so
did many other of his compatriots, by the extraordinary race-pride
of the <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style=
"font-style: italic">White Men</span></em> in China. In common with
many others of his generation, Sun Yat-sen turned to
race-consciousness as the name for Chinese solidarity.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">There is nowhere
in his works, so far as the writer knows, any attempt to find a
value higher than the necessity of perpetuating the Chinese race.
Sun Yat-sen was a Chinese; his followers were Chinese; whatever
benefits they contemplated bestowing upon the world as a whole were
incidental to their work for a powerful and continued <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page062">[pg 062]</span><a name="Pg062" id="Pg062"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> China. At various times Sun Yat-sen and
his followers expressed sympathy with the whole world, with the
oppressed of the earth, or with all Asia, but the paramount drive
behind the new movement has been the defense and reconstruction of
China, no longer conceived of as a core-society maintaining the
flower of human civilization, but regarded as a race abruptly
plunged into the chaos of hostile and greedy nations.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Throughout his
life, Sun Yat-sen called China a nation. We may suppose that he
never thought that Chinese society need not necessarily be called a
nation, even in the modern world. What he did do, though, was to
conceive of China as a unique type of nation: a race-nation. He
stated that races could be distinguished by a study of physical
characteristics, occupation, language, religion and folkways or
customs.<a id="noteref_65" name="noteref_65" href=
"#note_65"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">65</span></span></a>
Dividing the world first into the usual old-style five primary
races (white, black, yellow, brown, and red), he divides these
races into sub-races in the narrow sense of the term. The Chinese
race, in the narrow sense of the term, is both a race and a nation.
The Anglo-Saxons are divided between England and America, the
Germans between Germany and Austria, the Latins among the
Mediterranean nations, and so forth; but China is at the same time
both the Chinese race and the Chinese nation. If the Chinese wish
their race to perpetuate itself forever, they must adopt and follow
the doctrine of Nationalism.<a id="noteref_66" name="noteref_66"
href="#note_66"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">66</span></span></a>
Otherwise China faces the tragedy of being "despoiled as a nation
and extinct as a race."<a id="noteref_67" name="noteref_67" href=

"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">67</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen felt
that China was menaced and oppressed ethnically, politically and
economically. Ethnically, he believed that the extraordinary
population increase of the <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page063">[pg 063]</span><a name="Pg063" id="Pg063" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> white race within the past few centuries
represented a trend which, if not counterbalanced, would simply
result in the Chinese race being crowded off the earth. Politically
he observed that the Chinese dependencies had been alienated by the
Western powers and Japan; that China was at the mercy of any
military nation that chose to attack; that it was a temporary
deadlock between the conquering powers rather than any strength of
China that prevented, at least for the time being, the partition of
China and that a diplomatic attack, which could break the deadlock
of the covetous states, would be even more deadly and drastic than
simple military attack.<a id="noteref_68" name="noteref_68" href=

"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">68</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It must be
remembered that Sun Yat-sen saw a nation while the majority of his
compatriots still envisioned the serene, indestructible society of
the Confucians. Others may have realized that the Western impact
was more than a frontier squabble on a grand scale; they may have
thought it to have assumed epic proportions. But Sun Yat-sen,
oppressed by his superior knowledge of the Western nations,
obtained at the cost of considerable sympathy with them, struggled
desperately to make his countrymen aware of the fact, irrefutable
to him, that China was engaged in a conflict different not only in
degree but in kind from any other in Chinese history. The Great
Central Realm had become simply China. Endangered and yet supine,
it faced the imperative necessity of complete reconstitution, with
the bitter alternative of decay and extinction—a race tragedy to be
compounded of millions of individual tragedies. And yet
reconstitution could not be of a kind that would itself be a
surrender and treason to the past; China must fit itself for the
modern <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page064">[pg
064]</span><a name="Pg064" id="Pg064" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
world, and nevertheless be China. This was the dilemma of the
Chinese world-society, suddenly become a nation. Sun Yat-sen's life
and thought were devoted to solving it.</p>

<span style="font-size: 144%">The Necessity of
Nationalism.</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">An abstract
theorist might observe that the Chinese, finding their loose-knit
but stable society surrounded by compact and aggressive nations,
might have solved the question of the perpetuation of Chinese
society in the new environment by one of two expedients: first, by
nationalizing, as it were, their non-national civilization; or
second, by launching themselves into a campaign against the system
of nations as such. The second alternative does not seem to have
occurred to Sun Yat-sen. Though he never ventured upon any complete
race-war theory, he was nevertheless anxious to maintain the
self-sufficient power of China as it had been until the advent of
the West. In his negotiations with the Communists, for example,
neither he nor they suggested—as might have been done in harmony
with communist theory—the fusion of China and the Soviet Union
under a nuclear world government. We may assume with a fair degree
of certainty that, had a suggestion been made, Sun Yat-sen would
have rejected it with mistrust if not indignation. He had spent a
great part of his life in the West. He knew, therefore, the
incalculable gulf between the civilizations, and was unwilling to
entrust the destinies of China to persons other than Chinese.<a id=

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Once the
possibility of a successful counter-attack upon the system of
nations is discounted, nationalism is seen as the sole solution to
China's difficulties. It must, however, be understood that, whereas
nationalism in the West implies an intensification of the already
definite national consciousness of the peoples, nationalism in
China might mean only as little as the introduction of such an
awareness of nationality. Nationalism in China might, as a matter
of logic, include the possibility of improved personal relations
between the Chinese and the nationals of other states since, on the
one hand, the Chinese would be relieved of an intolerable sense of
humiliation in the face of Western power, and, on the other, be
disabused of any archaic notions they might retain concerning
themselves as the sole civilized people of the earth.<a id=
"noteref_70" name="noteref_70" href="#note_70"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">70</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">A brief
historical reference may explain the apparent necessity of
nationalism in China. In the nineteenth century <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page066">[pg 066]</span><a name="Pg066" id="Pg066"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> foreigners in China generally suffered
reverses when they came into conflict with a village, a family, or
a guild. But when they met the government, they were almost always
in a position to bully it. It was commonly of little or no concern
to the people what their government did to the barbarians; the
whole affair was too remote to be much thought about. We find, for
example, that the British had no trouble in obtaining labor
auxiliaries in Canton to fight with the British troops against the
Imperial government at Peking in 1860; it is quite probable that
these Cantonese, who certainly did not think that they were
renegades, had no anti-dynastic intentions. Chinese served the
foreign enemies of China at various times as quasi-military
constabulary, and served faithfully. Before the rise of Chinese
nationalism it was not beyond possibility that China would be
partitioned into four or five colonies appurtenant to the various
great powers and that the Chinese in each separate colony, if
considerately and tactfully treated, would have become quite loyal
to their respective foreign masters. The menace of such
possibilities made the need of Chinese nationalism very real to Sun
Yat-sen; the passing of time may serve further to vindicate his
judgment.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen's
nationalism, though most vividly clear when considered as a
practical expedient of social engineering, may also be regarded
more philosophically as a derivation of, or at least having an
affinity with, certain older ideas of the Chinese. Confucian
thinking, as re-expressed in Western terms, implants in the
individual a sense of his responsibility to all humanity, united in
space and time. Confucianism stressed the solidarity of humanity,
continuous, immortal, bound together by the closest conceivable
ties—blood relationships. Sun Yat-sen's nationalism may represent a
narrowing of this conception, and the substitution of the modern
Chinese race <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page067">[pg
067]</span><a name="Pg067" id="Pg067" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
for Confucian humanity. In fairness to Sun Yat-sen it must,
however, be admitted that he liked to think, in Christian and
Confucian terms, of the brotherhood of man; one of his favorite
expressions was <span class="tei tei-q">“under heaven all men shall
work for the common good.”</span><a id="noteref_71" name=
"noteref_71" href="#note_71"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">71</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Nationalism was
to Sun Yat-sen the prime condition of his movement and of his other
principles. The Communists of the West regard every aspect of their
lives significant only in so far as it is instrumental in the class
struggle. Sun Yat-sen, meeting them, was willing to use the term
<span class="tei tei-q">“class struggle”</span> as an instrument
for Chinese nationalism. He thought of China, of the vital and
immediate necessity of defending and strengthening China, and
sacrificed everything to the effectuation of a genuine nationalism.
To him only nationalism could tighten, organize, and clarify the
Chinese social system so that China, whatever it was to be, might
not be lost.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The early
philosophers of China, looking upon a unicultural world, saw social
organization as the supreme criterion of civilization and humanity.
Sun Yat-sen, in a world of many mutually incomprehensible and
hostile cultures saw nationalism (in the sense of race solidarity)
as the supreme condition for the survival of the race-nation China.
Democracy and social welfare were necessary to the stability and
effectiveness of this nationalism, but the preservation and
continuation of the race-nation was always to remain the prime
desideratum.</p>

<span style="font-size: 144%">The Return to the Old
Morality.</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen
quite unequivocally stated the necessity for establishing a new
Nationalist ideology in order to effectuate the purposes of China's
regeneration. He spoke of the two steps of ideological
reconstitution and political reconstitution <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page068">[pg 068]</span><a name="Pg068" id="Pg068"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> as follows: <span class="tei tei-q">“In
order today to restore our national standing we must, first of all,
revive the national spirit. But in order to revive the national
spirit, we must fulfill two conditions. First, we must realize that
we are at present in a very critical situation. Second ... we must
unite ... and form a large national association.”</span><a id=
"noteref_72" name="noteref_72" href="#note_72"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">72</span></span></a> He
evidently regarded the ideological reconstitution as anterior to
the political, although he adjusted the common development of the
two quite detailedly in his doctrine of tutelage.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">He proposed
three ideological methods for the regeneration of China, which
might again make the Chinese the leading society (nation) of the
world. There were: first, the return to the ancient Chinese
morality; second, the return to the ancient Chinese learning; and
third, the adoption of Western science.<a id="noteref_73" name=
"noteref_73" href="#note_73"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">73</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen's
never-shaken belief in the applicability of the ancient Chinese
ethical system, and in the wisdom of old China in social
organization, is such that of itself it prevents his being regarded
as a mere imitator of the West, a barbarized Chinese returning to
barbarize his countrymen. His devotion to Confucianism was so great
that Richard Wilhelm, the greatest of German sinologues, wrote of
him: <span class="tei tei-q">“The greatness of Sun Yat-sen rests,
therefore, upon the fact that he has found a living synthesis
between the fundamental principles of Confucianism and the demands
of modern times, a synthesis which, beyond the borders of China,
can again become significant to all humanity. Sun Yat-sen combined
in himself the brazen consistency of a revolutionary and the great
love of humanity of a renewer. Sun Yat-sen has been the kindest of
all the revolutionaries of mankind. And this kindness <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page069">[pg 069]</span><a name="Pg069" id="Pg069"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> was taken by him from the heritage of
Confucius. Hence his intellectual work stands as a connecting
bridge between the old and the modern ages. And it will be the
salvation of China, if it determinedly treads that
bridge.”</span><a id="noteref_74" name="noteref_74" href=
"#note_74"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">74</span></span></a> And
Tai Chi-tao, one of Sun Yat-sen's most respected followers, had
said: <span class="tei tei-q">“Sun Yat-sen was the only one among
all the revolutionaries who was not an enemy to Confucius; Sun
Yat-sen himself said that his ideas embodied China, and that they
were derived from the ideas of Confucius.”</span><a id="noteref_75"
name="noteref_75" href="#note_75"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">75</span></span></a> The
invocation of authorities need not be relied upon to demonstrate
the importance of Sun Yat-sen's demand for ideological
reconstruction upon the basis of a return to the traditional
morality; he himself stated his position in his sixth lecture on
nationalism: <span class="tei tei-q">“If we now wish to restore to
our nation its former position, besides uniting all of us into a
national body, we must also first revive our own ancient morality;
when we have achieved that, we can hope to give back to our nation
the position which she once held.”</span><a id="noteref_76" name=
"noteref_76" href="#note_76"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">76</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">What are the
chief elements of the old morality? These are: 1) loyalty and
filial piety, 2) humanity and charity, 3) faithfulness and justice,
and 4) peace. These four, however, are all expressions of
<em class="tei tei-emph"><span style=
"font-style: italic">humanity</span></em>, to which <em class=
"tei tei-emph"><span style=
"font-style: italic">knowledge</span></em> <span class="tei tei-pb"
id="page070">[pg 070]</span><a name="Pg070" id="Pg070" class=

"font-style: italic">valor</span></em> must be joined, and
<em class="tei tei-emph"><span style=
"font-style: italic">sincerity</span></em> employed in expressing
them.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The problem of
loyalty was one very difficult to solve. Under the Empire it was
easy enough to consider the Emperor as the father of the great
society, and to teach loyalty to him. This was easy to grasp, even
for the simplest mind. Sun Yat-sen urged loyalty to the people, and
loyalty to duty, as successors to the loyalty once owed to the
sovereign. He deplored the tendency, which appeared in Republican
times, for the masses to assume that since there was no more
Emperor, there was no more loyalty; and it has, since the passing
of Sun Yat-sen, been one of the efforts of the Nationalists to
build up a tradition of loyalty to the spirit of Sun Yat-sen as the
timeless and undying leader of modern China.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen was
also deeply devoted to filial piety in China, which was—in the old
philosophy—simply a manifestation, in another direction, of the
same virtue as loyalty. He called filial piety indispensable, and
was proud that none of the Western nations had ever approached the
excellence of the Chinese in this virtue.<a id="noteref_77" name=
"noteref_77" href="#note_77"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">77</span></span></a> At the
time that he said this, Sun Yat-sen was accused of being a virtual
Communist, and of having succumbed to the lure of Soviet doctrines.
It is at least a little strange that a man supposedly infatuated
with Marxism should praise that most conservative of all virtues:
filial piety!</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen then
commented on each of the other virtues, pointing out their
excellence in old China, and their necessity to modern China. In
the case of faithfulness, for example, he cited the traditional
reliability of the Chinese in commercial honor. Concerning justice,
he pointed out that the Chinese political technique was one
fundamentally just; an instance of the application of this was
Korea, <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page071">[pg
071]</span><a name="Pg071" id="Pg071" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
which was-allowed to enjoy peace and autonomy as a Chinese vassal
state for centuries, and then was destroyed shortly after becoming
a Japanese protectorate. Chinese faithfulness and justice were
obviously superior to that of the Japanese.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In politics the
two most important contributions of the old morality to the
Nationalist ideology of Sun Yat-sen were (1) the doctrine of
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">wang tao</span></span>, and (2) the social
interpretation of history.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"><span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Wang tao</span></span> is the way of kings—the
way of right as opposed to <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign"
xml:lang="zh"><span style="font-style: italic">pa
tao</span></span>, the way of might. It consisted, in the old
ideology, of the course of action of the kingly man, who ruled in
harmony with nature and did not violate the established proprieties
of mankind. Sun Yat-sen's teachings afford us several applications
of <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">wang tao</span></span>. In
the first place, a group which has been formed by the forces of
nature is a race; it has been formed according to <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">wang tao</span></span>. A group which has been
organized by brute force is a state, and is formed by <span lang=

built according to <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign"

"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style="font-style: italic">pa

homogeneous race; the latter, a military outrage against the
natural order of mankind.<a id="noteref_78" name="noteref_78" href=

relation between China and her vassal states, a benevolent

development on a basis of the free play of economic forces was
regarded as <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=

"noteref_80" name="noteref_80" href="#note_80"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">80</span></span></a> This
doctrine of good and bad aspects of economic relationships stands
in distinct contrast to the Communist theory. He believed that the
political was frequently employed to bring about unjust
international economic relationships, and extenuated adverse
economic conditions simply because they were the free result of the
operations of a <span lang="fr" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"fr"><span style="font-style: italic">laissez-faire</span></span>
economy.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Economically,
the interpretation of history was, according to Sun Yat-sen, to be
performed through the study of consumption, and not of the means of
production. In this he was indebted to Maurice William—at least in
part.<a id="noteref_81" name="noteref_81" href=
"#note_81"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">81</span></span></a> The
social interpretation of history is, however, associated not only
with economic matters, but with the ancient Chinese moral system as
well. Tai Chi-tao, whose work has most clearly demonstrated the
relationship between Confucianism and Sunyatsenism, points out in
his diagram of Sun Yat-sen's ethical system that <em class=
"tei tei-emph"><span style=
"font-style: italic">humanity</span></em> (<span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">jên</span></span>) was to Sun Yat-sen the key
to the interpretation of history. We have already seen that
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">jên</span></span> is the doctrine of social
consciousness, of awareness of membership in society.<a id=
"noteref_82" name="noteref_82" href="#note_82"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">82</span></span></a> Sun
Yat-sen, according to Tai Chi-tao, regarded man's development as a
social animal, the development of his humanity, as the key to
history. This would include, of course, among other things, his
methods of production <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page073">[pg
073]</span><a name="Pg073" id="Pg073" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
and of consumption. The distinction between Sun Yat-sen and the
Western Marxian thinkers lies in the fact that the latter trace
their philosophical genealogy back through the main currents of
Western philosophy, while Sun Yat-sen derives his from Confucius.
Nothing could be further from dialectical materialism than the
socio-ethical interpretation that Sun Yat-sen developed from the
Confucian theories.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The rôle played
by the old Chinese morality in the ideology of Sun Yat-sen is, it
is apparent, an important one. First, Sun Yat-sen believed that
Chinese nationalism and the regeneration of the Chinese people had
to be based on the old morality of China, which was superior to any
other morality that the world had known, and which was among the
treasures of the Chinese people. Second, he believed that, in
practical politics as well as national ideology, the application of
the old virtues would be fruitful in bringing about the development
of a strong China. Third, he derived the idea of <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">wang tao</span></span>, the right, the royal,
the natural way, from antiquity. He pointed out that violence to
the established order—of race, as in the case of the British
Empire, of economics, as in the case of the political methods of
imperialism—was directly antithetical to the natural, peaceful way
of doing things that had led to the supreme greatness of China in
past ages. Fourth, he employed the doctrine of <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">jên</span></span>, of social-consciousness,
which had already been used, by the Confucians, and formed the
cornerstone of their teaching, as the key to his interpretation. In
regard to the individual, this was, as we have seen, consciousness
of social orientation; with regard to the group, it was the
development of strength and harmony. It has also been translated
<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">humanity</span></span>, which broadly and
ethically, carries the value scheme with which <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">jên</span></span> is connected.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Even this heavy
indebtedness to Chinese antiquity in adopting and adapting the
morality of the ancients for <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page074">[pg 074]</span><a name="Pg074" id="Pg074" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> the salvation of their children in the modern
world, was not the total of Sun Yat-sen's political traditionalism.
He also wished to renew the ancient Chinese knowledge, especially
in the fields of social and political science. Only after these did
he desire that Western technics be introduced.</p>

<span style="font-size: 144%">The Return to the Ancient
Knowledge.</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen's
doctrine of the return to the ancient Chinese knowledge may be
divided into three parts. First, he praised the ancient Chinese
superiority in the field of social science, but distinctly stressed
the necessity of Western knowledge in the field of the physical and
applied sciences alone.<a id="noteref_83" name="noteref_83" href=
"#note_83"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">83</span></span></a>
Second, he pointed out the many practical accomplishments of the
ancient Chinese knowledge, and the excellence and versatility of
Chinese invention.<a id="noteref_84" name="noteref_84" href=
"#note_84"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">84</span></span></a> Third,
his emphasis upon the development of talents in the material
sciences hints at, although it does not state, a theory of national
wealth based upon labor capacity.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen
said, <span class="tei tei-q">“Besides reviving our ancient Chinese
morality, we must also revive our wisdom and ability.... If today
we want to revive our national spirit, we must revive not only the
morality which is proper to us, but we must revive also our own
knowledge.”</span><a id="noteref_85" name="noteref_85" href=
"#note_85"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">85</span></span></a> He
goes on to say that the peculiar excellence of the ancient Chinese
knowledge lay in the field of political philosophy, and states that
the Chinese political philosophy surpassed the Western, at least in
clearness.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">He quotes
<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">The Great
Learning</span></span> for the summation, in a few words, of the
highlights of this ancient Chinese social knowledge: <span class=
"tei tei-q">“Investigate into things, attain the <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page075">[pg 075]</span><a name="Pg075" id="Pg075"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> utmost knowledge, make the thoughts
sincere, rectify the heart, cultivate the person, regulate the
family, govern the country rightly, pacify the world.”</span><a id=
"noteref_86" name="noteref_86" href="#note_86"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">86</span></span></a> This
is, as we have seen, what may be called the Confucian doctrine of
ideological control. Sun Yat-sen lavished praise upon it.
<span class="tei tei-q">“Such a theory, so detailed, minute, and
progressive, was neither discovered nor spoken of by any foreign
political philosopher. It is a peculiar intellectual treasure
pertaining to our political philosophy, which we must
preserve.”</span><a id="noteref_87" name="noteref_87" href=
"#note_87"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">87</span></span></a> The
endorsement is doubly significant. In the first place, it
demonstrates the fact that Sun Yat-sen thought of himself as a
rebuilder and not as a destroyer of the ancient Chinese culture,
and the traditional methods of organization and control. In the
second place, it points out that his Chinese background was most
clear to him, and that he was in his own mind the transmitter of
the Chinese heritage.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In speaking of
Chinese excellence in the field of the social science, Sun Yat-sen
did not confine his discussion to any one time. Whenever he
referred to a political theory, he mentioned its Chinese origin if
it were one of those known to Chinese antiquity: anarchism,
communism, democracy. He never attacked Chinese intellectual
knowledge for being what it was, but only for what it omitted:
physical science.<a id="noteref_88" name="noteref_88" href=
"#note_88"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">88</span></span></a> He was
undoubtedly more conservative than many of his contemporaries, who
were actually hostile to the inheritance.</p><span class=

class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The summary of
Sun Yat-sen's beliefs and position in respect to the ancient
intellectual knowledge is so well given by Tai Chi-tao that any
other statement would almost have to verge on paraphrase. Tai
Chi-tao wrote:</p>
<div class="block tei tei-quote" style=

<span style="font-size: 90%">Sun Yat-sen (in his teachings)
completely includes the true ideas of China as they recur again and
again from Yao and Shun, Confucius and Mencius. It will be clear to
us, therefore, that Sun Yat-sen is the renewal of Chinese moral
culture, unbroken for two thousand years ... we can see that Sun
Yat-sen was convinced of the truth of his own words, and at the
same time we can also recognize that his national revolution was
based upon the re-awakening of Chinese culture. He wanted to call
the creative power of China to life again, and to make the value of
Chinese culture useful to the whole world, and in that way to
realize cosmopolitanism.</span><a id="noteref_89" name="noteref_89"

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Accordingly, Sun
Yat-sen's doctrines may not only be regarded as having been based
upon the tacit premises of the Chinese intellectual milieu, but as
having been incorporated in them as supports. Sun Yat-sen's
theories were, therefore, consciously as well as unconsciously
Chinese.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen was
proud of the accomplishment of the Chinese in physical and applied
knowledge. He praised Chinese craftsmanship and skill, and extolled
the talents of the people which had invented the mariner's compass,
printing, porcelain, gunpowder, tea, silks, arches, and suspension
bridges.<a id="noteref_90" name="noteref_90" href=
"#note_90"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">90</span></span></a> He
urged the revival of the talents of the Chinese, and the return of
material development. This teaching, in conjunction with his
advocacy of Western knowledge, leads to another suggestive
point.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen
pointed out that <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style=
"font-style: italic">wealth</span></em> was to the modern Chinese
what <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style=
"font-style: italic">liberty</span></em> was to the Europeans of
the eighteenth century—the supreme condition of further
progress.<a id="noteref_91" name="noteref_91" href=
"#note_91"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">91</span></span></a> The
way to progress and wealth was through social reorganization, and
through the use of the capacities of the people. It may be
inferred, although it cannot be stated positively, that Sun Yat-sen
measured wealth not merely in metals or commodities, but in the
productive capacities of the country, which, as they depend upon
the labor skill of the workers, are in the last analysis cultural
and psychological rather than exclusively physical in nature.<a id=

<span style="font-size: 144%">Western Physical Science in the New
Ideology.</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The third
element of the nationalist ideology proposed by Sun Yat-sen was the
introduction of Western science. It is upon this that his break
with the past arose; it is this that gives his ideology its
partially revolutionary character, for the ideology was, as we have
seen, strongly reconstitutional in two of its elements. Sun Yat-sen
was, however, willing to tear down if he could rebuild, and rebuild
with the addition of Western science. These questions immediately
arise: why did he wish to add Western science to the intellectual
background of modern China? what, in Western science, did he wish
to add? to what degree did he wish Western science to play its rôle
in the development of a new ideology for China?</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen did
not have to teach the addition of Western science to the Chinese
ideology. In his own lifetime the terrific swing from arrogant
self-assurance to abject imitativeness had taken place. Sun Yat-sen
said that the Boxer Rebellion was the last surge of the old Chinese
nationalism, <span class="tei tei-q">“But the war of 1900 was the
last manifestation of self-confidence thoughts and self-confidence
power on the part of the Chinese to oppose the new civilization of
Europe and of America.... They understood that the civilization of
Europe and of America was really much superior to the ancient
civilization of China.”</span><a id="noteref_93" name="noteref_93"
href="#note_93"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">93</span></span></a> He
added that this superiority was naturally evident in the matter of
armaments. This illustrates both consequences of the impact of the
West—the endangered position of the Chinese society, and the
consequent instability of the Chinese ideology.</p><span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page079">[pg 079]</span><a name="Pg079" id="Pg079"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen did
not regard the introduction of Western science into Chinese life as
merely remedial in nature, but, on the contrary, saw much benefit
in it. This was especially clear to him as a physician; his
training led him to see the abominable practices of many of the
Chinese in matters of diet and hygiene.<a id="noteref_94" name=
"noteref_94" href="#note_94"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">94</span></span></a> He
made a sweeping claim of Western superiority, which is at the same
time a sharp limitation of it in fields which the conservative
European would be likely to think of as foremost—politics, ethics,
religion. <span class="tei tei-q">“Besides the matter of armaments,
the means of communication ... are far superior.... Moreover, in
everything else that relates to machinery or daily human labor, in
methods of agriculture, of industry, and of commerce, all (foreign)
methods by far surpass those of China.”</span><a id="noteref_95"
name="noteref_95" href="#note_95"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">95</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen
pointed out the fact that while manuals of warfare become obsolete
in a very few years in the West, political ideas and institutions
do not. He cited the continuance of the same pattern of government
in the United States, and the lasting authority of the <span class=
"tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Republic</span></span> of Plato, as examples
of the stagnation of the Western social sciences as contrasted with
physical sciences. Already prepossessed in favor of the Chinese
knowledge and morality in non-technical matters, he did not demand
the introduction of Western social methods as well. He had lived
long enough in the West to lose some of the West-worship that
characterized so many Chinese and Japanese of his generation. He
was willing, even anxious, that the experimental method, by itself,
be introduced into Chinese thought in all fields,<a id="noteref_96"
name="noteref_96" href="#note_96"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">96</span></span></a> but
not particularly impressed with the general superiority of Western
social thought.</p><span class="tei tei-pb" id="page080">[pg
080]</span><a name="Pg080" id="Pg080" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen's
own exposition of the reasons for his desiring to limit the rôle
played by Western science in China is quite clear.<a id=
"noteref_97" name="noteref_97" href="#note_97"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">97</span></span></a> In the
first place, Sun Yat-sen was vigorously in favor of adopting the
experimental method in attaining knowledge. He stood firmly for the
pragmatic foundation of knowledge, and for the exercise of the
greatest care and most strenuous effort in discovering it.
Secondly, he believed in taking over the physical knowledge of the
Westerners, although—in his emphasis on Chinese talent—he by no
means believed that Western physical knowledge would displace that
of the Chinese altogether. <span class="tei tei-q">“We can safely
imitate the material civilization of Europe and of America; we may
follow it blindly, and if we introduce it in China, it will make
good headway.”</span><a id="noteref_98" name="noteref_98" href=
"#note_98"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">98</span></span></a>
Thirdly, he believed that the social science of the West, and
especially its political philosophy, might lead the Chinese into
gross error, since it was derived from a quite different ideology,
and not relevant to Chinese conditions. <span class="tei tei-q">“It
would be a gross error on our part, if, disregarding our own
Chinese customs and human sentiments, we were to try to force upon
(our people) a foreign type of social government just as we copy a
foreign make of <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page081">[pg
081]</span><a name="Pg081" id="Pg081" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
machinery.”</span><a id="noteref_99" name="noteref_99" href=
"#note_99"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">99</span></span></a>
Fourthly, even apart from the difference between China and the West
which invalidated Western social science in China, he did not
believe that the West had attained to anything like the same
certainty in social science that it had in physical science.<a id=
"noteref_100" name="noteref_100" href="#note_100"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">100</span></span></a>
Fifthly, Sun Yat-sen believed that the Chinese should profit by
observing the experiments and theories of the West in regard to
social organization, without necessarily following them.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The great break
between Sun Yat-sen's acceptance of Western physical science and
his rejection of Western social science is demonstrated by his
belief that government is psychological in its foundations.
<span class="tei tei-q">“Laws of human government also constitute
an abstract piece of machinery—for that reason we speak of the
machinery of an organized government—but a material piece of
machinery is based on nature, whereas the immaterial machinery of
government is based on psychology.”</span><a id="noteref_101" name=
"noteref_101" href="#note_101"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">101</span></span></a> Sun
Yat-sen pointed out, although in different words, that government
was based upon the ideology and that the ideology of a society was
an element in the last analysis psychological, however much it
might be conditioned by the material environment.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Of these three
elements—Chinese morality, Chinese social and political knowledge,
and Western physical science—the new ideology for the modern
Chinese society <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page082">[pg
082]</span><a name="Pg082" id="Pg082" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
was to be formed. What the immediate and the ultimate forms of that
society were to be, remains to be studied.</p>

<span style="font-size: 144%">The Consequences of the Nationalist
Ideology.</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">What are the
consequences of this Nationalistic ideology? What sort of society
did Sun Yat-sen envision? How much of it was to be Chinese, and how
much Western? Were the Chinese, like some modern Japanese, to take
pride in being simultaneously the most Eastern of Eastern nations
and the most Western of Western or were they to seek to remain
fundamentally what their ancestors had been for uncounted
centuries?</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In the first
place, Sun Yat-sen's proposed ideology was, as we have seen, to be
composed of four elements. First, the essential core of the old
ideology, to which the three necessary revivifying elements were to
be added. This vast unmentioned foundation is highly significant to
the assessment of the nature of the new Chinese ideology. (It is
quite apparent that Sun Yat-sen never dreamed, as did the Russians,
of overthrowing the <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style=
"font-style: italic">entire</span></em> traditional order of
things. His three modifications were to be added to the existing
Chinese civilization.) Second, he wished to revive the old
morality. Third, he desired to restore the ancient knowledge and
skill of the Chinese to their full creative energy. Fourth, he
desired to add Western science. The full significance of this must
be realized in a consideration of Chinese nationalism. Sun Yat-sen
did not, like the Meiji Emperor, desire to add the whole front of
Western culture; he was even further from emulating the Russians in
a destruction of the existing order and the development of an
entirely new system. His energies were directed to the purification
and reconstitution of the Chinese ideology by the strengthening of
its own latent moral and intellectual values, and by the innovation
of Western <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page083">[pg
083]</span><a name="Pg083" id="Pg083" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
physical science and the experimental method. Of the range of the
ideology, of the indescribably complex intellectual conditionings
in which the many activities of the Chinese in their own
civilization were carried on, Sun Yat-sen proposed to modify only
those which could be improved by a reaction to the excellencies of
Chinese antiquity, or benefited by the influence of Western
science. Sun Yat-sen was, as Wilhelm states, both a revolutionary
and a reconstitutionary. He was reconstitutionary in the ideology
which he proposed, and a revolutionary by virtue of the political
methods which he was willing to sanction and employ in carrying the
ideology into the minds of the Chinese populace.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In the second
place, Sun Yat-sen proposed to modify the old ideology not only
with respect to content but also with regard to method of
development. The Confucians had, as we have seen, provided for the
continual modification and rectification of the ideology by means
of the doctrine of <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign"
xml:lang="zh"><span style="font-style: italic">chêng
ming</span></span>. It is a matter of dispute as to what degree
that doctrine constituted a scientific method for propagating
knowledge.<a id="noteref_102" name="noteref_102" href=
"#note_102"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">102</span></span></a>
Whatever the method of the ancients, Sun Yat-sen proposed to modify
it in three steps: the acknowledgment of the pragmatic foundations
of social ideas, the recognition of the necessity for knowledge
before action, and the introduction of the experimental method. His
pragmatic position shows no particular indication of having been
derived from any specific source; it was a common enough tendency
in old Chinese thought, from the beginning; in advocating it, Sun
Yat-sen may have been revolutionary only in his championing of an
idea which he may well have had since early childhood. His stress
upon the necessity of ideological clarity as antecedent
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page084">[pg 084]</span><a name=
"Pg084" id="Pg084" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> to revolutionary or
any other kind of action is negatively derived from Wang Yang-ming,
whose statement of the converse Sun Yat-sen was wont to attack. The
belief in the experimental method is clearly enough the result of
his Western scientific training—possibly in so direct a fashion as
the personal influence of one of his instructors, Dr. James
Cantlie, later Sir James Cantlie, of Queen's College, Hongkong. Sun
Yat-sen was a physician; his degree <em class=
"tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">Dr.</span></em> was

overlook the influence of his vocation, a Western one, in
estimating the influence of the Western experimental method.<a id=

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The overwhelming
preponderance of Chinese elements in the new ideology proposed by
Sun Yat-sen must not hide the fact that, in so stable an ideology
as that of old China, the modifications which Sun advocated were
highly significant. In method, experimentalism;<a id="noteref_104"
name="noteref_104" href="#note_104"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">104</span></span></a> in
background, the whole present body of Western science—these were to
move China deeply, albeit a China that remained <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page085">[pg 085]</span><a name="Pg085" id="Pg085"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> Chinese. There is a fundamental
difference between Sun's doctrine of ideological extension
(<span class="tei tei-q">“the need for knowledge”</span>) and
Confucius' doctrine of ideological rectification (<span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">chêng ming</span></span>). Confucius advocated
the establishment of a powerful ideology for the purpose of
extending ideological control and thereby of minimizing the then
pernicious effects of the politically active proto-nations of his
time. Sun Yat-sen, reared in a world subject to ideological
control, saw no real necessity for strengthening it; what he
desired was to prepare China psychologically for the development of
a clear-cut conscious nation and a powerful government as the
political instrument of that nation. In spite of the great Chinese
emphasis which Sun pronounced in his ideology, and in spite of his
many close associations with old Chinese thought, his governmental
principles are in a sense diametrically opposed to Confucianism.
Confucius sought to establish a totalitarian system of traditional
controls which would perpetuate society and civilization regardless
of the misadventures or inadequacies of government. Sun Yat-sen was
seeking to build a strong liberal protective state within the
framework of an immemorial society which was largely non-political;
his doctrine, which we may call totalitarianism in reverse, tended
to encourage intellectual freedom rather than any rigid ideological
coördination. The mere fact that Sun Yat-sen trusted the old
Chinese ideology to the ordeal of free criticism is, of course,
further testimony to his belief in the fundamental soundness of the
old intellectual order—an order which needed revision and
supplementation to guide modern China through the perils of its
destiny.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Before passing
to a brief consideration of the nature of the society to be
developed through this nationalist ideology, it may be interesting
to note the value-scheme in the ideology. There was but one
value—the survival of the Chinese people with their own
civilization. All <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page086">[pg
086]</span><a name="Pg086" id="Pg086" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
other considerations were secondary; all other reforms were means
and not ends. Nationalism, democracy, and <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> were each
indispensable, but none was superior to the supreme desideratum,
Chinese survival. That this survival was a vivid problem to Sun,
almost any of his lectures will testify. Tai Chi-tao, one of the
inner circle of Sun Yat-sen's disciples, summarized the spirit of
this nationalism when he wrote; <span class="tei tei-q">“We are
Chinese, and those things that we have to change first lie in
China. But if all things in China have become worthless, if Chinese
culture no longer has any significance in the cultural history of
the world, if the Chinese people has lost its power of holding its
culture high, we might as well wait for death with bound hands—what
would be the use of going on with revolution?”</span><a id=
"noteref_105" name="noteref_105" href="#note_105"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">105</span></span></a> Sun
Yat-sen made concessions to cosmopolitanism, which he saw as ideal
to be realized in the remote future. First and last, however, he
was concerned with his own people, the Chinese.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">What was to be
the nature of the society which would arise from the knowledge and
application of the new ideology? Sun planned to introduce the idea
of a race-nation into the Chinese ideology, to replace the definite
but formless we-you outlook which the Chinese of old China had had
toward outsiders almost indiscriminately.<a id="noteref_106" name=
"noteref_106" href="#note_106"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">106</span></span></a> The
old anti-barbarian sentiment had from time to time in the past been
very powerful; Sun Yat-sen called this nationalism also, not
distinguishing it from the new kind of nationalism which he
advocated—a modern nationalism <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page087">[pg 087]</span><a name="Pg087" id="Pg087" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> necessarily connoting a plurality of equal
nations. The self-consciousness of the Chinese he wished to
restore, although on a basis of justice and the mutual recognition
by the nations of each other's right to exist. But this nationalism
was not to be a complete break with the past, for the new China was
to continue the traditional function of old China—of being the
teacher and protectress of Eastern Asia. It was the duty of China
to defend the oppressed among the nations, and to smite down the
Great Powers in their oppressiveness. We may suppose that this
benevolence of the Chinese race-nation would benefit the neighbors
of China only so long as those neighbors, quickened themselves by
nationalist resurgences, did not see something sinister in the
benevolent manifest destiny of the Chinese.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It was a matter
of policy, rather than of ideology, as to what the Chinese nation
was to include. There were possibilities of a conflict with the
Communists over the question of Outer Mongolia. Physically, Sun saw
the Mongols as one of the five component peoples of the Great
Chung-hua Republic. At another time he suggested that they might
become assimilated. He never urged the Mongols to separate from
China and join the Soviet Union, or even continue as a completely
independent state.<a id="noteref_107" name="noteref_107" href=
"#note_107"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">107</span></span></a> There
was always the possibility of uncertainty in the case of persons
who were—by the five principle elements of race (according to Sun
Yat-sen, blood, livelihood, language, religion, and mores)<a id=
"noteref_108" name="noteref_108" href="#note_108"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">108</span></span></a>—members
of the Chinese race-nation but did not consider themselves
such.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Chinese
nationalism was to lead to cosmopolitanism. Any attempt to foster
cosmopolitanism before solving the <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page088">[pg 088]</span><a name="Pg088" id="Pg088" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> national problem was not only Utopian but
perverse. The weakness of the Chinese had in great part been
derived from their delusions of world-order in a world that was
greater than they imagined, and the true solution to the Chinese
question was to be found, not in any vain theory for the immediate
salvation of the world as a whole, but in the diligent and
patriotic activities of the Chinese in their own country. China was
to help the oppressed nations of the earth, not the oppressed
classes. China was to help all Asia, and especially the countries
which had depended upon China for protection, and had been failed
in their hour of need by the impotent Manchu Dynasty. China was,
indeed, to seek the coöperation of the whole world, and the
promotion of universal peace. But China was to do all this only
when she was in a position to be able to do so, and not in the
meantime venture forth on any splendid fantasies which would profit
no people.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The survival of
China was the supreme aim of Sun Yat-sen. How did he propose that
China, once conscious of itself, should control itself to survive
and go onwards to the liberation and enrichment of mankind? These
are questions that he answered in his ideology of democracy and of

World-Society.</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In describing a
few of the characteristics of the old ideology and the old society
which may assist the clarification of the principle of democracy,
it may prove useful to enter into a brief examination of what the
word may mean in the West, to refer to some of the ideas and
institutions of old China that were or were not in accord with the
Western notion of democracy, and, finally, to see what connection
Sun Yat-sen's theory of democracy may have either with the Western
term or with elements in the Chinese background. Did Sun Yat-sen
propound an entirely new theory as the foundation of his theory of
democracy for the Chinese race-nation, or did he associate several
hitherto unrelated ideas and systems to make a new whole?</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The European
word <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style=
"font-style: italic">democracy</span></em> may, for the purposes of
this examination, be taken to have two parts to its meaning; first,
with regard to the status of individuals in society; second, with
respect to the allocation of political power in society. In the
former sense, democracy may refer to an equalitarianism of status,
or to a social mobility so easy and so general as to encourage the
impression that position is a consequence of the behavior of the
individual, and a fair gauge to his merit. In the latter part of
the meaning, democracy may refer to the identification of the
governed and the governors, or to the coincidence of the actions of
the governors with the wishes of the governed. Each of these
ideas—equalitarianism, free mobility, popular government, and
representative government—has been referred to as the essence of
democracy. One of them <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page090">[pg
090]</span><a name="Pg090" id="Pg090" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
may lead to the discovery of a significance for democracy relevant
to the scheme of things in the old Chinese society.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Egalitarianism
and mobility were both present in old Chinese society. The Chinese
have had neither an hereditary aristocracy equivalent to the
Western, nor a caste-system resembling that of India or Japan,
since the breakdown of the feudal system twenty-three centuries
ago.<a id="noteref_109" name="noteref_109" href=
"#note_109"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">109</span></span></a> The
extra-legal egalitarianism of the Chinese has been so generally
remarked upon by persons familiar with that nation, that further
discussion of it here is superfluous. Birth has probably counted
less in China than it has in any other country in the world.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The
egalitarianism of intercourse was a powerful aid to social
mobility. The Chinese never pretended to economic, political, or
intellectual equality; the mere statement of such a doctrine would
have been sufficient refutation of it to the members of the old
society. Yet there were no gradations of weight beyond educational,
political, and economic distinctions, and the organization of the
old society was such that mobility in these was relatively free.
Movement of an individual either upwards or downwards in the
economic, political, or academic scale was retarded by the
influence of the family, which acted as a drag either way. Movement
was nevertheless continuous and conspicuous; a proof of this
movement is to be found in the fact that there are really no
supremely great families in China, comparable to the great names of
Japan or of the Euramerican nations. (The closest approximation to
this is the <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">K'ung</span></span> family, the family of
Confucius; since the family is large, its eminence is scarcely more
than nominal and it has no political power.).</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Mobility in
China was fostered by the political arrangements. The
educational-administrative system provided a <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page091">[pg 091]</span><a name="Pg091" id="Pg091"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> channel upwards and downwards. The
government tended, for the most part, to be the way up, while the
economic system was the way down for prominent official families.
Few families managed to remain eminent for more than a few
generations, and—with the great size of families—there was always
room at the top. If a man were not advancing himself, there was
always the possibility that a kinsman might win preferment, to the
economic and political advantage of the whole family group.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Social
relations—in the narrowest sense of the word—were characterized by
an extreme attention to form as such, and great contempt for it
otherwise. Ritualism never became a chivalry or a cult of honor.
There was always the emphasis upon propriety and courtesy but, once
the formalities were done with, there was little social distinction
between members of different economic, political, or academic
classes.<a id="noteref_110" name="noteref_110" href=
"#note_110"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">110</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In connection
with control and representation, a great deal more can be said. In
the first place, the relations between the governing ideologue in
the Confucian teachings,<a id="noteref_111" name="noteref_111"
href="#note_111"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">111</span></span></a> and
the governed accepters of the ideology in the Confucian system were
to be discovered through <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign"

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"><span lang="zh"

"font-style: italic">Yüeh</span></span>, commonly translated
<span class="tei tei-q">“music”</span> or <span class=
"tei tei-q">“harmony,”</span> plays a peculiar rôle in the
Confucian teachings. It is the mass and individual emotional
pattern, as <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">li</span></span> is the
behavior pattern. If the people follow the proper behavior pattern,
their emotional pattern must also be good. Consequently, the
function of a truly excellent ruler was the scrutiny of <span lang=
"zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">yüeh</span></span>. If he were a man of
superior penetration, he should be able to feel the <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">yüeh</span></span> about him, and thus
discover the temper of the populace, without reference to electoral
machinery or any other government instrumentality. <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Yüeh</span></span> is to be seen in the tone
of voices, in the rhythm of behavior. If it is good, it will act
with increasing effect upon itself. If bad, it serves as a warning
to the authorities. As Prof. Hsü says, <span class="tei tei-q">“For
rulers and administrators <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign"
xml:lang="zh"><span style="font-style: italic">yüeh</span></span>
has two uses; first, it enables them to ascertain the general
sentiment of the people toward the government and political life;
and second, it cultivates a type of individual attitude that is
most harmonious with the environment. The joint work of <span lang=

"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=

harmony and social happiness—which is the ultimate aim of the

phenomenon, which can scarcely be called either representation or
control. It is an idea rooted in the curiously pragmatic-mystical
world-view of the Confucians, that same world-view which elevated
virtue almost to the level of a physical substance, subject to the
same sort of laws of disruption or transmission. Nothing like
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=

political thought; however significant it may have been in China,

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This summary
could scarcely be improved upon although it represents a
considerable latitude of interpretation in the subject-matter of
the classics. The voice of the people was the voice of God. From
other political writers of antiquity—Mêng Tzŭ, Mo Ti, Han Fei Tzŭ
and the Legalists, and others—the Chinese received a variety of
political interpretations, none of which fostered the development
of autocracy as it developed in Europe.</p><span class="tei tei-pb"
id="page094">[pg 094]</span><a name="Pg094" id="Pg094" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The reason for
this is simple. In addition to the eventual popular control of
government, and the necessity for the close attention of the
government to the wishes of the people, the classical writers, for
the most part, did not emphasize the position of government. With
the increasing ideological solidarity of the Chinese world, the
increasing antiquity and authority of tradition, and the stability
of the social system, the Chinese states withered away—never
completely, but definitely more so than their analogues in the
West. There appeared, consequently, in China a form of
laissez-faire that surpassed that of Europe completely in
thoroughness. Not only were the economic functions of the state
reduced to a minimum—so was its police activity. Old China operated
with a government in reserve, as it were; a government which was
nowhere nearly so important to its subjects as Western governments
commonly are. The government system was one democratic in that it
was rooted in a society without intransigeant class lines, with a
considerable degree of social mobility for the individual, with the
total number of individuals exercising a terrific and occasionally
overwhelming pressure against the political system. And yet it was
not the governmental system upon which old China might have based
its claim to be a democracy. It could have, had it so wished,
claimed that name because of the weakness or the absence of
government, and the presence of other social organizations
permitting the individual a considerable amount of latent pressure
to exercise upon his social environment.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This arose from
the nature of the large non-political organizations which sustained
Chinese civilization even more than did the
educational-administrative authorities. It is obvious that, in
theory, a free and unassociated individual in a laissez-faire
polity would be defenseless against extra-politically organized
persons. The equities <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page095">[pg
095]</span><a name="Pg095" id="Pg095" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
of modern democracy lie largely in the development of a check and
balance system of pressure groups, affording each individual
adequate means of exercising pressure on behalf of his various
interests. It was this function—the development of a just statement
of pressure-groups—which the old Chinese world-society developed
for the sufficient representation of the individual.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">There was no
illusion of complete personal liberty. Such a notion was scarcely
thinkable. Every individual had his family, his village,
and—although this was by no means universally true—his <span lang=
"zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">hui</span></span>, whether one or, less
commonly, several. He was never left solitary and defenseless
against powerfully organized interests. No more intimate community
of interests could be discovered than that of a family, since the
community of interests there would verge on the total. Ancient
Chinese society provided the individual with mechanisms to make his
interests felt and effective, through the family, the village, and
the association.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In the West the
line of influence runs from the individual, who feels a want, to
the group which assists him in expressing it, to the government,
upon which the group exercises pressure, in order that the
government may use its power to secure what the first group wants
from some other group. The line runs, as it were, in the following
manner: individual-group-government-group. In China the group
exercised its pressure for the most part directly. The individual
need not incorporate himself in a group to secure the recognition
and fulfillment of his interests; he was by birth a member of the
group, and with the group was mobile. In a sense old Chinese
society was thoroughly democratic.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">On the basis of
such a background, Sun Yat-sen did not believe that the Chinese had
too much government, but, rather, too little. He did not cry for
liberty; he denounced its excess instead. On the basis of the old
social organization, which was fluid and yet stable, he sought to
create a <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page096">[pg
096]</span><a name="Pg096" id="Pg096" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
democracy which would pertain to the interests of the nation as a
whole, not to the interests of individuals or groups. These could
go on in the traditional manner. The qualifications implicit in Sun
Yat-sen's championship of democracy must be kept in mind, and his
acquaintance with the democratic techniques of the old society be
allowed for. Otherwise his advocacy of the recognition of
nationalist rights and his neglect or denunciation of individual
liberties might be taken for the dogma of a lover of tyranny or
dictatorship.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Old China
possessed a considerable degree of egalitarianism, of social
mobility, of popular control, and of popular participation, through
the civil service, in what little government there was. In
addition, ideological control ensured a minimum of conflicts of
interests and consequently a maximum facility for self-expression
without conflict with other individuals, groups, or society as a
whole. Finally, the protection and advancement of individuals'
rights and interests were fostered by a system of group
relationships which bound virtually every individual into a group
and left none to fall, solitary, at the mercy of others who were
organized.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Why then did Sun
Yat-sen advocate democracy? What were his justifications for it, in
a society already so democratic?</p>

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen,
realizing the inescapable necessity of nationalism, did not
immediately turn to democracy as a necessary instrument for its
promotion. He hated the Manchus on the Dragon Throne—human symbols
of China's subjugation—but at first considered replacing them with
a new Chinese dynasty. It was only after he had found the heirs of
the Ming dynasty and the descendants <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page097">[pg 097]</span><a name="Pg097" id="Pg097" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> of Confucius to be unworthy that he turned to
republicanism and found democracy, with its many virtues.<a id=
"noteref_114" name="noteref_114" href="#note_114"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">114</span></span></a> He
early became enamored of the elective system, as found in the
United States, as the only means of obtaining the best
governors.<a id="noteref_115" name="noteref_115" href=
"#note_115"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">115</span></span></a> In
the final stage he had departed so far from his earlier way of
thinking that he criticized Dr. Goodnow severely for recommending
the re-introduction of a monarchy in China.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen, as
a good nationalist, made earnest efforts to associate his doctrines
with those of the sages and to avoid appearing as a proponent of
Western civilization. It is, consequently, not unusual to discover
him citing Confucius and Mencius on <span lang="la" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="la"><span style=
"font-style: italic">vox populi vox dei</span></span>, and
saying,</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"><span class=
"tei tei-q">“The government of Yao and Shun was monarchical in name
but democratic in practice, and for that reason Confucius honored
these men.”</span><a id="noteref_116" name="noteref_116" href=
"#note_116"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=

"tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">He considered
that democracy was to the sages an <span class="tei tei-q">“ideal
that could not be immediately realized,”</span><a id="noteref_117"
name="noteref_117" href="#note_117"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">117</span></span></a> and
therefore implied that modern China, in realizing democracy, was
attaining an ideal cherished by the past. Democracy, other things
apart, was a filial duty. This argument, while persuasive in
Chinese, can scarcely be considered Sun Yat-sen's most important
one in favor of democracy.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">His most cogent
and perhaps most necessary argument was based on his conception of
national liberty as opposed to the liberty of the individual. He
delivered a spirited denunciation of those foreigners who
criticized the Chinese for being without liberty, and in the next
breath complained that the Chinese had no government, that they
were <span class="tei tei-q">“loose sand.”</span> (Another
fashionable way of expressing this idea is by saying that
<span class="tei tei-q">“China is a geographical
expression.”</span>) He said: <span class="tei tei-q">“If, for
instance, the foreigners say that China is <span class=
"tei tei-q">‘loose sand,’</span> what do they finally mean by that
expression? They mean to say that each individual is free, that
everybody is free, that each one takes the maximum of liberty, and
that, as a result, they are <span class="tei tei-q">‘loose
sand’</span>.”</span><a id="noteref_118" name="noteref_118" href=
"#note_118"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">118</span></span></a> He
pointed out that the Chinese had not suffered from the loose
autocracy in the Empire, and that they had no historical
justification for parroting the cry <span class=
"tei tei-q">“Liberty!”</span> simply because the Westerners, who
had really lacked it, had cried and fought for it. He cited John
Millar's definition of liberty, given in <span class=
"tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">The Progress of
Science Relative to Law and Government</span></span>, 1787:
<span class="tei tei-q">“True liberty consists in this: that the
liberty of each individual is limited by the non-infringement on
the liberty of others; when it invades the liberty of others, it is
no longer liberty.”</span><a id="noteref_119" name="noteref_119"
href="#note_119"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">119</span></span></a> Sun
Yat-sen had himself defined liberty as <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page099">[pg 099]</span><a name="Pg099" id="Pg099" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> follows: <span class="tei tei-q">“Liberty
consists in being able to move, in having freedom of action within
an organized group.”</span><a id="noteref_120" name="noteref_120"
href="#note_120"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">120</span></span></a>
China, disorganized, had no problem of individual liberty. There
was, as a matter of fact, too much liberty.<a id="noteref_121"
name="noteref_121" href="#note_121"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">121</span></span></a> What
the Chinese had to do was to sacrifice some of their individual
liberty for the sake of the organized nation. Here we find a
curious turn of thought of which several other examples may be
found in the <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">San Min Chu I</span></span>: Sun Yat-sen has
taken a doctrine which in the West applies to the individual, and
has applied it to the nation. He believes in liberty; but it is not
the liberty of the individual which is endangered in China. It is
the liberty of the nation—which has been lost before foreign
oppression and exploitation. Consequently he preaches national and
not individual liberty. Individual liberty must be sacrificed for
the sake of a free nation.<a id="noteref_122" name="noteref_122"
href="#note_122"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">122</span></span></a>
Without discipline there is no order; without order the nation is
weak and oppressed. The first step to China's redemption is
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min tsu</span></span>, the union (nationalism)
of the people. Then comes <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign"
xml:lang="zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min
ch'üan</span></span>, the power of the people. The liberty of the
nation is expressed through the power of the people.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">How is the power
of the people to be exercised? It is to be exercised by democratic
means. To Sun Yat-sen, the liberty of the nation and the power of
the people were virtually identical. If the Chinese race gained its
freedom, that freedom, exercised in an orderly manner, could mean
only democracy. It is this close association of nationalism
(<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min tsu</span></span>) and democracy
(<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min ch'üan</span></span>), this consideration
of democracy as the expression of nationalism, that forms, within
the framework of the <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">San Min Chu I</span></span>, what is probably
the best nationalist argument for democracy—best, that is, in being
most coherent with the Three Principles as a whole.</p><span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page100">[pg 100]</span><a name="Pg100" id="Pg100"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">If the view of
democracy just expressed be considered an exposition of the
fundamental necessity of democracy, the third argument may be
termed the dialectical or historical championship of democracy. Sun
Yat-sen believed in the existence of progress, and considered that
there was an inevitable tendency toward democracy: the overthrow of
the Manchus was a result of the <span class="tei tei-q">“... world
tide. That world current can be compared to the course of the
Yangtze or the Yellow River. The flow of the stream turns perhaps
in many directions, now toward the north, now toward the south, but
in the end flows toward the east in spite of all obstacles; nothing
can stem it. In the same way the world-tide passes ...; now it has
arrived at democracy, and there is no way to stem it.”</span><a id=
"noteref_123" name="noteref_123" href="#note_123"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">123</span></span></a> This
belief in the inevitability as well as the justice of his cause
encouraged Sun, and has lent to his movement—as his followers see
it—something of the impressive sweep that the Communists see in
their movement.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen did
not devise any elaborate scheme of dialectical materialism or
economic determinism to bolster his belief in the irreversibility
of the flow to democracy. With infinite simplicity, he presented an
exposition of democracy in space and time. In time, he saw a change
from the rule of force to theocracy, then to monarchy, and then to
democracy; this change was a part of the progress of mankind, which
to him was self-evident and inevitable.<a id="noteref_124" name=
"noteref_124" href="#note_124"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">124</span></span></a> In
space he perceived that increasingly great numbers of people threw
off monarchical rule and turned to democracy. He hailed the
breakdown of the great empires, Germany and Russia, as evidence of
the power of <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page101">[pg
101]</span><a name="Pg101" id="Pg101" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
democracy. <span class="tei tei-q">“... if we observe (things) from
all angles, we see that the world progresses daily, and we realize
that the present tide has already swept into the age of democracy;
and that no matter how great drawbacks and failures may be,
<em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">democracy
will maintain itself in the world for a long time</span></em>
(<em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">to
come</span></em>). For that reason, thirty years ago, we promoters
of the revolution, <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style=
"font-style: italic">resolved that it was impossible to speak of
the greatness of China or to carry out the revolution without
advocating democracy</span></em>.”</span><a id="noteref_125" name=
"noteref_125" href="#note_125"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">125</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">A fourth
argument in favor of democracy, and one which cannot be expanded
here, since it involves reference to Sun Yat-sen's practical plans
for the political regeneration of China, was his assertion that
democracy was an adjunct to appropriate and effective public
administration. Sun Yat-sen's plans concerning the selection of
officials in a democratic state showed that he believed the merging
of the Chinese academic-civil service technique with Western
democracy would produce a paragon among practicable
governments.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Fifthly and
finally, Sun regarded democracy as an essential modernizing
force.<a id="noteref_126" name="noteref_126" href=
"#note_126"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">126</span></span></a> In
the introduction of Western material civilization, which was always
an important consideration to his mind, he felt that a certain
ideological and political change had to accompany the economic and
technological revolution that—in part natural and in part to be
stimulated by nationalist political interference—was to
revolutionize the <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> of
China, the economic and social welfare of the Chinese people. While
this argument in favor of democracy is similar to the historical
argument, it differs from the latter in that Sun Yat-sen saw the
technique of democracy influencing not only the political, but the
economic and social, life of the people as well. The growth of
corporate responsibility, the development <span class="tei tei-pb"
id="page102">[pg 102]</span><a name="Pg102" id="Pg102" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> of a more rigid ethical system in matters of
finance, the disappearance of too strict an emphasis upon the
personal element in politics (which has clouded Chinese politics
with a fog of conspiracy and intrigue for centuries), a trust in
mathematics (as shown in reliance upon the voting technique for
ascertaining public opinion), and the development of a new kind of
individual aggressiveness and uprightness were among the changes
which, necessary if China was to compete in the modern world,
democracy might assist in effecting. While these desiderata do not
seem large when set down in the vast field of political philosophy,
they are of irritating importance in the inevitable trivalities
upon which so much of day-to-day life depends, and would
undoubtedly improve the personal tone of Sino-Western relations.
Sun never divorced the theoretical aspects of his thought from the
practical, as has been done here for purposes of exposition, and
even the tiniest details of everyday existence were the objects of
his consideration and criticism. In itself, therefore, the
modernizing force of democracy, as seen in Sun's theory, may not
amount to much; nevertheless, it must not be forgotten.<a id=
"noteref_127" name="noteref_127" href="#note_127"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">127</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Democracy,
although secondary in point of time to his theory, is of great
importance in Sun's plans for the political nature of the new
China. He justified democracy because it was (1) an obligation laid
upon modern China by the sages of antiquity; (2) a necessary
consequence of nationalism, since nationalism was the self-rule of
a free people, and democracy the effectuation of that self-rule,
and democracy the effectuation of that self-rule; (3) the
government of the modern age; China, along with the rest of the
world, was drawn by the tide of progress into the <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page103">[pg 103]</span><a name="Pg103" id="Pg103"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> age of democratic achievement; (4) the
political form best calculated for the obtaining of good
administration; and (5) a modernizing force that would stir and
change the Chinese people so as to equip them for the competitions
of the modern world.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In the lecture
in which he criticized the inadequacies of democracy as applied in
the West, Sun Yat-sen made an interesting comment on the
proletarian dictatorship which had recently been established in
Russia. <span class="tei tei-q">“Recently Russia invented another
form of government. That government is not representative; it is
<em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">absolute
popular government</span></em>. In what does that absolute popular
government really consist? As we know very little about it, we
cannot judge it aright, but we believe that this (absolute popular
government) is <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style=
"font-style: italic">evidently much better than a representative
government</span></em>.”</span><a id="noteref_128" name=
"noteref_128" href="#note_128"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">128</span></span></a> He
went on immediately to say that the Three Principles were what
China needed, and that the Chinese should not imitate the political
systems advocated in Europe and America, but should adapt democracy
in their own way. In view of his objection to a permanent class
dictatorship, as opposed to a provisional party dictatorship, and
the very enthusiastic advocacy of democracy represented by the
arguments described above, it appears unlikely in the extreme that
Sun Yat-sen, had he lived beyond 1925, would have abandoned his own
plan of democracy for China in favor of <span class=
"tei tei-q">“absolute popular government.”</span> The phrase was,
at the time, since Sun Yat-sen was seeking Russian assistance,
expedient for a popular lecture. Its importance might easily be
exaggerated.</p>

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Having in mind
the extreme peril in which the Chinese race-nation stood, its
importance in a world of Western or <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page104">[pg 104]</span><a name="Pg104" id="Pg104" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> Western-type states, and seeing nationalism
as the sole means of defending and preserving China, Sun Yat-sen
demanded that the Chinese ideology be extended by the acquisition
of knowledge. If this modernizing and, if a neologism be permitted,
stateizing process were to succeed, it must needs be fostered by a
well-prepared group of persons within the society.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In the case of
the Confucian social theory, it was the scholars who took the
ideology from the beliefs and traditions of the agrarian masses or
whole people, rectified it, and gave it back to them. This
continuous process of ideological maintenance by means of
conformity (<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">li</span></span>) and, when
found necessary, rectification (<span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">chêng ming</span></span>) was carried on by an
educational-political system based upon a non-hereditary caste of
academician-officials called <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Mandarins</span></span> by the early Western
travellers. In the case of those modern Western states which base
their power upon peculiar ideologies, the philosophy-imposing caste
has been a more or less permanent party- or class-dictatorship.
Superficially, the party-dictatorship planned by Sun Yat-sen would
seem to resemble these. His theory, however, presents two bases for
a class of ideologues: one theoretical, and presumably based upon
the Chinese; and one applied, which is either of his own invention
or derived from Western sources. The class of ideological reformers
proposed in what may be called the applied aspect of his theory was
to be organized by means of the party-dictatorship of the
Kuomintang. His other basis for finding a class of persons whose
influence over the ideology was to be paramount was more
theoretical, and deserves consideration among the more abstract
aspects of his doctrines.</p>

</div>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The harmony of
this conception with the views of Confucius is evident. Presbyter
is Priest writ large; genius is another name for scholar. Sun,
although bitterly opposed to the mandarinate of the Empire and the
pseudo-Republic, could not rid himself of the age-old Chinese idea
of a class organization on a basis of intellect rather than of
property. He could not champion a revolutionary creed based upon an
economic class-war which he did not think existed, and which he did
not wish to foster, in his own country. He continued instead the
consistent theory of an aristocracy of intellect, such as had
controlled China before his coming.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The aristocracy
of intellect is not to be judged, however, by the old criteria.
Under the old regime, a scholar-ruler was one who deferred to the
wisdom of the ancients, who was fit to perpetuate the mysteries of
the written language and culture for the benefit of future ages,
and who was <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page106">[pg
106]</span><a name="Pg106" id="Pg106" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
meanwhile qualified by his training to assume the rôle of
counsellor and authority in society. In the theory of Sun Yat-sen,
the genius leader is not the perpetuator but the discoverer. He is
the social engineer. His work is similar to that of the architect
who devises plans for a building which is to be built by workers
(the unthinking) under the guidance of foremen (the
followers).<a id="noteref_130" name="noteref_130" href=
"#note_130"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">130</span></span></a> In
this guise, the new intellectual aristocrat is a figure more akin
to the romantic Western pioneers and inventors than to the serene,
conservative scholars of China in the past.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The break with
Western thought comes in Sun's distinguishing three permanent,
natural classes of men. Though in their aptitudes the <span lang=
"zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">hsien chih hsien cho</span></span> are more
like modern engineers than like archaic literary historians, they
form a class that is inevitably the ruling class. To Marxism this
is anathema; it would imply that the Communist party is merely the
successor of the bourgeoisie in leading the unthinking masses
about—a more benevolent successor, to be sure, but still a class
distinct from the led proletariat of the intellect. To Western
democratic thought, this distinction would seem at first glance to
invalidate any future advocacy of democracy. To the student
interested in contrasting ideological control and political
government, the tripartite division of Sun Yat-sen is significant
of the redefinition in modern terms, and in an even more clear-cut
manner, of the Confucian theory of scholarly leadership.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">How were the
geniuses of the Chinese resurgence to make their knowledge useful
to the race-nation? How could democracy be recognized with the
leadership and ideological control of an intellectual class? To
what <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page107">[pg 107]</span><a name=
"Pg107" id="Pg107" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> degree would such a
reconciliation, if effected, represent a continuation, in different
terms, of the traditions and institutions of the old Chinese world?
Questions such as these arise from the fusion of the old traditions
and new necessities.</p>

science. There is an extraordinarily large number of possible
translations for each of these words.<a id="noteref_131" name=

Thus, a fairly clear idea of <span lang="zh" class=

says that, applied to the individual, it means <span class=

"tei tei-q">“right,”</span> and when applied to the exercise of
political functions, it means <span class=

"tei tei-q">“political proprietorship.”</span> <span lang="zh"

may mean <span class="tei tei-q">“competency”</span> (in the
everyday sense of the word), <span class=
"tei tei-q">“capacity”</span> or <span class="tei tei-q">“ability
to administer.”</span> Applied to the individual, the contrast is
between the ability to have political rights in a democracy, and
the ability to administer public affairs. Applied to the nation,
the contrast is between sovereignty and administration.<a id=

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Without this
contrast, the doctrine of the tripartite classification of men
might destroy all possibilities of a practical democracy. If the
Unthinking are the majority, how can democracy be trusted? This
contrast, furthermore, serves to illuminate a further problem: the
paradoxical necessity of an all-powerful government which the
people are able to control.</p><span class="tei tei-pb" id=

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">If this
distinction is accepted in the establishment of a democracy, what
will the consequences be?<a id="noteref_133" name="noteref_133"

"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">133</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In the first
place, the masses who rule will not necessarily govern. Within the
framework of a democratic constitution, they will be able to
express their wishes, and make those wishes effective; but it will
be impossible for them to interfere in the personnel of government,
whether merely administrative or in the highest positions. It will
be forever impossible that a <span class=
"tei tei-q">“swine-representative”</span> should be elected, or
that one of those transient epochs of carpet-baggery, which appear
from time to time in most Western democracies, should corrupt the
government. By means of the popular rights of initiative,
referendum, election and recall, the people will be able to control
their government in the broad sweep of policy. The government will
be beyond their reach insofar as petty political interference,
leading to inferiority or corruption, is concerned.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In the second
place, the benefits of aristocracy will be obtained without its
cost. The government will be made up of men especially fit and
trained to govern. There will, hence, be no difficulty in
permitting the government to become extraordinarily powerful in
contrast with Western governments. Since the masses will be able to
choose between a wide selection of able leaders, the democracy will
be safeguarded.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen
regarded this as one of the cardinal points in his doctrines. In
retaining the old Chinese idea of a scholar class and
simultaneously admitting Western elective and other democratic
techniques, he believed that he <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page109">[pg 109]</span><a name="Pg109" id="Pg109" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> had found a scheme which surpassed all
others. He saw the people as stockholders in a company, and the
administrators as directors; he saw the people as the owner of an
automobile, and the administrators as the chauffeur.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">A further
consequence of this difference between the right of voting and the
right of being voted for, but one to which Sun Yat-sen did not
refer, necessarily arises from his postulation of a class of
geniuses leading their followers, who control the unthinking
masses. That is the continuity which such a group of ideological
controllers would impart to a democracy. Sun Yat-sen, addressing
Chinese, took the Chinese world for granted. A Westerner, unmindful
of the background, might well overlook some comparatively simple
points. The old system, under which the Empire was a sort of
educational system, was a familiar feature in the politics which
Sun Yat-sen criticized. In arguing for the political acceptance of
inequality and the guarantee of government by a select group, Sun
was continuing the old idea of leadership, modifying it only so far
as to make it consistent with democracy. Under the system he
proposed, the two great defects of democracy, untrustworthiness and
lack of continuity of policy, would be largely eliminated.</p>

<span style="font-size: 144%">The Democratic Machine
State.</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Throughout
pre-modern Chinese thought there runs the idea of personal behavior
and personal controls. The Chinese could not hypostatize in the
manner of the West. Looking at men they saw men and nothing more.
Considering the problems and difficulties which men encountered,
they sought solutions in terms of men and the conditioning
intimacies of each individual's life. The Confucian Prince was not
so much an administrator as a moral leader; his influence,
extending itself through imitation on the part of others, was
personal and social rather than <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page110">[pg 110]</span><a name="Pg110" id="Pg110" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> political.<a id="noteref_134" name=
"noteref_134" href="#note_134"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">134</span></span></a> In
succeeding ages, the scholars thought of themselves as the leaven
of virtue in society. They stressed deportment and sought, only too
frequently by means of petty formalities, to impress their own
excellence and pre-eminence upon the people. Rarely, if ever, did
the scholar-official appeal to formal political law. He was more
likely to invoke propriety and proceed to exercise his authority
theoretically in accordance with it.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen did
not feel that further appeal to the intellectual leaders was
necessary. In an environment still dominated by the past, an
exhortation for the traditional personal aspect of leadership would
probably have appeared as a centuries-old triteness. The far-seeing
men, the geniuses that Sun saw in all society, owed their
superiority not to artificial inequality but to natural
inequality;<a id="noteref_135" name="noteref_135" href=
"#note_135"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">135</span></span></a> by
their ability they were outstanding. Laws and customs could outrage
this natural inequality, or conceal it behind a legal facade of
artificial inequality or equally artificial equality. Laws and
customs do not change the facts. The superior man was innately the
superior man.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Nevertheless,
the geniuses of the Chinese revolution could not rely upon the
loose and personal system of influence hitherto trusted. To
organize Chinese nationalism, to give it direction as well as
force, the power of the people must be run through a machine—the
State.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">A distinction
must be made here. The term <span class=
"tei tei-q">“machine,”</span> applied to government, was itself a
neologism introduced from the Japanese.<a id="noteref_136" name=
"noteref_136" href="#note_136"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">136</span></span></a> Not
only was the word but the thing itself was alien to the Chinese,
since the same term (<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign"
xml:lang="zh"><span style="font-style: italic">ch'i</span></span>)
meant machinery, tool, or instrument. The introduction of the view
of the state as a machine does not imply that <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page111">[pg 111]</span><a name="Pg111" id="Pg111"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> Sun Yat-sen wished to introduce a
specific form of Western state-machine into China—as will be later
explained (in the pages which concern themselves with the applied
political science of Sun Yat-sen).</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun was careful,
moreover, to explain that his analogy between industrial machinery
and political machinery was merely an analogy. He said,
<span class="tei tei-q">“The machinery of the government is
entirely composed of human beings. All its motions are brought
about by men and not by material objects. Therefore, there is a
very great difference between the machinery of the government and
the manufacturing machine ... the machinery of the government is
moved by human agency whereas the manufacturing machine is set in
motion by material forces.”</span><a id="noteref_137" name=
"noteref_137" href="#note_137"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">137</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Even after
allowance has been made for the fact that Sun Yat-sen did not
desire to import Western governmental machinery, nor even to stress
the machine and state analogy too far, it still remains
extraordinarily significant that he should have impressed upon his
followers the necessity of what may be called a mechanical rather
than an organic type of government. The administrative machine of
the Ch'ing dynasty, insofar as it was a machine at all, was a
chaotic mass of political authorities melting vaguely into the
social system. Sun's desire to have a clear-cut machine of
government, while not of supreme <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page112">[pg 112]</span><a name="Pg112" id="Pg112" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> importance in his ideological projects, was
of great significance in his practical proposal. In his theory the
state machine bears the same resemblance to the old government that
the Chinese race-nation bears to the now somewhat ambiguous
civilized humanity of the Confucians. In both instances he was
seeking sharper and more distinct lines of demarcation.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In putting forth
his proposals for the reconstitution of the Chinese government he
was thinking, in speaking of a state-machine, of the more or less
clearly understood juristic states of the West.<a id="noteref_138"
name="noteref_138" href="#note_138"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">138</span></span></a> His
concrete proposals dealing with the minutiae of administrative
organization, his emphasis on constitution and law, and his
interest in the exact allocation of control all testify to his
complete acceptance of a sharply delimited state. On the other
hand, he was extraordinary for his time in demanding an unusual
extent, both qualitative and quantitative, of power for the state
which he wished to hammer out on the forges of the nationalist
social and political revolution.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In summarizing
this description of the instrument with which Sun Yat-sen hoped to
organize the intellectual leaders of China so as to implement the
force of the revolution, it may be said that it was to be a
state-machine, as opposed to a totalitarian state, based upon
Western juristic theory in general but organized out of the
materials of old Chinese political philosophy and the Imperial
experience in government.<a id="noteref_139" name="noteref_139"
href="#note_139"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">139</span></span></a> The
state machine was to be <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page113">[pg
113]</span><a name="Pg113" id="Pg113" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
built along lines which Sun Yat-sen laid out in some detail. Yet,
even with his elaborate plans already prepared, and in the midst of
a revolution, he pointed out the difficulty of political
experimentation, in the following words:</p>
<div class="block tei tei-quote" style=
"margin-bottom: 1.80em; margin-left: 3.60em; margin-top: 1.80em; margin-right: 3.60em">
<span style="font-size: 90%">... the progress of human machinery,
as government organizations and the like, has been very slow. What
is the reason? It is that once a manufacturing machine has been
constructed, it can easily be tested, and after it has been tried
out, it can easily be put aside if it is not good, and if it is not
perfect, it can easily be perfected. But it is very difficult to
try out a human machine and more difficult still to perfect it
after it has been tried out. It is impossible to perfect it without
bringing about a revolution. The only other way would be to regard
it as a useless material machine which can easily be turned into
scrap iron. But this is not workable.</span><a id="noteref_140"

<span style="font-size: 144%">Democratic-Political Versus
Ideological Control.</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen
accepted an organization of society based upon intellectual
differences, despite his belief in the justifiability and necessity
of formal democracy, and his reconciliation of the two at first
contradictory theses in a plan for a machine state to be based upon
a distinction between <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign"
xml:lang="zh"><span style="font-style: italic">ch'üan</span></span>
and <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">nêng</span></span>. It may
now be asked, why did Sun Yat-sen, familiar with the old method of
ideological control, and himself proposing a new ideology which
would not only restore internal harmony but also put China into
harmony with the actual political condition of the world, desire to
add formal popular control to ideological control?</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The answer is
not difficult, although it must be based for the most part on
inference rather than on direct citation of Sun Yat-sen's own
words. In the consideration of the system of ideological control
fostered by the Confucians, <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page114">[pg 114]</span><a name="Pg114" id="Pg114" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> ideological control presented two distinct
aspects: the formation of the ideology by men, and control of men
by the ideology. The ideology controlled men; some men sought to
control the ideology; the whole ideological control system was
based upon the continuous interaction of cause and effect, wherein
tradition influenced the men who sought to use the system as a
means of mastery, while the same men succeeded in a greater or less
degree in directing the development of the ideology.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In the old
Chinese world-society the control of the ideology was normally
vested in the <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">literati</span></span> who were either
government officials or hoped to become such. The populace,
however, acting in conformity with the ideology, could overthrow
the government, and, to that extent, consciously control the
content and the development of the ideology. Moreover, as the
efficacy of an ideology depends upon its greater acceptance, the
populace had the last word in control of the ideology both
consciously and unconsciously. Politics, however, rarely comes to
the last word. In the normal and ordinary conduct of social
affairs, the populace was willing to let the <span class=
"tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">literati</span></span> uphold the classics and
modify their teachings in accordance with the development of the
ideology—in the name of <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign"
xml:lang="zh"><span style="font-style: italic">chêng
ming</span></span>. The old ideology was so skilfully put together
out of traditional elements that are indissociable from the main
traits of Chinese culture, together with the revisions made by
Confucius and his successors, that it was well-nigh
unchallengeable. The whole Confucian method of government was
based, as previously stated, on the control of men through the
control of their ideas by men—and these latter men, the ideologues,
were the scholar administrators of successive dynasties. The
identification of the <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">literati</span></span> and officials, the
respect in which learning was held, the general distribution of a
leaven of scholars through all the families of the Empire, and the
completeness—almost <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page115">[pg
115]</span><a name="Pg115" id="Pg115" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
incredible to a Westerner—of traditional orthodoxy, permitted the
interpreters of the tradition also to mould and transform it to a
considerable degree. As a means of adjusting the mores through the
course of centuries, interpretation succeeded in gradually changing
popular ideas, where open and revolutionary heterodoxy would have
failed.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Now, in modern
times, even though men might still remain largely under the control
of the ideology (learn to behave rightly instead of being
governed), the ideology was necessarily weakened in two ways: by
the appearance of men who were recalcitrant to the ideology, and by
the emergence of conceptions and ideas which could not find a place
in the ideology, and which consequently opened up extra-ideological
fields of individual behavior. In other words, <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">li</span></span> was no longer all-inclusive,
either as to men or as to realms of thought. Its control had never,
of course, been complete, for in that case all institutions of
government would have become superfluous in China and would have
vanished; but its deficiencies in past ages had never been so
great; either with reference to insubordinate individuals or in
regard to unassimilable ideas, as they were in modern times.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Hence the
province of government had to be greatly extended. The control of
men by the ideology was incomplete wherever the foreign culture had
really struck the Chinese—as, for instance, in the case of the
newly-developed Chinese proletariat, which could not follow the
Confucian precepts in the slums of twentieth-century industry. The
family system, the village, and the guild were to the Chinese
proletarians mere shadows of a past; they were faced individually
with the problems of a foreign social life suddenly interjected
into that of the Chinese. True instances of the interpenetration of
opposites, they were Chinese from the still existing old society of
China <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page116">[pg 116]</span><a name=
"Pg116" id="Pg116" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> suddenly transposed
into an industrial world in which the old ideology was of little
relevance. If they were to remain Chinese they had to be brought
again into the fold of the Chinese ideology; and, meanwhile,
instead of being controlled ideologically, they must be controlled
by the sharp, clear action of government possessing a monopoly of
the power of coercion. The proletarians were not, indeed, the only
group of Chinese over whom the old ideology had lost control. There
were the overseas Chinese, the new Chinese finance-capitalists, and
others who had adjusted their personal lives to the Western world.
These had done so incompletely, and needed the action of government
to shield them not only from themselves and from one another, but
from their precarious position in their relations with the
Westerners.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Other groups had
not completely fallen away from the ideology, but had found major
sections of it to be unsuitable to the regulation of their own
lives. Virtue could not be found in a family system which was
slowly losing its polygynous character and also slowly giving place
to a sort of social atomism; the intervention of the machine state
was required to serve as a substitute for ideological regulation
until such a time as the new ideology should have developed
sufficiently to restore relevance to traditions.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Indeed,
throughout all China, there were few people who were not touched to
a greater or less degree by the consequences of the collision of
the two intellectual worlds, the nationalistic West and the old
Chinese world-society. However much Chinese might desire to
continue in their traditional modes of behavior, it was impossible
for them to live happy and progressive lives by virtue of having
memorized the classics and paid respect to the precepts of
tradition, as had their forefathers. In all cases where the old
ideas failed, state and law suddenly acquired <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page117">[pg 117]</span><a name="Pg117" id="Pg117"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> a new importance—almost overwhelming to
some Chinese—as the establishers of the new order of life. Even
etiquette was established by decree, in the days of the
parliamentary Republic at Peking; the age-old assurance of Chinese
dress and manners was suddenly swept away, and the government found
itself forced to decree frock-coats.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Successive
governments in the new China had fallen, not because they did too
much, but because they did too little. The sphere of state activity
had become enormous in contrast to what it had been under more than
a score of dynasties, and the state had perforce to intervene in
almost every walk of life, and every detail of behavior. Yet this
intervention, although imperative, was met by the age-old Chinese
contempt for government, by the determined adherence to traditional
methods of control in the face of situations to which now they were
no longer relevant. It was this paradox, the ever-broadening
necessity of state activity in the face of traditional and
unrealistic opposition to state activity, which caused a great part
of the turmoil in the new China. Officials made concessions to the
necessity for state action by drafting elaborate codes on almost
every subject, and then, turning about, also made concessions to
the traditional non-political habits of their countrymen by failing
to enforce the codes which they had just promulgated. The leaders
of the Republic, and their followers in the provinces, found
themselves with laws which could not possibly be introduced in a
nation unaccustomed to law and especially unaccustomed to law
dealing with life in a Western way; thus baffled, but perhaps not
disappointed, the pseudo-republican government officials were
content with developing a shadow state, a shadow body of law, and
then ignoring it except as a tool in the vast pandemonium of the
tuchunates—where state and law were valued only in <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page118">[pg 118]</span><a name="Pg118" id="Pg118"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> so far as they served to aggrandize or
enrich military rulers and their hangers-on.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This tragic
dilemma led Sun Yat-sen to call for a new kind of state, a state
which was to be democratic and yet to lead back to ideological
control. The emergency of imperialism and internal impotence made
it imperative that the state limit its activities to those
provinces of human behavior in which it could actually effectuate
its decrees, and that, after having so limited the field of its
action, it be well-nigh authoritarian within that field. Yet
throughout the whole scheme, Sun Yat-sen's deep faith in the common
people required him to demand that the state be democratic in
principle and practice.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It may begin to
be apparent that, at least for Sun Yat-sen, the control of the
race-nation by the ideology was not inconsistent with the political
control of the race-nation by itself. In the interval between the
old certainty and the new, political authority had to prevail. This
authority was to be directed by the people but actually wielded by
the geniuses of the revolution. The new ideology was to emerge from
the progress of knowledge not, as before, among a special class of
literary persons, but through all the people. It was to be an
ideology based on practical experience and on the experimental
method, and consequently, perhaps, less certain then the old
Confucian ideology, which was in its foundations religious. To fill
in the gaps where uniformity of thought and behavior, on the basis
of truth, had not been established, the state was to act, and the
state had to be responsible to the people.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">At this point it
may be remembered that Sun Yat-sen was among the very few Chinese
leaders of his day who could give the historians of the future any
valid reasons for supposing that they believed in republican
principles. Too many of the militarists and scholar-politicians of
the <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page119">[pg 119]</span><a name=
"Pg119" id="Pg119" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> North and South paid
a half-contemptuous lip-service to the republic, primarily because
they could not agree as to which one of them should have the Dragon
Throne, or, at the least, the honor of restoring the Manchu
Emperor—who stayed on in the Forbidden City until 1924.<a id=
"noteref_141" name="noteref_141" href="#note_141"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">141</span></span></a> Sun
Yat-sen had a deep faith in the judgment and trustworthiness of the
uncounted swarms of coolies and farmers whom most Chinese leaders
ignored. He was perhaps the only man of his day really loved by the
illiterate classes that knew of him, and was always faithful to
their love. Other leaders, both Chinese and Western, have praised
the masses but refused to trust them for their own good. Sun's
implicit belief in the political abilities of the common people in
all matters which their knowledge equipped them to judge, was
little short of ludicrous to many of his contemporaries, and
positively irritating to some persons who wished him well
personally but did not—at least privately—follow all of his
ideas.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">To return to the
consideration of the parts played by ideology and popular
government in social control: there was another point of great
difference between the old ideology and the new. The old was the
creation, largely, of a special class of scholars, who for that
purpose ranked highest in the social hierarchy of old China. Now
even though the three natural classes might continue to be
recognized in China, the higher standard of living and the
increased literacy of the populace was to enlarge the number of
persons participating in the life of ideas. The people were to form
the ideology in part, and in part control the government under
whose control the revolutionary geniuses were to form the rest of
the ideology, <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page120">[pg
120]</span><a name="Pg120" id="Pg120" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
and propagate it through a national educational program. In all
respects the eventual control was to rest with the people of the
Chinese race-nation, united, self-ruling, and determined to
survive.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">How, then, does
the pattern of <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=

into the larger scheme of the continuation of Confucian
civilization and ideological control? First, the old was to
continue undisturbed where it might. Second, those persons
completely lost to the discipline of the old ideology must be
controlled by the state. Third, those areas of behavior which were
disturbed by the Western impact required state guidance. Fourth,
the machine state was to control both these fields, of men, and of
ideas, and within this limited field was to be authoritarian
(<span class="tei tei-q">“an all-powerful state”</span>) and yet
democratic (<span class="tei tei-q">“nevertheless subject to the
control of the people”</span>). Fifth, the ideology was to arise in
part from the general body of the people. Sixth, the other parts of
it were to be developed by the intellectuals, assisted by the
government, which was to be also under the control of the people.
Seventh, since the world was generally in an unstable condition,
and since many wrongs remained to be righted, it was not
immediately probable that the Chinese would settle down to
ideological serenity and certainty, and consequently State policy
would still remain as a governmental question, to be decided by the
will of the whole race-nation.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">To recapitulate,
then the people was to rule itself until the reappearance of
perfect tranquility—<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign"
xml:lang="zh"><span style="font-style: italic">ta
t'ung</span></span>—or its nearest mundane equivalent. The
government was to serve as a canalization of the power of the
Chinese race-nation in fighting against the oppressor-nations of
the world for survival.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The last

in a world of armed states. But these two would remain ineffectual
in a starved and backward country, if they were not supplemented by
a third principle designed to relieve the physical impotence of the
nation, to promote the material happiness of its individual members
and to guarantee the continued survival of the Chinese society as a
whole. Union and self-rule could be frustrated by starvation. China
needed not only to become united and free as a nation; it had also
to become physically healthy and wealthy. This was to be effected

disputed. Sun Yat-sen made his greatest break with the old ideology
in promulgating this last element in his triune doctrine; the
original Chinese term carried little meaning that could be used in
an approach to the new meaning that Sun Yat-sen gave it. He himself
stated that the two words had become rather meaningless in their
old usage, and that he intended to use them with reference to
special conditions in the modern world.<a id="noteref_142" name=

then went on to state the principle in terms so broad, so seemingly
contradictory, that at times it appears possible for each man to
read in it what he will, as he may in the Bible. The Communists and
the Catholics each approve of the third principle, but translate it
differently; the liberals render it by a term which is not only
innocuous but colorless.<a id="noteref_143" name="noteref_143"

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">There are two
methods by means of which the principle of <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=

might be described on the basis of the various definitions which
Sun Yat-sen gave it in his four lectures and in other speeches and
papers, and outlined, point by point, by means of the various
functions and limits that he set for it. This would also permit
some consideration of the relation of <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> to various other
theories of political economy. The other approach may be a less
academic one, but perhaps not altogether unprofitable. By means of
a reconsideration of the first two principles, and of the structure
and meaning of the three principles as a whole, it is possible to
surmise, if not to establish, the meaning of <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>, that is, to discover
it through a sort of political triangulation: the first two
principles being given, to what third principle do they lead?</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This latter
method may be taken first, since it will afford a general view of
the three principles which will permit the orientation of
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=

nationalist ideology as a whole, and prepare the student for a

and its equally necessary self-rule, both as a nation <span class=

class="tei tei-anchor"></a> the physical conditions of the country,
although, as a matter of application, they would be ineffectual in
a country which did not have the adequate means of self-support.
Sun Yat-sen was interested in seeing the Chinese people and Chinese
civilization survive, and by survival he meant not only the
continuation of social organization and moral and intellectual
excellence, but, more than these, the actual continued existence of
the great bulk of the population. The most vital problem was that
of the continued existence of the Chinese as a people, which was
threatened by the constant expansion of the West and might
conceivably share the fate of the American Indians—a remnant of a
once great race living on the charity of their conquerors. Sun
Yat-sen expressly recognized this problem as the supreme one,
requiring immediate attention.<a id="noteref_144" name=

Nationalism and democracy would have no effect if the race did not
survive to practise them.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The old Chinese
society may be conceived as a vast system of living men, who
survived by eating and breeding, and who were connected with one
another in time by the proper attention to the ancestral cults, and
in space by a common consciousness of themselves as the
standard-bearers of the civilization of the world. Sun Yat-sen,
although a Christian, was not unmindful of this outlook; he too was
sensible of the meaning of the living race through the centuries.
He dutifully informed the Emperor T'ai Tsung of Ming that the
Manchus had been driven from the throne, and some years later he
expressed the deepest reverence for the ancestral cult.<a id=

"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">145</span></span></a> But
in facing the emergency with which his race was confronted, Sun
Yat-sen could not overlook the practical question of physical
survival.</p><span class="tei tei-pb" id="page125">[pg
125]</span><a name="Pg125" id="Pg125" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">He was,
therefore, materialistic in so far as his recognition of the
importance of the material well-being of the race-nation made him
so. At this point he may be found sympathetic with the Marxians,
though his ideology as a whole is profoundly Chinese. The
destitution, the economic weakness, the slow progress of his native
land were a torture to his conscience. In a world of the most
grinding poverty, where war, pestilence, and famine made even mere
existence uncertain, he could not possibly overlook the problem of
the adequate material care of the vast populace that constituted
the race-nation.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"><span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Min shêng</span></span>, accordingly, meant
primarily the survival of the race-nation, as nationalism was its
awakening, and democracy its self-control. No one of these could be
effective without the two others. In the fundamentals of Sun
Yat-sen's ideology, the necessity for survival and prosperity is
superlative and self-evident. All other features of the doctrine
are, as it were, optional. The first two principles definitely
required a third that would give them a body of persons upon which
to operate; they did not necessarily require that the third
principle advance any specific doctrine. If this be the case, it is
evident that the question of the content of <span lang="zh" class=

secondary to the first premises of the <span class=

with the economic order of the old society? Was he interested in a

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">He was

knew the small farm life of South China intimately. On the basis of
this first-hand knowledge, and his many years of association with

injustices in the old system of Chinese economy, no one can deny,
but these injustices were scarcely sufficient to provoke, of
themselves alone, the complete alteration of economic outlook that
Sun Yat-sen proposed. Chinese capitalism had not reached the state
of industrial capitalism until after its contact with the West; at
the most it was a primitive sort of usury-capitalism practised by
the three economically dominant groups of old China—landholders,
officials, and merchant-usurers.<a id="noteref_151" name=

greater disturbances, had involved China in a vicious cycle of
decline which could scarcely be blamed on any one feature or any
one group in the old economy. The essential fault lay with the
condition of the country as a whole, directly affected by the
economic consequences of Western trade and partial
industrialization.<a id="noteref_152" name="noteref_152" href=

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen's
positive dissatisfaction with the economy of his time arose from
the position which he felt China had in the modern business world.
He believed that, by virtue of the economic oppression of the
Chinese by the Western powers, China had been degraded to the
position of the lowest nation on earth—that the Chinese were even
more unfortunate than <span class="tei tei-q">“slaves without a

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">First,
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=

leading the nationalist democracy on its road to a high position
among the nations of the earth; only through the material strength
to be found in <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=

the Chinese attain a position by which they can exert the full
force of their new-formed state against the invaders and
oppressors, and be able to lift up the populace so that democracy
will possess some actual operative meaning. <span lang="zh" class=

provides the implementation of nationalism and democracy.</p>

<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> means national
enrichment. The problem of China is primarily one of poverty. Sun
wanted consideration of the problem of the livelihood of the people
to begin with the supreme economic reality in China. What was this
reality? <span class="tei tei-q">“It is the poverty from which we
all suffer. The Chinese in general are poor; among them there is no
privileged wealthy class, but only a generality of ordinary poor
people.”</span><a id="noteref_157" name="noteref_157" href=

However this enrichment was to be brought about, it was
imperative.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Thirdly,
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>, as the doctrine of
enrichment, was also the doctrine of economic justice. If the
nation was to become economically healthy, it could only do so on
the basis of the proper distribution of property among its
citizens. Its wealth would not bring about well-being unless it
were properly distributed.</p><span class="tei tei-pb" id=

<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> may be said to be the
thesis of the indispensability of: 1) a national economic
revolution against imperialism and for democracy; 2) an industrial
revolution for the enrichment of China; and 3) a prophylactic
against social revolution.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The significance
of <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> as
the economic implementation of nationalism and democracy is clear
enough to require no further discussion. Its significance as a
doctrine for the promotion of the industrial revolution is
considerable, and worth attention.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Western science
was to sow the seed. <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign"
xml:lang="zh"><span style="font-style: italic">Min
shêng</span></span> economy was to reap the harvest. By means of
the details in Sun Yat-sen's programs which he believed sufficient
for the purposes, the modernization of China, which was to be a
consequence of Western science in the ideology, was to lead at the
same time to the actual physical enrichment of the economic goods
and services of the country. The advocacy of industrial development
is, of course, a commonplace in the Western world, but in China it
was strikingly novel. Sun Yat-sen did not regard industrialism as a
necessary evil; he considered it a positive blessing, as the means
of increasing the material welfare of the Chinese people.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Time and time
again, Sun Yat-sen emphasized the necessity of modernization. His
theory of nationalism led him to urge the introduction of Western
physical science into the ideology. His theory of democracy was
justified in part by the fact that democracy was to be regarded as
a modernizing force. Now his principle of <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> was also to lead to
that great end—the modernization of China to a degree to permit the
race-nation to regain in the modern world, which encompassed the
whole planet, the position it had once had in the smaller world of
Eastern Asia.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The wealth of
old China had been one of the factors enabling it to resist
destruction at the spear-points of its <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page130">[pg 130]</span><a name="Pg130" id="Pg130" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> barbarian conquerors. Sun Yat-sen knew this,
and knew also that the position of the United States—which had
probably the greatest concentration of social and physical wealth
and power under one political system that the world had ever
known—made that nation impregnable in the modern world. Seeing that
wealth was not only a blessing to individuals, but to nations as
well, he was anxious that his beloved China should be guarded and
assisted by the strength that the ideology of <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>, once accepted and
effectuated, could give it.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"><span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Min shêng</span></span> is more than a vague
aspiration for national welfare. The general theory of nationalism
and democracy required an additional point to make them effective
in the realities of international politics, and <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> was to supply the
hygienic and economic strength that the Chinese race-nation needed
for competition and survival; but it was to do more.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"><span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Min shêng</span></span> is at the same time
the last step of Chinese resistance and the first of Chinese
submission to Western culture. In seeking an economic policy and an
ideology which would lead to increased wealth of the nation, the
Chinese were preparing to resist the West with its own weapons.
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Min shêng</span></span> is a submission in
that it is a deliberate declaration of industrial revolution.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It is beside the
point to consider the ideological bases of the Western industrial
revolution. It was perhaps neither a voluntary nor a deliberate
process at all; no man in the first few decades of the nineteenth
century could have foretold what the end of a process of
mechanization would bring, or was likely to advocate the
intentional following of a policy which would transform the
orientation and organization of man more thoroughly than had any
previous religious, political, and economic transition. The
industrial revolution of Euramerica, when viewed from the outside,
presents the appearance of a colossal accident, whether for good or
for bad, which was but half-perceived <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page131">[pg 131]</span><a name="Pg131" id="Pg131" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> by the participants in it. Even today, when
the ideology and the institutional outline of the
agrarian-handicraft past is fading swiftly away in the new
brilliance of Western machine-culture, the new certainty, the new
order have not yet appeared. The great transition works its way
beyond the knowledge or the intervention of individual men.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This was
decidedly not the case in China. Industrialism was something which
could be studied from the outside, which could be appraised, and
then acclaimed or resisted. Emperor Meiji and his Genro, with a
flash of intuition or an intellectual penetration almost
unparalleled in the political history of the world, guided Japan
into the swift current of mechanical progress; the island empire
swept ahead of Asia, abreast of the most powerful states of the
world. The Chinese court, under the resolute, but blind, guidance
of the Empress Dowager, made a few feeble gestures in favor of
modernization, but vigorously opposed any change which might
seriously modify the order of Chinese society or the position of
the Manchus. In the shadow of the foreign guns, industrialism crept
into China, along the coasts and up the banks of the navigable
rivers. One might suppose that the Chinese were in a position to
choose, deliberately, for or against industrialism. They were not;
in China, as in the West, the machine age first appeared largely as
an accident.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It is here that
the significance of Sun Yat-sen's <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> becomes apparent.
Above all other subsidiary meanings, it is a deliberate declaration
of the industrial revolution. Modernism had been an accident; Sun
Yat-sen wished to transform it into a program. What would be the
ideological consequences of such an attitude?</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In the first
place, a plan was indicated for almost every type of human
behavior. Sun Yat-sen himself drafted a <span class="tei tei-pb"
id="page132">[pg 132]</span><a name="Pg132" id="Pg132" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> preliminary scheme for a modern manufacturing
and communications system.<a id="noteref_158" name="noteref_158"
href="#note_158"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">158</span></span></a> The
road that China was to take would not be the miserable, halting
progress of industrialism, complicated by delays and wars, which
the West had known in the painful centuries of readjustment from
the medieval to modern civilization; China would not stumble
forward, but would deliberately select the swiftest and easiest way
to a sound industrialism, and then take it.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"><span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Min shêng</span></span> thus not only provides
the Chinese with a way to make their nationalism, their democracy,
and their stateification felt in the hour of their ultimate
triumph; it gives them something to do to bring about that
triumph.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">On the basis of
the outlines of the ideology and the social system that Sun Yat-sen
proposed, viewed from the perspective of the old Confucian
world-society, the reader will realize that this declaration of the
industrial revolution is the boldest of Sun Yat-sen's acts, and
that the meaning of <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign"
xml:lang="zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min
shêng</span></span> as a program of complete modernization and
reconstruction is superior to other possible meanings it may have,
in regard to theoretical national or social revolution. There is
nothing remote or philosophical about the significance of
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> when so viewed; it is
a plan to which a Lenin or a Henry Ford might subscribe with equal
fervor—although a Tagore would deplore <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page133">[pg 133]</span><a name="Pg133" id="Pg133" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> it. It is here that Sun Yat-sen appears as
the champion of the West against the traditional technological
stagnation of China. Yet just there, at the supreme point of his
Westernism, we must remember what he was fighting for: the life of
a race-nation and a civilization that was contradictory to the
West. The stability of Confucianism could not serve as a cloak for
reaction and stagnant thought. For its own good, nay, its own life,
Chinese civilization had to modernize (i. e., Westernize
economically) in order to compete in a West-ruled world. But what,
more specifically, was the socio-economic position of Sun Yat-sen?
Was he a Marxian? Was he a liberal? Was he neither?</p>

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">As previously
stated there are three parts which may be distinguished in the
ideology of the principle of <span lang="zh" class=

"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>. <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Min shêng</span></span> is, first, the
economic aspect of the national revolution—the creation of an
active race-nation of China implementing its power by, second,
technological revolution. Third, it connotes also the necessity of
a social revolution of some kind. Western commentators have been
prone to ignore the significance of <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> in the first two of
these meanings, and have concentrated on disputation concerning the
third part. The question of the right system of distribution has
become so prominent in much Western revolutionary thought that, to
many, it sums up the whole moral issue concerning what is good and
bad in society.<a id="noteref_159" name="noteref_159" href=
"#note_159"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=

are uninterested in or ignorant <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page134">[pg 134]</span><a name="Pg134" id="Pg134" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> of the great importance that the first two
aspects of <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>
possess for the Chinese mind. The third part, the application of
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> to the problems that
are in the West the cause of social revolution, and to the possible
application of social revolution to China, is important, but is by
no means the complete picture.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In attempting to
state the definitive position of Sun Yat-sen on this question
several points must be kept in mind. The first is that Sun Yat-sen,
born a Chinese of the nineteenth century, had the intellectual
orientation of a member of the world-society, and an accepter of
the Confucian ideology. Enough has been shown of the background of
his theories to demonstrate their harmony with and relevance to
society which had endured in China for centuries before the coming
of the West. The second point to be remembered is that Westerners
are prone to overlook this background and see only the Western
influences which they are in such a good position to detect. Sun
Yat-sen's mind grew and changed. His preferences in <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page135">[pg 135]</span><a name="Pg135" id="Pg135"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> Western beliefs changed frequently. A
few Westerners, seeing only this, are apt to call Sun unstable and
devoid of reason.<a id="noteref_160" name="noteref_160" href=
"#note_160"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">160</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It would,
indeed, be strange to find any Western political or ideological
leader who thought in precisely the same terms after the world war
and the Russian revolution as before. Sun Yat-sen was, like many
other receptive-minded leaders, sensitive to the new doctrines of
Wilson and Lenin as they were shouted through the world. He was,
perhaps, less affected by them than Western leaders, because his
ideology was so largely rooted in the ideology of old China.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Apart from the
winds of doctrine that blew through the world during Sun's
life-period, and the generally known Western influences to which he
was exposed,<a id="noteref_161" name="noteref_161" href=
"#note_161"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">161</span></span></a> there
were three writers whose influence has been supposed to have been
critical in the development of his thinking. These three were Henry
George, Karl Marx, and Maurice William of New York. A much greater
amount of material is needed for a detailed study of the influences
of various individual theories on Sun Yat-sen than for a general
exposition of his political doctrines as a whole. At the present
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page136">[pg 136]</span><a name=
"Pg136" id="Pg136" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> time scarcely enough
has been written to permit any really authoritative description of
the relations between the ideology of Sun Yat-sen and the thought
of these three men. It is possible, nevertheless, to trace certain
general outlines which may serve to clarify the possible influence
that was exercised on Sun, and to correct some current
misapprehensions as to the nature and extent of that influence.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen's
opposition to the <span class="tei tei-q">“unearned
increment”</span> shows the influence of the thought of Henry
George. Sun proposed an ingenious scheme for the government
confiscation of unearned increment in an economy which would
nevertheless permit private ownership of land. (Incidentally, he
terms this, in his second lecture on <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>, <span class=
"tei tei-q">“communism,”</span> which indicates a use of the word
different, in this respect at least, from the conventional Western
use.)<a id="noteref_162" name="noteref_162" href=
"#note_162"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">162</span></span></a> The
land problem was of course a very old one in China, although
accentuated in the disorders resulting from the impact of the West.
There can be little question that Sun's particular method of
solving the problem was influenced by the idea of unearned
increment.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">He knew of Henry
George in 1897, the year the latter died,<a id="noteref_163" name=
"noteref_163" href="#note_163"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">163</span></span></a> and
advocated redistribution of the land in the party oath, the
platform, and the slogans of the <span class=
"tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Tung Meng
Hui</span></span> of 1905.<a id="noteref_164" name="noteref_164"
href="#note_164"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">164</span></span></a>
Since, even at the time of the Canton-Moscow Entente, his land
policy never approached the Marxist-Leninist program of
nationalization or collectivization of land, but remained one of
redistribution <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page137">[pg
137]</span><a name="Pg137" id="Pg137" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
and confiscation of unearned increment, it is safe to say that Sun
kept the theory of George in mind, although he by no means followed
George to the latter's ultimate conclusions.<a id="noteref_165"
name="noteref_165" href="#note_165"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">165</span></span></a> It
may thus be inferred that the influence of Henry George upon the
nationalist ideology of Sun Yat-sen was slight, but permanent. An
idea was borrowed; the scheme of things was not.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen
encountered Marxism for the first recorded time in London in 1897,
when he met a group of Russian revolutionaries and also read in the
subject. The fact that Sun was exposed to Marxism proves little
except that he had had the opportunity of taking up Marxism and did
not do so.<a id="noteref_166" name="noteref_166" href=
"#note_166"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=

Again, the <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Tung Meng Hui</span></span> manifesto of 1905
may have been influenced by Marxism. It was not, however, until the
development of his <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Three Principles</span></span> that the
question of Marxian influence was raised. Sun Yat-sen made his
first speech on the <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Principles</span></span> in Brussels in the
spring of 1905.<a id="noteref_167" name="noteref_167" href=
"#note_167"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">167</span></span></a> By
1907 the three principles had taken on a clear form: nationalism,
democracy, and <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=

which the Chinese of that time seem to have translated <span class=

in Western languages.<a id="noteref_168" name="noteref_168" href=

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The most careful
Marxian critic of Sun Yat-sen, writing of the principle of
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=

planks, land reform and state capitalism, says: <span class=
"tei tei-q">“This very vague program, which does not refer to class
interests nor to the class struggle as the means of breaking
privileged class interests, was objectively not socialism at all,
but something <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page138">[pg

else altogether: Lenin coined the formula, <span class=

"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">169</span></span></a> He
adds, later: <span class="tei tei-q">“Hence Sun's socialism meant,
on the lips of the Chinese bourgeoisie, nothing but a sort of
declaration for a <span class="tei tei-q">‘social’</span> economic
policy, that is, a policy friendly to the masses.”</span><a id=
"noteref_170" name="noteref_170" href="#note_170"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">170</span></span></a> T'ang
Liang-li declares that the third principle at this time adopted
<span class="tei tei-q">“a frankly socialistic
attitude,”</span><a id="noteref_171" name="noteref_171" href=
"#note_171"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">171</span></span></a> but
implies elsewhere that its inadequacy was seen by a Chinese
Marxist, Chu Chih-hsin.<a id="noteref_172" name="noteref_172" href=
"#note_172"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">172</span></span></a> This
evidence, as far as it goes, shows that Sun Yat-sen had had the
opportunity to become acquainted with Marxism, and that even on the
occasion of the first formulation of the principle of <span lang=
"zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> he used none of its
tenets. The revolutionary critic, T'ang Liang-li, who, a devoted
and brilliant Nationalist in action, writes with a sort of European
left-liberal orientation, suggests that the Third Principle grew
with the growth of capitalist industrialism in China.<a id=
"noteref_173" name="noteref_173" href="#note_173"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">173</span></span></a> This
is true: economic maladjustment would emphasize the need for
ideological reconstruction with reference to the economy. There is
no need to resort to Marxian analysis.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">That the third
principle meant something to Sun Yat-sen is shown by the fact that
when Sung Chiao-jen, who a few years later was to become one of the
most celebrated martyrs of the revolution, suggested in the period
of the first provisional Republic at Nanking that the Third
Principle had better be omitted altogether, Sun was enraged,
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page139">[pg 139]</span><a name=
"Pg139" id="Pg139" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> and declared that if
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=

the whole revolution might as well be abandoned.<a id="noteref_174"

<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>, in its third
significance, that of the development of a socially just
distributive system, was not Marxian nor yet unimportant, it may be
contrasted once again with the communist doctrines, and then
studied for its actual content. In contrasting it with Marxism, it
might be of value to observe, first, the criticism that the
Marxians levy against it, and second, the distinctions that
nationalist and European critics make between <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Dr. Karl

only objectively but subjectively friendly to capitalism (on the
excellence of the Ford plant; on the necessity for the coöperation
of capital and labor)—on the other, the unmerciful condemnation of
capitalism; on the one hand, the declaration that there is no
capitalism in China—on the other, that capitalism must be destroyed
as it appears; on the right, the statement that communism and
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=

modifications which the Marxians have introduced into their
programs with respect to the class struggle in colonial countries
do not imply a corresponding modification of their ideology. The

universally valid despite their Western origin.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">We have seen
what Sun's chief Marxian exegete thinks of him. Now it may be worth
while to consider the actual relations of Sun's doctrines with some
of those in Marxism. In the first place, Sun Yat-sen, during his
stay in Shanghai, 1919-1922 (with interruptions), was very much
interested in Communism and friendly to the Russian people, but not
at all inclined to adopt its ideology.<a id="noteref_177" name=

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In reference to
specific points of the Communist ideology, Sun Yat-sen was indebted
to the Communists for the application of the principle of
nationalism, as a means of propaganda, as anti-imperialism,
although, as we have seen, it was fundamentally a thesis for the
readjustment of the Chinese society from the ideological basis of a
world-society over to a national state among national states.<a id=

Second, his habit of taking Western doctrines and applying them to
the Chinese nation instead of to Chinese individuals, led him to
apply nationalism to the class war of the oppressed nations against
the oppressing nations. There was no justification of
intra-national class war in the nationalist ideology of Sun
Yat-sen.<a id="noteref_179" name="noteref_179" href=

"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">jên</span></span>—was a
contradiction of the materialist interpretation of history by the
Marxians. It also contradicted the class struggle; the loyalty of
the Chinese to the race-nation was to be the supreme loyalty; it
was to develop from the <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign"
xml:lang="zh"><span style="font-style: italic">ta
chia</span></span>, the great family of all Chinese; and class
lines within it could not transcend its significance. Furthermore,
purely as a matter of economic development, Sun Yat-sen regarded
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page142">[pg 142]</span><a name=
"Pg142" id="Pg142" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> the class struggle
as <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style=
"font-style: italic">pathological</span></em> in society. He said,
<span class="tei tei-q">“Out of his studies of the social question,
Marx gained no other advantage than a knowledge of the diseases of
social evolution; he failed to see the principle of social
evolution. Hence we can say that Marx was a pathologist rather than
a physiologist of society.”</span><a id="noteref_180" name=
"noteref_180" href="#note_180"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">180</span></span></a>
Finally, he did not accept the Marxian theory of surplus value or
of the inevitable collapse of capitalism. He even spoke of
capitalism and socialism as <span class="tei tei-q">“two economic
forces of human civilization”</span> which might <span class=
"tei tei-q">“work side by side in future
civilization.”</span><a id="noteref_181" name="noteref_181" href=

"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">181</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">All in all, it
may safely be said that Sun Yat-sen's ideology, as an adjustment of
the old Chinese ideology to the modern world, was not inspired by
the Marxist; that through the greater part of his life, he was
acquainted with Marxism, and did not avail himself of the
opportunities he had for adopting it, but consistently rejected it;
and that while the Communists were of great use to him in the
formulation and implementation of his program, they affected his
ideology, either generally or with reference to <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>, imperceptibly if at
all.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This conclusion
is of significance in the estimation of the influence of Maurice
William upon the thought of Sun Yat-sen. It is, briefly, the thesis
of Dr. William that it was his own book which saved China from
Bolshevism by making an anti-Marxian out of Sun after he had fallen
prey to the Bolshevist philosophy. Dr. William writes of the
lectures on Nationalism and Democracy; <span class="tei tei-q">“In
these lectures Dr. Sun makes clear that his position is strongly
pro-Russian and pro-Marxian, that he endorses the class struggle,
repudiates Western democracy, and advocates China's coöperation
with Bolshevist Russia against capitalist <span class="tei tei-pb"
id="page143">[pg 143]</span><a name="Pg143" id="Pg143" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> nations.”</span><a id="noteref_182" name=
"noteref_182" href="#note_182"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">182</span></span></a> Dr.
William then goes on to show, quite convincingly, that Sun Yat-sen,
with very slight acknowledgments, quoted William's <span class=
"tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">The Social
Interpretation of History</span></span> almost verbatim for
paragraph after paragraph in the lectures on <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It would be
unjust and untruthful to deny the great value that William's book
had for Sun Yat-sen, who did quote it and use its arguments.<a id=
"noteref_183" name="noteref_183" href="#note_183"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">183</span></span></a> On
the other hand, it is a manifest absurdity to assume that Sun
Yat-sen, having once been a communist, suddenly reversed his
position after reading one book by an American of whom he knew
nothing. Even Dr. William writes with a tone of mild surprise when
he speaks of the terrific <span class=
"tei tei-foreign"><span style="font-style: italic">volte-face</span></span>
which he thinks Sun Yat-sen performed.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">There are two
necessary comments to be made on the question of the influence of
Maurice William. In the first place, Sun Yat-sen had never swerved
from the interpretation of history by <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">jên</span></span>, which may be interpreted as
the humane or social interpretation of history. Enough of the old
Chinese ideology has been outlined above to make clear what this
outlook was.<a id="noteref_184" name="noteref_184" href=
"#note_184"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">184</span></span></a> Sun
Yat-sen, in short, never having been a Marxian, was not converted
to the social interpretation of history as put forth by Dr.
William. He found in the latter's book, perhaps more clearly than
in any other Western work an analysis of society that coincided
with his own, which he had developed from the old Chinese
philosophy and morality as rendered by Confucius. Consequently he
said of William's rejection of the materialistic interpretation of
history, <span class="tei tei-q">“That sounds perfectly reasonable
... the greatest discovery of the American scholar <em class=
"tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">fits in
perfectly</span></em> with the (third) <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page144">[pg 144]</span><a name="Pg144" id="Pg144" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> principle of our Party.”</span><a id=
"noteref_185" name="noteref_185" href="#note_185"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">185</span></span></a> The
accomplishment of Maurice William, therefore, was a great one, but
one which has been misunderstood. He formulated a doctrine of
social evolution which tallied perfectly with Chinese ideology, and
did this without being informed on Chinese thought. He did not
change the main currents of Sun's thought, which were consistent
through the years. He did present Sun with several telling
supplementary arguments in Western economic terms, by means of
which he could reconcile his interpretation of social history not
only with Confucian <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign"
xml:lang="zh"><span style="font-style: italic">jên</span></span>
but also with modern Western economics.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The other point
to be considered in relation to Maurice William is a matter of
dates. The thesis of Maurice William, that Sun Yat-sen, after
having turned Marxian or near-Marxian, was returned to democratic
liberal thought by William's book, is based on contrast of the
first twelve lectures in the <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">San Min Chu I</span></span> and the last four
on <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>. Dr.
William believes that Sun read his book in the meantime and changed
his mind. A Chinese commentator points out that Sun Yat-sen
referred to <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">The Social Interpretation of
History</span></span> in a speech on January 21, 1924; his first
lecture on the <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">San Min Chu I</span></span> was given January
24, 1924.<a id="noteref_186" name="noteref_186" href=
"#note_186"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">186</span></span></a>
Hence, in the twelve lectures that Dr. William interprets as
Marxian, Sun Yat-sen was speaking from a background which included
not only Marxism, but <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">The Social Interpretation of
History</span></span>, as well.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Only on the
third part does the influence of the Western thinkers appear
unmistakably. Henry George gave Sun Yat-sen the idea of the
unearned increment, but Sun Yat-sen, instead of accepting the whole
body of doctrine that George put forth, simply kept this one idea,
and built a novel land-policy of his own on it. Marxism may have
influenced the verbal tone of Sun Yat-sen's lectures, but it did
not affect his ideology, although it shows a definite <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page145">[pg 145]</span><a name="Pg145" id="Pg145"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> imprint upon his programs. Maurice
William gave Sun Yat-sen a set of arguments in modern economic
terms which he attached to his ideological thesis of the
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">jên</span></span> interpretation of history,
which he based upon Confucianism. There is no evidence to show that
at any time in his life Sun Yat-sen abandoned his Chinese
ideological orientation and fell under the sway of any Western
thinker. The strong consistency in the ideology of Sun Yat-sen is a
consistency rooted in the old Chinese ideology. On minor points of
doctrine he showed the influence of the West; this influence cannot
be considered solely by itself. The present discussion of Western
influences may, by its length, imply a disproportionate emphasis of
Western thought in the political doctrines of Sun Yat-sen, but in a
work written primarily for Westerners, this may be found
excusable.</p>

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">If one were to
attempt to define the relations of the <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> ideology to the
various types of Western economic doctrines at present current,
certain misapprehensions may be eliminated at the outset. First:
Capitalism in its Western form was opposed by Sun Yat-sen;
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> was to put through the
national economic revolution of enrichment through a
deliberately-planned industrialization, but in doing so was to
prevent China from going through all the painful stages which
attended the growth of capitalism in the West. <span class=
"tei tei-q">“We want,”</span> said Sun Yat-sen, <span class=
"tei tei-q">“a preventive remedy; a remedy which will thwart the
accumulation of large private capitals and so preserve future
society from the great inconvenience of the inequality between rich
and poor.”</span><a id="noteref_187" name="noteref_187" href=
"#note_187"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">187</span></span></a> And
yet he looked forward to a society which would ultimately be
communistic, although never in its strict Marxian sense.
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page146">[pg 146]</span><a name=
"Pg146" id="Pg146" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> <span class=
"tei tei-q">“We may say that communism is the ideal of livelihood,
and that the doctrine of livelihood is the practical application of
communism; such is the difference between the doctrine of Marx and
the doctrine of the Kuomintang. In the last analysis, there is no
real difference in the principles of the two; where they differ is
in method.”</span><a id="noteref_188" name="noteref_188" href=
"#note_188"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">188</span></span></a> This
is sufficient to show that Sun Yat-sen was not an orthodox Western
apologist for capitalism; as a Chinese, it would have been hard for
him to be one, for the logically consistent capitalist ideology is
one which minimizes all human relationships excepting those
individual-contractual ones based on money bargains. The marketing
of goods and services in such a way as to disturb the traditional
forms of Chinese society would have been repugnant to Sun
Yat-sen.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Second: if Sun
Yat-sen's <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>
ideology cannot be associated with capitalism, it can as little be
affiliated with Marxism or the single-tax. What, then, in relation
to Western socio-economic thought, is it? We have seen that the
state it proposed was liberal-protective, and that the society from
which it was derived and to which it was to lead back was one of
extreme laissez-faire, bordering almost on anarchism. These
political features are enough to distinguish it from the Western
varieties of socialism, anarchism and syndicalism, since the
ingredients of these ideologies of the West and that of Sun
Yat-sen, while coincident on some points, cannot be fitted
together.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Superficially,
there is a certain resemblance between the ideology of the
<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">San Min
Chu I</span></span> and that of Fascism. The resemblances may be
found in the emphasis on the nation, the rejection of the class war
and of Marxism, the upholding of tradition, and the inclusion of a
doctrine of intellectual inequality. But Sun Yat-sen seeks to
reconcile <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page147">[pg
147]</span><a name="Pg147" id="Pg147" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
all this with democracy in a form even more republican than that of
the United States. The scheme of <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min ch'üan</span></span>, with its election,
recall, initiative and referendum, and with its definite demands of
intellectual freedom, is in contradiction to the teachings of
Fascism. His condemnation of Caesarism is unequivocal: <span class=
"tei tei-q">“Therefore, if the Chinese Revolution has not until now
been crowned with success, it is because the ambitions for the
throne have not been completely rooted out nor suppressed
altogether.”</span><a id="noteref_189" name="noteref_189" href=
"#note_189"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">189</span></span></a> With
these fundamental and irreconcilable distinctions, it is hard to
find any possibility of agreement between the <span class=
"tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">San Min Chu
I</span></span> and the Fascist ideologies, although the
transitional program of the <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">San Min Chu I</span></span>—in its advocacy of
provisional party dictatorship, etc.—has something in common with
Fascism as well as with Communism as applied in the Soviet
Union.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">A recent
well-received work on modern political thought describes a category
of Western thinkers whose ideas are much in accord with those
contained in the <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>
ideology.<a id="noteref_190" name="noteref_190" href=
"#note_190"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">190</span></span></a>
Professor Francis W. Coker of Yale, after reviewing the leading
types of socialist and liberal thought, describes a group who might
be called <span class="tei tei-q">“empirical collectivists.”</span>
The men to whom he applies this term reject socialist doctrines of
economic determinism, labor-created value, and class war. They
oppose, on the other hand, the making of a fetish of private
ownership, and recognize that the vast mass of ordinary men in
modern society do not always receive their just share of the
produce of industry. They offer no single panacea for all economic
troubles, and lay down no absolute and unchallengeable dogma
concerning the rightness or wrongness of public or private
ownership.<a id="noteref_191" name="noteref_191" href=
"#note_191"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">191</span></span></a>
Professor Coker <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page148">[pg
148]</span><a name="Pg148" id="Pg148" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
outlines their general point of view by examining their ideas with
reference to several conspicuous economic problems of the present
day: public ownership; labor legislation; regulation of prices;
taxation; and land policies.<a id="noteref_192" name="noteref_192"
href="#note_192"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">192</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">According to
Coker, the empirical collectivist is not willing to forgo the
profit motive except where necessary. He is anxious to see a great
part of the ruthlessness of private competition eliminated, and
capital generally subjected to a regulation which will prevent its
use as an instrument of harm to the community as a whole. While not
committed to public ownership of large enterprises as a matter of
theory, he has little objection to the governmental operation of
those which could, as a matter of practical expediency, be managed
by the state on a nonprofit basis.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen's
position greatly resembles this, with respect to his more immediate
objectives. Speaking of public utilities, he said to Judge
Linebarger: <span class="tei tei-q">“There are so many public
utilities needed in China at the present time, that the government
can't monopolize all of them for the advantage of the masses.
Moreover, public utilities involve risks which a government cannot
afford to take. Although the risks are comparatively small in
single cases, the entire aggregate of such risks, if assumed by the
government, would be of crushing proportions. Private initiative
and capital can best perform the public utility development of
China. We should, however, be very careful to limit the control of
these public utilities enterprises, while at the same time
encouraging private development as much as possible.”</span><a id=
"noteref_193" name="noteref_193" href="#note_193"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">193</span></span></a> Sun
had, however, already spoken of nationalization: <span class=
"tei tei-q">“I think that when I hold power <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page149">[pg 149]</span><a name="Pg149" id="Pg149"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> again, we should institute a
nationalization program through a cautious and experimental
evolution of (1) public utilities; (2) public domains; (3)
industrial combines, syndicates, and cartels; (4) coöperative
department stores and other merchandising agencies.”</span><a id=
"noteref_194" name="noteref_194" href="#note_194"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">194</span></span></a> It
must be remembered that there were two considerations back of
anything that Sun Yat-sen said concerning national ownership:
first, China had already ventured into broad national ownership of
communications and transport, even though these were in bad
condition and heavily indebted; second, there was no question of
expropriation of capital, but rather the free alternative of public
and private industry. An incidental problem that arises in
connection with the joint development of the country by public and
by private capital is the use of foreign capital. Sun Yat-sen was
opposed to imperialism, but he did not believe that the use of
foreign capital at fair rates of interest constituted submission to
imperialism. He said, in Canton, <span class="tei tei-q">“ ... we
shall certainly have to borrow foreign capital in order to develop
means of communication and transportation, and we cannot do
otherwise than have recourse to those foreigners who are men of
knowledge and of experience to manage these
industries.”</span><a id="noteref_195" name="noteref_195" href=
"#note_195"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">195</span></span></a> It
may thus be said that Sun Yat-sen had no fixed prejudice against
private capital or against foreign capital, when properly and
justly regulated, although in general he favored the ownership of
large enterprises by the state.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Second—to follow
again Professor Coker—the Western empirical collectivists favor
labor legislation, and government intervention for the protection
of the living standards of the working classes. This, while it did
not figure <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page150">[pg
150]</span><a name="Pg150" id="Pg150" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
conspicuously in the theories of Sun Yat-sen,<a id="noteref_196"
name="noteref_196" href="#note_196"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">196</span></span></a> was a
striking feature of all his practical programs.<a id="noteref_197"
name="noteref_197" href="#note_197"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">197</span></span></a> In
his address to Chinese labor, on the international Labor Day, 1924,
he urged that Chinese labor organize in order to fight for its own
cause and that of national liberation. It had nothing to fear from
Chinese capitalism, but everything from foreign imperialistic
capitalism.<a id="noteref_198" name="noteref_198" href=
"#note_198"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">198</span></span></a> Sun
did not make a special hero class out of the workers; he did,
however, advocate their organization for the purpose of getting
their just share of the national wealth, and for resistance to the
West and Japan.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Third, the
empirical collectivist tends to advocate price-control by the
state, if not over the whole range of commodities, at least in
certain designated fields. Sun was, has been stated, in favor of
the regulation of capital at all points, and of public ownership in
some. This naturally implies an approval of price-control. He more
specifically objected to undue profits by middlemen, when, in
discussing salesmen, he said: <span class="tei tei-q">“Under ideal
conditions, society does not need salesmen or any inducement to
buy. If a thing is good, and the price reasonable, it should sell
itself on its own merits without any salesmanship. This vast army
of middlemen should hence be made to remember that they should
expect no more from the nonproductive calling in which they are
engaged than any other citizen obtains through harder
labor.”</span><a id="noteref_199" name="noteref_199" href=
"#note_199"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">199</span></span></a> In
this, too, <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page151">[pg
151]</span><a name="Pg151" id="Pg151" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> coincides with
empirical collectivism; the coincidence is made easy by the
relative vagueness of the latter.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Fourth, in the
words of Mr. Coker, <span class="tei tei-q">“many collectivists
look upon taxation as a rational and practical means for reducing
extreme differences in wealth and for achieving other desired
economic changes.”</span><a id="noteref_200" name="noteref_200"
href="#note_200"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">200</span></span></a> Sun
Yat-sen agrees with this definitely; his land policy is one based
upon taxation and confiscation of the amount of the unearned
increment (which, not involving the confiscation of the land
itself, is perhaps also taxation), and proposes to apply taxes
extensively. Quite apart from the question of distributive justice,
a heavy tax burden would be necessary in a country which was being
rigorously developed.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Fifth, empirical
collectivists believe in land control, not only in the cities, but
in the open country as well, as a matter of agrarian reform. We
have seen that the land figured extensively in the ideology of
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>, and shall observe
that Sun Yat-sen, in his plans for <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>, stressed the
importance of proper control of land.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In summing up
the theory of distributive justice which forms a third part of the
principle of <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>, one
may say that, as far as any comparison between a Chinese and a
Western idea is valid, the positive social-revolutionary content of
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> coincides with the
doctrines of that group of Western politico-economic writers whom
Coker calls empirical collectivists. The correspondence between the
two may not be a mere coincidence of names, for in considering Sun
Yat-sen's <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>, one
is struck by the empirical, almost opportunistic, nature of the
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page152">[pg 152]</span><a name=
"Pg152" id="Pg152" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> theory. A great part
of the activity of the Chinese, whether material or intellectual,
has been characterized by a sort of opportunism; not necessarily an
opportunism of insincerity, it may be more aptly described as a
tendency to seek the golden mean, the reasonable in any situation.
It is this habit of compromise with circumstance, this bland and
happy disregard of absolutes in theory, which has preserved—with
rare exceptions—the Chinese social mind from the torment of any
really bitter and profound religious conflict, and which may, in
these troubled times, keep even the most irreconcilable enemies
from becoming insane with intolerance. This fashion of muddling
through, of adhering to certain traditional general rules of
reasonableness, while rendering lip-service to the doctrines of the
moment, has been the despair of many Western students of China,
who, embittered at the end, accuse the Chinese of complete
insincerity. They do not realize that it is the moderateness of the
Confucian ideology, the humane and conciliatory outlook that
centuries of cramped civilized life have given the Chinese, that is
the basis of this, and that this indisposition to adopt hard and
fast systems has been one of the ameliorating influences in the
present period of serious intellectual antagonisms. Generalizations
concerning China are rarely worth much. It may be, however, that
the doctrine of <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>, with
respect to its positive socio-economic content, may appear vague to
the Western student, and that he may surmise it to be a mere cloak
for demagogues. It could easily do that in the West, or in the
hands of insincere and unscrupulous leaders. In China, however, it
need not necessarily have been formulated more positively than it
was, because, as we have seen, the intellectual temper of the
Chinese makes any strict adherence to a schedule or a plan
impossible. It is easy, always, to render the courtesies; it is
hard to follow the specific content. Sun Yat-sen apparently
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page153">[pg 153]</span><a name=
"Pg153" id="Pg153" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> realized this, and
wished to leave a general body of doctrine which could be followed
and which would not be likely to be violated. In any case, the
theses of <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>, both
ideologically and programmatically, can scarcely be contrasted with
the detailed schedules of social revolution to be found in the
West.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen's
frequent expressions of sympathy with communism and socialism, and
his occasional identification of the large principles of
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> with them, are an
indication of his desire for ultimate collectivism. (It may be
remarked, in passing, that Sun Yat-sen used the word <em class=
"tei tei-emph"><span style=
"font-style: italic">collectivist</span></em> in a much more rigid
sense than that employed by Coker.) His concessions to the economic
situation of his time, the pragmatic, practical method in which he
conceived and advocated his plans, are a manifestation of the
empirical element in his collectivism.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"><span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Ming shêng</span></span> cannot, however, be
thought of as another Western doctrine for national economic
strength, national economic reconstitution, and national
distributive justice; it is also a program for the improvement of
the morale of the people.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">How is the
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> doctrine to fit in
with the essentially conservative spirit of the nationalist
ideology? If, as Sun proposed, the new ideology is to be compounded
of the old morality, the old knowledge, and modern physical
science, how is <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>,
referring to social as well as material programs, to be developed
in harmony with the old knowledge? In the terminology of
ultramodern Western political science, the ethical, the moral, and
the emotional are likely to appear as words of derision. In a
milieu characterized by the curiously warmblooded social outlook of
the Confucians, such terms are still relevant to reality, still
significant in the lives of men. The sentimental is intangible in
politics; for that reason it is hard to fit into contemporary
thought, but <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page154">[pg
154]</span><a name="Pg154" id="Pg154" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
though it cannot be measured and fully understood, its potency
cannot be disregarded; and for Sun Yat-sen it was of the utmost
importance.</p>

mankind—each man's consciousness of membership in society. This
doctrine was formulated in a society unacquainted with Greek logic,
nor did it have the strange European emphasis upon sheer
intellectuality which has played its way through Western thought.
Not, of course, as profoundly introspective as Christianity, nor
appealing so distinctly to the mystical in man's nature, it was
nevertheless concerned with man's inner life, as well as with the
ethics of his outward behavior. The Confucian was suffused
throughout with the idea of virtue; the moral and the physical were
inextricably intertwined. Its non-logical content scarcely
approached the form of a religion; commentators on the old ideology
have not called it religious, despite the prominence of beliefs in
the supernatural.<a id="noteref_201" name="noteref_201" href=

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The nationalist
ideology was designed as the inheritor of and successor to, the old
ideology of China. The doctrine <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page155">[pg 155]</span><a name="Pg155" id="Pg155" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> of nationalism narrowed the field of the
application of Confucianism from the whole civilized world to the
state-ized society of the Chinese race-nation. The doctrine of
democracy implemented the old teachings of popular power and
intellectual leadership with a political mechanism designed to
bring forth the full strength of both. And the doctrine of
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> was the economic
application of the old social ethos.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It is in this
last significance, rather than in any of its practical meanings of
recovery, development, and reform, that Sun Yat-sen spoke most of
it to one of his followers.<a id="noteref_204" name="noteref_204"
href="#note_204"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=

was concerned with it as a moral force. His work was, among other
things, a work of moral transformation of individual motives.<a id=

<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Min shêng</span></span> must, in addition to
its other meanings be regarded as an attempt to extend the Chinese
ideology to economic matters, to lead the Chinese to follow their
old ethics. Sun Yat-sen had ample time in his visits to the West to
observe the ravages that modern civilization had inflicted upon the
older Western <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page156">[pg
156]</span><a name="Pg156" id="Pg156" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
moral life, and did not desire that China should also follow the
same course. The humanity of the old tradition must be kept by the
Chinese in their venture into the elaborate and dangerous economy
of modern life; the machine civilization was needed, and was itself
desirable,<a id="noteref_206" name="noteref_206" href=
"#note_206"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">206</span></span></a> but
it could not overthrow the humane civilization that preceded it and
was to continue on beneath and throughout it.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In this manner a
follower of Sun Yat-sen seeks to recall his words: <span class=
"tei tei-q">“I should say that <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> focuses our ethical
tradition even more than the other two principles; after a Chinese
has become nationalistic and democratic, he will become socialized
through the idea of his own personality as an instrument of good
for human welfare. In this proud feeling of importance to and for
the world, egotism gives way to altruism.... So, I say again that
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> is an ethical endeavor
... this, the final principle (and yet, the first principle which I
discovered, in the bitterness and poverty of my boyhood days), will
come imperceptibly into our lives.”</span><a id="noteref_207" name=

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In a philosophy
for intellectuals such attitudes need not, perhaps, be reckoned
with; in an ideology for revolution and reconstitution, perhaps
they should. Sun Yat-sen conceived of his own work and his ideology
not only as political acts but as moral forces; <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> was at once to
invigorate the national economy, to industrialize the material
civilization, and to institute distributive justice, and in
addition to this, it was to open a new, humane epoch in economic
relations. That is why the term, instead of being translated, is
left in the Chinese: <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign"

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen was
a political leader as well as a political philosopher. His growth
as a thinker was intimately associated with the development of his
political activities. It would be difficult to say which came
first, either in time or in importance, in his life—his teachings
or his work. At times the line between the two becomes vague. Sun
made vital commitments concerning his ideology in furthering his
revolutionary work. These have to be sifted out from other
utterances bearing only upon the immediate situation. This is not
easy, but neither is it impossible. Lyon Sharman wrote,
<span class="tei tei-q">“It might be cogently argued that, in
dealing with an easily absorbent, propagandist mind like Sun
Yat-sen's one should not look to the shifting ideas for his real
opinions, but to those formulations which he clung to tenaciously
all his life.”</span><a id="noteref_208" name="noteref_208" href=

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The ideology of
the <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">San
Min Chu I</span></span> provides a broad scheme of terms and values
by means of which the Chinese of the twentieth century could orient
themselves simultaneously in the modern world and in the continuing
world of Confucian civilization. Between this philosophy and the
necessity of immediate practical action there stands an
intermediate step—that of the plans. The plans provide a theory of
means leading to the establishment of the ends set up in the
ideology. The ideology, left on paper by itself, could not bring
about China's salvation; it had to be spread and implemented with
political action. Sun Yat-sen planned the programs and activities
of the Chinese revolutionaries in some detail; he proposed policies
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page158">[pg 158]</span><a name=
"Pg158" id="Pg158" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> reaching far out
into the future. While, since his death, these plans have been
modified to a greater or less degree,<a id="noteref_209" name=

"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">209</span></span></a> they
have not lost all relevance to the course of affairs in China, and,
in any case, possess an interest of their own in the history of
political thought, as illustrating the political doctrines to which
Sun Yat-sen's ideology led him. The first problem the plans had to
include was that of providing a tool by which they could be set in
motion.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">What instrument
could preach nationalism to the Chinese people and awaken them,
and, having awakened them, lead them on to a victorious defense of
their race and civilization? Sun's answer was: <span class=
"tei tei-q">“The Kuomintang.”</span> The nationalist revolutionary
party was the designated heir to the leadership of the people, and
even in his life-time Sun Yat-sen worked through the party that was
almost entirely his own creation.</p><span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page159">[pg 159]</span><a name="Pg159" id="Pg159" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This party had
begun as a small group of the personal followers of Sun Yat-sen in
the days when he was struggling against the Manchu monarchy almost
singlehanded. Gradually this group increased and became a
federation of the great secret orders which had resisted the
Manchus for centuries. It developed into a modern parliamentary
party under the name <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Kuomintang</span></span>—literally <em class=
"tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">nation people
party</span></em>—with the inauguration of the first republic, but
was soon driven underground by the would-be emperor Yüan Shih-k'ai.
It emerged again in South China at the end of the World War, was
reorganized after the Communist model (so far as intra-party
organization was concerned) before the death of Sun Yat-sen, led
the revolution to the North, and, now, though somewhat less united
than before, rules the greater part of China in the name of the
Three Principles.<a id="noteref_210" name="noteref_210" href=
"#note_210"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">210</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Confucius
preached the slow transformation of society by means of an
intellectual leaven, scholar class, which, by re-forming and
clarifying the ideology, could gradually minimize conflict among
men and bring about an epoch of concord in which all men would live
by reason as found in tradition. The function of the Kuomintang
was, in Sun's mind, only remotely similar. The Kuomintang was
designed to intervene in a chaos of wars and corrupt politics, to
propagate the nationalist ideology, and avert a tragic fate which
would otherwise be inevitable—the disappearance of China from the
map of the world, and the extinction not only of Chinese
civilization but—as Sun Yat-sen thought—of the Chinese race as
well.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In the days
before the downfall of the monarchy, and <span class="tei tei-pb"
id="page160">[pg 160]</span><a name="Pg160" id="Pg160" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> for the few years of defeat under the first
republic, the Kuomintang was not highly organized. Sun Yat-sen's
genius for leadership, and the fervor of his adherents—which can be
understood only at first-hand, and cannot be explained in rational
terms—were sufficient to hold the party together. But there was far
too much discord as to final principles as well as to points of
immediate action, and party activities were not so specialized as
to permit maximum efficiency.<a id="noteref_211" name="noteref_211"
href="#note_211"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">211</span></span></a>
Furthermore, there was the question of the relations of the party
and the state. It was somewhat absurd for the partizans of Sun
Yat-sen, having brought about the revolution, to stand back and let
whomever would walk away with it. The party's power had ebbed with
its success in 1911. There had to be some way of keeping the party
in power after it had achieved the overthrow of its enemies, and
won the revolutionary control of the country. Reorganization was
definitely necessary if party effectiveness were to be raised to
the point of guaranteeing the success of the next revolution—which
Sun did not live to see—and party supremacy to the point of
assuring the Nationalists control of the government after the
revolution had been accomplished.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Reorganization
was effected through the assistance of the Communists during the
period of the Canton-Moscow entente (1923-1927).<a id="noteref_212"

extraordinarily able Michael Borodin, the Soviet advisers sent from
Russia completely re-shaped the internal structure of the
Kuomintang and won for themselves positions of considerable
confidence and influence, which they lost only when they attempted
to transform the principles and objectives of the Party as
thoroughly as they had the organization.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The Kuomintang
of today, which is irreconcilably opposed to Marxism, still bears
the imprint of Communist design.<a id="noteref_213" name=

Though the working details of the Party organization do not, for
the most part, appear directly relevant to the principle of
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min ch'üan</span></span> of Sun Yat-sen, the
arrangements for Party control illustrate the curious compromise
between Chinese and Western democratic patterns, on the one hand,
and the revolutionary requirements of absolutism, on the other,
which have made Chinese republicanism seem a sham, if not a farce,
to Western scholars who expect to find in China the same openness
and freedom in democratic government to which they are accustomed
at home.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">During the
life-time of Sun there was no question of an elective headship for
the Party. In spite of the fact that the party stood for democracy,
it seemed impossible <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page162">[pg
162]</span><a name="Pg162" id="Pg162" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
that any alternative to Sun Yat-sen himself should be considered.
Sun Yat-sen's complete willingness to continue as head of the Party
without troubling to have himself elected from time to time has
been variously interpreted: his friends term it the humble and
natural recognition of a celebrated fact; his enemies regard it as
the hallucination of an egotism as distorted as it was colossal.
The truth would appear to be that Sun regarded the initiation and
the guidance of the Nationalist revolution as his particular
mission in life. He was, in a sense, the intellectual proprietor of
the Three Principles. Unselfish in all personal matters, he had few
doubts of his own capacity when he had discovered what he believed
to be his duty, and unquestioningly set out to perform it. In the
lawlessness and tumult of the revolution, it would have seemed
absurd for Sun Yat-sen to submit to the periodical formula of
reëlection for the sake of any merely theoretical harmony of action
and theory.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Not only was Sun
Yat-sen the leader of the Party; he was not even to have a
successor. The first revised constitution of the Kuomintang
provided for his life-time headship; the second stipulated that the
post of <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Tsung Li</span></span> should never be filled
by any other person. As <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Tsung Li</span></span>—the Party Leader, it is
still customary to refer to Sun Yat-sen in China today. This,
again, was not the display of a superhuman vanity so much as a
practical requirement designed to offset the possibility of
conflict and intrigue among the most conspicuous party chiefs,
which would quite probably arise should the question of a
succession to Sun Yat-sen ever be mentioned. There was, of course,
the element of respect in this gesture—the implication that the
magistral chair of Sun Yat-sen was too high a place for any common
man to sit.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">So far as
leadership was concerned the Kuomintang was an autocracy until the
death of Sun Yat-sen. In all <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page163">[pg 163]</span><a name="Pg163" id="Pg163" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> other party matters attempts were made to
cultivate democratic form and instil democratic morale. The
prudence of this choice may seem to have been borne out by the
course of history, since the Communists did not become ambitious,
nor the Nationalists jealous, to the point of open conflict until
after the death of Sun Yat-sen. Western thought will have to make
extensive allowances before it can comprehend a democratic Party
which operated under the unquestioned authority of a single man,
without recourse to the formula of a plebiscite or election to a
boss-ship in the form of a nominal post made significant only by
the personal conspicuousness of the incumbent.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Had Karl Marx
lived to work in the Russian Revolution, he might have occupied a
position analogous to that which Sun Yat-sen did in the Chinese. In
other respects the new Kuomintang organization was remarkably like
the Communist. There was the extraordinarily complex, but somehow
effective, mechanism of a Party Congress, a Central Executive
Committee, and a Standing Committee. There was a Political Bureau
and an agency for overseas agitation. There were also the wide
ramifications of an extensive net work of auxiliary organizations
designed to draw strength from every popular enthusiasm, and
deflect it to the cause of the Nationalist revolution. In due time
these agencies were turned about and swung into action against the
Communists who had attempted to master them.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The precise
details of Kuomintang organization need not be described. In
general the pattern of authority proceeded from the whole
membership, by a sequence of indirect elections, to the inner group
of the Central Executive Committee, a body which possesses as much
power in China as does its Soviet prototype.<a id="noteref_214"
name="noteref_214" href="#note_214"><span class=

instance of its <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page164">[pg
164]</span><a name="Pg164" id="Pg164" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
power may be given: representatives are sent by the <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">tang pu</span></span> (Party Branches) to the
Party Congress; in the event that delegates do not or cannot come,
the C. E. C. has the power of appointing persons to serve
<span class="tei tei-foreign"><span style="font-style: italic">pro
tempore</span></span> as the representatives of the otherwise
unrepresented branches. Since the same committee examines
delegates' credentials, it is apparent that the trustworthiness of
the Party Congress can be assured in the same manner that, to the
understanding of the present author, the earlier All-Union
Congresses of Soviets and the C. P. were assured in the Russian
Revolution. The pattern given the Kuomintang by the Russians gave
the Party a strong central control able to assure orthodoxy within
the Party; for some years, as a matter of history, differences of
opinion within the Party could only be expressed by schism (as in
the case of the <span class="tei tei-q">“Kuomintang”</span> of Wang
Ch'ing-wei). While the aim of the Party was democracy, it cannot be
said truthfully that democracy worked in a militant Party engaged
in turning an anarchy into a revolution. The requirements of
revolutionary endeavor, among other things, seem to include an
iron-handed leadership of the right sort. Such leadership could, in
the Sun Yat-sen ideology, be justified by reference to the three
stages of the revolution.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The Kuomintang
remained, so far as leadership was concerned, the creature of Sun
Yat-sen. In structure it was extensively reorganized to resemble
the Communist hierarchy found in Russia, with the administrative
and legislative systems united into grades of conferences and
committees. The Kuomintang also took over the Communist system of a
registered and disciplined membership. To the time of the
reorganization in 1923-1924, the <span class="tei tei-pb" id=

Without a complete system of personnel book-keeping, it was
impossible to keep adequate records of the performance of each
member and comb through the membership for the purpose of
eliminating undesirables and inactives. At the time of the
reorganization the membership was required to be reënrolled; in
many cases certificates of membership were granted (in physical
appearance resembling a European passport) which, in view of the
Party power, entailed a considerable grant of privileges with the
more or less corresponding burden of duties. Party finances notably
improved. In time this systematic method of recording membership
was applied for the purposes of ousting persons with Communist or
pro-Communist views, or eliminating individuals too friendly with
foreign interests believed antagonistic to the Party or its
purposes. <span class="tei tei-q">“Party purges”</span> have been
frequent and drastic since the organization of a complete
membership record.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The Kuomintang,
as it was re-formed just before its swift rise to power and as it
has essentially remained since, was a well-organized body of
persons, subject to varying degrees of Party discipline, and
trained in the methods of propaganda. The leadership was in the
hands of Sun Yat-sen and, after his death, in the hands of his most
trusted military and political aides. The membership, drawn from
all parts of China and the world, was made <span class="tei tei-pb"
id="page166">[pg 166]</span><a name="Pg166" id="Pg166" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> up of persons from almost every class in

Intra-party democracy was not, for the most part, put into practice
because of the disturbed political and economic conditions. The
Party and its predecessors have, in the forty-odd years of their
combined existence, been facing what amounted to a state of
perpetual emergency. Sometimes badly, but more often effectively,
they have struggled to establish a state which in turn can found
the democratic ideology of Sun upon which the democracy of the
future must, they believe, be based.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun did not
state definitely that the Party was to be dissolved after the task
of its dictatorship was completed, and China had won a stable
democratic government. That decision, of perpetuating the Party as
one of many competing parties in the new democracy, or of
abolishing it altogether, was presumably to be left to the Party
leaders of the time. A precedent may be found in the behavior of
Sun himself after the establishment of the Republic in 1912; he
continued the Nationalist Party as one of the chief parties in the
parliamentary republic. Yüan Shih-k'ai soon drove it underground
again. From this it might be possible to conclude that the Party
having done with its trusteeship, need not commit suicide as a
party, but could continue in some form or another.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The Kuomintang
forms the link between the theories of Sun and the realities of the
revolutionary struggle; <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page167">[pg

it ties together his plans for a new democracy in China and his
strategies in the conflicts of the moment. First instrument of the
ideology, it bears the burden of bringing about the revolution, and
bringing the country to the stage of testing the administrative and
political theories of the founder, and simultaneously inculcating
the democratic principle in the minds of those who are to bear the
heritage of Chinese organization and culture on to the future.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The genius of
Sun Yat-sen, the Communist gift of organization, and the fervor of
the membership brought about the defeat or submission—however
nominal the latter may have been—of the warlords. By what stages,
according to the theory of Sun Yat-sen, could national unity be
realized? What, given power, should the Kuomintang do to guarantee
the success of the revolution?</p>

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The first task
which the Kuomintang, once established, had to perform was a
necessary preliminary to the other portions of its work—such as the
leading of the first steps against the Western inroads, the opening
up of the democratic technique of government, and the initiation of
the first phases of <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign"
xml:lang="zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min

fact that they were a nation, and not only a nation, but an abused
and endangered one as well.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">We have seen
that Sun Yat-sen regarded nationalism as a precious treasure which
the Chinese had lost.<a id="noteref_217" name="noteref_217" href=

had said, many years before, in his <span class=

policy of intellectual suppression designed to extinguish or divert
Chinese nationalism, and to make the great masses of Chinese on
whom the Manchu power depended oblivious to the fact that they were
the humiliated slaves of alien <span class="tei tei-pb" id=

Again, in the third lecture on nationalism, he said that while the
Emperors Kang Hsi and Ch'ien Lung were at least honest in
acknowledging themselves to be Manchus, extenuating their presence
on the Dragon Throne by claiming the imperial hero-sages, Shun and
Wen Wang, of antiquity as fellow-barbarians, the Manchu Emperors
after Ch'ien Lung did everything they could to suppress Chinese
nationalist ideas. They even did not hesitate to revise the
classics of history in order to obliterate whatever historical
consciousness the Chinese may have had of themselves.<a id=

"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">219</span></span></a> Sun
Yat-sen pointed out that the strong group-consciousness of the Jews
has kept Judea living through the centuries, even though the Jewish
state was obliterated and the Jews themselves scattered to the four
winds. He also praised the Poles,<a id="noteref_220" name=

"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">220</span></span></a> who
were subjugated by aliens as were the Chinese, but kept their
nationalist ideas and were consequently restored as an honored
nation after the world war. Hence, the first step in the program of
Chinese nationalism was to be the creation of a consciousness of
that nationalism. If the Chinese did not regain their nationalism,
<span class="tei tei-q">“that precious treasure which makes
possible the subsistence of humanity,”</span><a id="noteref_221"
name="noteref_221" href="#note_221"><span class=

might meet the fate of the Miao tribes whom the Chinese
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page169">[pg 169]</span><a name=
"Pg169" id="Pg169" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> had pushed back into
desolate lands and who faced an ignominious extinction.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This
consciousness of themselves as a race-national unity was not of
itself enough. The Chinese had lost the favored position that they
had held since before the beginning of recorded history, and were
no longer in a position to view the frailties of outside nations
with the charity to which their once impregnable position had
entitled them. It was no longer a mere question of pushing through
a recognition that China, hitherto regarded by the Chinese as the
ecumene of civilization, was a nation, and not even an equal to the
other nations. This idea had to be developed into a force.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen
wrote, of the significance of philosophy in action: <span class=
"tei tei-q">“What is a principle? A principle is an idea, a belief,
a force. As a rule, when men search for the truth of a thesis, they
first reflect upon it, then their reflections grow into a belief,
and that belief becomes a force. Hence in order to be firmly
established, a principle must pass through the different stages of
idea, belief, and force.”</span><a id="noteref_222" name=
"noteref_222" href="#note_222"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">222</span></span></a> No
more definite statement of the ideological consequences of thought
could be found. Sun Yat-sen appreciated this, and realized that, in
the carrying out of his ideology, the first necessity was the
adoption of the ideology itself. All other steps must be secondary.
The grouping of the important steps in the fulfillment of the
program of nationalism may have differed from time to time,<a id=
"noteref_223" name="noteref_223" href="#note_223"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">223</span></span></a> but
the actual work of Sun Yat-sen was based <span class="tei tei-pb"
id="page170">[pg 170]</span><a name="Pg170" id="Pg170" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> upon the method indicated: the establishment
of at least the preliminary notions of the ideology as a
prerequisite to effective social action. (In this connection, and
in anticipation of further discussion, it might be pointed out that
the advantage of the Moscow-Canton entente was not one gained from
the superior appeal of the Communist ideology, but from the
superior agitation techniques which the Nationalists learned from
the Communists, and which enabled them to bring into play the full
latent social force in Sun Yat-sen's ideas.) But if mere
national-consciousness were insufficient of itself, what else was
needed?</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Loyalty was
necessary. Being aware of themselves as Chinese would not help
them, unless they united and were loyal to that union. <span class=
"tei tei-q">“To say that what the ancients understood by loyalty
was loyalty toward the emperor, and that, since we no longer have
an emperor, we (need no longer) speak of loyalty, and to believe
that we can act as we please—that is a grave error.”</span><a id=
"noteref_224" name="noteref_224" href="#note_224"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">224</span></span></a> Sun
Yat-sen thus points out one of the most tragically perplexing of
the problems of the new China.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">He was urging
return to the ancient morality. The ancient code of loyalty was one
built up to the emperor. Although the emperor did not have much
power, in comparison with some despots who have changed history, he
was nevertheless the man at the apex of society. The Confucian
society was one built in general upon the grand design of an
enormous family; a design which was, nevertheless, flexible enough
to permit the deposition of a wicked or mad emperor—something which
the Japanese order of things could not in theory, although it did
in fact, tolerate. Filial piety was piety toward one's own family
head; loyalty was piety toward the family head of all civilized
society.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Many writers
have pointed out the discord and unhappiness <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page171">[pg 171]</span><a name="Pg171" id="Pg171"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> which the abolition of the Empire
brought to many Chinese. Their code of honor was outraged; the
embodiment of their social stability was gone.<a id="noteref_225"
name="noteref_225" href="#note_225"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">225</span></span></a> The
critics who made the comment could not, of course, deny the general
trend away of political organization throughout the world from
monarchy. They did question the competence of the Chinese to make
the readjustment at the present stage of their history, or believed
that the Chinese could not preserve their traditional civilization
under a governmental system which was alien to the form if not to
the spirit of the Chinese tradition. Although their criticisms may
be influenced too heavily by an antiquarian appreciation of the
excellencies of the Chinese Imperial system, or a desire to
preserve China as a sort of vast museum with all its quaintnesses
of yesteryear, there is some point to what they say, since the
transition to national-state allegiance was not an easy one. There
were two factors involved in it, besides the tremendousness of the
educational task of convincing almost half a billion people that
they were no longer ruled by a properly deputized agent of the
universe, but were quite free to manage their world as they
collectively saw fit. These factors were, first, the necessity of
preventing any possible resurrection of the Dragon Throne, and
second, the inculcation of allegiance to an intangible state.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen
pointed out the enormous waste of blood and wealth involved in the
change from one dynasty to another, when the highest post in the
whole world was suddenly left open for the strongest man to seize.
Republicanism would consequently tend to prevent civil wars in the
future;<a id="noteref_226" name="noteref_226" href=
"#note_226"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">226</span></span></a> the
cumbersome, murderous old method of expressing the popular will, as
the Confucian ideology provided, was to be done away with, and
peaceful changes <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page172">[pg
172]</span><a name="Pg172" id="Pg172" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
of political personnel developed. He asserted that the T'ai P'ing
rebels, of whose memory he was fond, had failed in their fierce
attempt to establish a fantastic pseudo-Christian, proletarian,
collectivistic dynasty in the sixth and seventh decade of the
nineteenth century because of the dispute that arose within their
ranks as to leadership.<a id="noteref_227" name="noteref_227" href=
"#note_227"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">227</span></span></a> He
also pointed out that many of the militarists under the Republic
knew well that the Dragon Throne was empty, but did not know that
it was gone.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The story of the
eradication of monarchy from Chinese society is an interesting one,
relevant to the question of the old and the new loyalty. Sun
Yat-sen's full force was thrown at first against the Manchus. He
taught the other two principles of democracy and <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>, but in his earlier
years he attracted most attention by his anti-Manchu activities.
Now, in allowing the principle of nationalism to do the work of the
principle of democracy, Sun Yat-sen was using the anti-dynastic
revolutionary potentialities of the situation to push along an
anti-monarchical movement. The Chinese constitutional arrangement
was such, under the Manchus, that a foreign monarch, who was a
sovereign in his own right, quite apart from China, sat on the
Chinese throne. The Manchu Emperor occupied the Dragon Throne. Many
were willing to rebel against a Manchu; they might have hesitated
had an indigenous prince occupied that position.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">On the occasion
of the establishment of the first Republic, in 1912, the Manchu
Emperor was allowed to continue residence in Peking. Retaining his
dynastic title and the use of the Forbidden City, he was to receive
a stipend from the Chinese Republic and to be entitled to all the
privileges normally accorded a foreign emperor by international
law. There is a remote possibility, although the truth of this
surmise cannot be substantiated, that he <span class="tei tei-pb"
id="page173">[pg 173]</span><a name="Pg173" id="Pg173" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> was left there as a sort of scarecrow, to
prevent anyone from seizing the throne. Constitutional difficulties
would have arisen if a pensioned Manchu Emperor and a native
caesarian Emperor were to attempt to occupy the same throne.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This peculiar
arrangement does not seem to have helped matters much. There was
not enough pro-Manchu sentiment to support any restoration movement
on a large scale, such as a reactionary insurrection, and the
personal unpopularity of the one man, Yüan Shih-k'ai, who, as
dictator of the first Republic (1912-1916), sought the throne, was
enough to keep any active monarchical movement from succeeding. The
one attempt of the Manchu partizans, in 1917, failed utterly.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">That is not to
say that the Dragon Throne was not missed. A general relaxation of
political ethics was observable. The old tradition could not easily
be reconciled to a juristic notion from outside. Sun Yat-sen sought
most eagerly to impress upon the Chinese the necessity for state
allegiance in place of monarchical devotion: <span class=
"tei tei-q">“At present everybody says that morality was overthrown
with the advent of the republic. The main reason is right here.
Reasonably speaking we must practice loyalty even under a
republican regime, not loyalty to a sovereign, but loyalty toward
the nation, loyalty toward the people, loyalty toward our four
hundred million men. Of course, loyalty toward four hundred million
men is something much more exalted than loyalty toward one single
man. Hence we must preserve the excellent virtue of
loyalty.”</span><a id="noteref_228" name="noteref_228" href=
"#note_228"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">228</span></span></a> A
curious emphasis on the physical object of loyalty is present here.
The Chinese, having no background of Western juristic
hypostatizations, were unable to be faithful to a legal fiction;
expressing state allegiance, Sun <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page174">[pg 174]</span><a name="Pg174" id="Pg174" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> Yat-sen had to put it in its most tangible
form, that of a concord of human beings.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Nevertheless,
under the republic, the old virtue of personal loyalty should not
interfere with state allegiance. Sun Yat-sen was willing and
anxious that the Chinese should consider their loyalty as being
directed to the nation; he did not wish that the officials of the
nation, as men, should get it. In that case the very purpose of
democracy would be defeated, and a monarchy or an oligarchy set up
with the formulae of a democracy. Sun Yat-sen was as radically
republican as any early American. <span class="tei tei-q">“In
regard to the government of the nation, fundamentally, it is the
people who have the power, but the administration of the government
must be entrusted to experts who have the capacity. We need not
regard those experts as stately and honorable presidents and
ministers, but merely as chauffeurs of automobiles, as sentinels
who guard the gate, as cooks who prepare the food, as doctors who
attend to sicknesses, as carpenters who build houses, as tailors
who make clothes.”</span><a id="noteref_229" name="noteref_229"
href="#note_229"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">229</span></span></a> State
allegiance had to be directed between the Scylla of a monarchical
restoration and the Charybdis of nominally republican personal
government. The old form had to be discarded, and the old habits
turned in a new direction, but not in the easiest direction that
they might take.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The problem of
the supplanting of the Dragon Throne by a state was not an easy
one. In the preparation of the Chinese people for the initiation of
an active program of nationalism, the first elements of the
nationalist ideology had to be inculcated. This involved
race-consciousness. But the idea of race-consciousness and
national-consciousness could not be exerted as a force unless the
conscious union of the Chinese race-nation was accompanied by the
erection of a powerful democratic state, and unless this
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page175">[pg 175]</span><a name=
"Pg175" id="Pg175" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> state fell heir to
the loyalty which had once been shown the Throne, or even a higher
loyalty. This loyalty had to be based on the two suppositions that
the Empire was gone forever, and that personal loyalty, even under
the forms of a republic, should not be allowed to take its place.
Only with a genuine state-allegiance could the Chinese advance to
their national salvation.</p>

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The ideological
establishment of a race-national outlook would have far-reaching
consequences that might well continue working themselves out for
centuries. The immediate exercise of this sense of unity was to be
developed through a loyalty to state allegiance, which would also
of itself be significant. These two new patterns—the one
ideological, and the other institutional—running through the
Chinese society and social mind were vitally necessary. But after
the institutional habit of state-allegiance had been developed,
what was the new democratic state, the instrument of the awakened
race-nation, to do in the way of practical policies to give effect
to the new consciousness and strength of Chinese nationalism?</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen,
whose principles tended to develop themselves in terms of
threes,<a id="noteref_230" name="noteref_230" href=
"#note_230"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">230</span></span></a> cited
three perils constituting a threat to the Chinese society. The
first was the peril to the Chinese race, which was faced with the
possibility <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page176">[pg
176]</span><a name="Pg176" id="Pg176" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
of decline in an expanding Western World and might even become
vestigial or extinct. This peril was to be fought with
race-nationalism. The second was the peril to the Chinese polity,
the danger that China might become politically appurtenant to some
foreign power of group of powers. This was to be fought with
democratic race-nationalism. And the last, and most insidious, was
the peril to the Chinese economy, the looting of China by the
unfair economic measures of the great powers, to be met by a
nationalist economic program. Sun Yat-sen was most apprehensive of
the combined strength of these three pressures: <span class=
"tei tei-q">“... I fear that our people are in a very difficult
position; and I fear that we may perish in the near future. We are
threatened by the three forces I have mentioned: namely, the
increase of foreign population, the political force, and the
economic force of the foreigners.”</span><a id="noteref_231" name=
"noteref_231" href="#note_231"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">231</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Of the three
forms of the foreign oppression of China, the economic, because it
did not show itself so readily, and was already working full force,
was the most dangerous. It was from this oppression that China had
sunk to the degraded position of a sub-colony. <span class=
"tei tei-q">“This economic oppression, this immense tribute is a
thing which we did not dream of; it is something which cannot be
easily detected, and hence we do not feel the awful shame of
it.”</span><a id="noteref_232" name="noteref_232" href=
"#note_232"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">232</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen, as
stated above, was not hostile to the development of that portion of
foreign capital which he regarded as fairly employed in China, and
spent a great part of his life in seeking to introduce capital from
outside. He did, however, make a distinction between the just
operation of economic forces, and the unjust combination of the
economic with the politically oppressive. Foreign capital in China
was not oppressive because it <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page177">[pg 177]</span><a name="Pg177" id="Pg177" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> was capital; it was oppressive because it
held a privileged position, and because it was reinforced by
political and military sanctions. There is no implication in Sun
Yat-sen's works that the operations of finance, when not unjustly
interfered with by political action, could, even when adverse to
China, be regarded as wrong of themselves.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In what ways,
then, did foreign capital so invest its position with unjust
non-economic advantages that it constituted a burden and an
oppression? There were, according to Sun Yat-sen, six headings
under which the various types of economic incursion could be
classified, with the consequence that a total of one billion two
hundred million Chinese dollars were unjustly exacted from the
Chinese economy every year by the foreigners.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">First, the
control of the Customs services having, by treaty, been surrendered
by China, and a standard <span lang="la" class="tei tei-foreign"
xml:lang="la"><span style="font-style: italic">ad
valorem</span></span> tariff having also been set by treaty, the
Chinese had to leave their markets open to whatever foreign
commerce might choose to come. They were not in a position to
foster their new modern industries by erecting a protective tariff,
as had the United States in the days of its great industrial
development.<a id="noteref_233" name="noteref_233" href=
"#note_233"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=

China's adverse balance in trade constituted a heavy loss to the
already inadequate capital of the impoverished nation. Furthermore,
the amount of the possible revenue which could be collected under
an autonomous tariff system was lost. Again, foreign goods were not
required, by treaty stipulation, to pay the internal transit taxes
which Chinese goods had to pay. As a result, the customs situation
really amounted to the development of a protective system for
foreign goods in China, to the direct financial loss of the
Chinese, and to the detriment of their industrial development. He
estimated that half a billion dollars, Chinese, was lost yearly,
through this politically established economic <span class=

class="tei tei-anchor"></a> oppression.<a id="noteref_234" name=

Obviously, one of the first steps of Chinese economic nationalism
had to be tariff autonomy.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Second, the
foreign banks occupied an unfair position in China. They had won a
virtual monopoly of banking, with the consequence that the Chinese
banks had to appear as marginal competitors, weak and unsound
because the people were <span class="tei tei-q">“poisoned by
economic oppression.”</span><a id="noteref_235" name="noteref_235"
href="#note_235"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">235</span></span></a> The
foreign banks issued paper money, which gave them cost-free
capital; they discounted Chinese paper too heavily; and they paid
either no or very little interest on deposits. In some cases they
actually charged interest on deposits. A second step of economic
nationalism had to be the elimination of the privileged position of
the foreign banks, which were not subject to Chinese jurisdiction,
and were thus able to compete unfairly with the native banks.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Third, economic
oppression manifested itself in transportation, chiefly by water.
The economic impotence of the Chinese made them use foreign bottoms
almost altogether; the possible revenue which could be saved or
perhaps actually gained from the use of native shipping was
lost.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Fourth, the
Western territorial concessions constituted an economic
disadvantage to the Chinese. Wrested from the old Manchu
government, they gave the foreigners a strangle-hold on the Chinese
economy. Besides, they represented a direct loss to the Chinese by
means of the following items: taxes paid to the foreign authorities
in the conceded ports, which was paid by the Chinese and lost to
China; land rents paid by Chinese to foreign individuals, who
adopted this means of supplementing the tribute levied from the
Chinese in the form of taxes; <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page179">[pg 179]</span><a name="Pg179" id="Pg179" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> finally, the unearned increment paid out by
Chinese to foreign land speculators, which amounted to an actual
loss to China. Under a nationalist economic program, not only would
the favorable position of the foreign banks be reduced to one
comparable with that of the Chinese banks, but the concessions
would be abolished. Taxes would go to the Chinese state, the land
rent system would be corrected, and unearned increment would be
confiscated under a somewhat novel tax scheme proposed by Sun
Yat-sen.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Fifth, the
Chinese lost by reason of various foreign monopolies or special
concessions. Such enterprises as the Kailan Mining Administration
and the South Manchuria Railway were wholly foreign, and were, by
privileges politically obtained, in a position to prevent Chinese
competition. This too had to be corrected under a system of
economic nationalism. The new state, initiated by the Kuomintang
and carried on by the people, had to be able to assure the Chinese
an equality of economic privilege in their own country.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sixth, the
foreigners introduced <span class="tei tei-q">“speculation and
various other sorts of swindle”</span> into China.<a id=
"noteref_236" name="noteref_236" href="#note_236"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">236</span></span></a> They
had exchanges and lotteries by which the Chinese lost tens of
millions of dollars yearly.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Under these six
headings Sun Yat-sen estimated the Chinese tribute to Western
imperialism to be not less than one billion two hundred millions a
year, silver. There were, of course, other forms of exaction which
the Westerners practised on the Chinese, such as the requirement of
war indemnities for the various wars which they had fought with
China. Furthermore, the possible wealth which China might have
gained from continued relations with her lost vassal states was
diverted to the Western powers and Japan. Sun Yat-sen also referred
to the <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page180">[pg
180]</span><a name="Pg180" id="Pg180" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
possible losses of Chinese overseas, which they suffered because
China was not powerful enough to watch their rights and to assure
them equality of opportunity.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen did
not expect that forces other than those which political nationalism
exerted upon the economic situation could save the Chinese.
<span class="tei tei-q">“If we do not find remedies to that big
leakage of $1,200,000,000.00 per year, that sum will increase every
year; there is no reason why it should naturally decrease of its
own accord.”</span><a id="noteref_237" name="noteref_237" href=
"#note_237"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">237</span></span></a> The
danger was great, and the Chinese had to use their nationalism to
offset the imperialist economic oppression which was not only
impoverishing the nation from year to year, but which was actually
preventing the development of a new, strong, modern national
economy.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">What is the
relation of the sub-principle of economic nationalism to the
principle of <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=

Economic nationalism was the preliminary remedy. The program of
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> was positive. It was
the means of creating a wealthy state, a modern, just economic
society. But the old oppressions of imperialism, lingering on, had
to be cleared away before China could really initiate such a
program. Not only was it the duty of the Chinese national and
nationalist state to fight the political methods of Western
imperialism; the Chinese people could help by using that old
Asiatic weapon—the boycott.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen was
pleased and impressed with the consequences of Gandhi's policy of
non-coöperation. He <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page181">[pg
181]</span><a name="Pg181" id="Pg181" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
pointed out that even India, which was a subject country, could
practise non-coöperation to the extreme discomfort of the British.
The creation of race-nationalism, and of allegiance to a strong
Chinese state, might take time. Non-coöperation did not. It was a
tool at hand. <span class="tei tei-q">“The reason why India gained
results from the non-coöperation policy was that it could be
practised by all the citizens.”</span><a id="noteref_239" name=

"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">239</span></span></a> The
Chinese could begin their economic nationalist program
immediately.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen
pointed out that the basis for the weakness of China, and its
exploitation by the foreigners, was the inadequacy of the Chinese
ideology. <span class="tei tei-q">“The reason why we suffer from
foreign oppression is our ignorance; we <span class=

Conscious of the peril of the foreign economic oppression, the
Chinese had to exert economic nationalism to clear the way for the
positive initiation of a program of <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>. In practising
economic nationalism, there were two ways that the Chinese could
make the force of their national union and national spirit felt:
first, through the actual advancement of the programs of the whole
of nationalism and the progress of the political and economic
condition of the country; second, through non-coöperation,
<span class="tei tei-q">“... a negative boycott which weakens the
action of imperialism, protects national standing, and preserves
from destruction.”</span><a id="noteref_241" name="noteref_241"

<span style="font-size: 144%">Political Nationalism for National
Autonomy.</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">After the first
steps of resistance to economic oppression, the Chinese
nationalists would have to launch a counter-attack on the political
oppression practised upon China by the Western powers. In his
discussion of this, <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page182">[pg
182]</span><a name="Pg182" id="Pg182" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
Sun Yat-sen described, though briefly, the past, the contemporary,
and the future of that oppression, and referred to its methods. His
theory also contained three answers to this oppression which need
to be examined in a consideration of his theoretical program of
Chinese nationalism: first, the question of China's nationalist
program of political anti-imperialism; second, the nature of the
ultimate development of nationalism and a national state; and
third, the theory of the class war of the nations. In view of the
fact that this last is a theory in itself, and one quite
significant in the distinction between the doctrines of Sun Yat-sen
and those of Marxism-Leninism, it will be considered separately.
The first two questions of the program of nationalism are, then:
what is to be the negative action for the advancement of China's
national political strength, in opposing the political power of the
West? and what is to be the positive, internal program of Chinese
nationalism?</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">As has been
stated Sun Yat-sen used the anti-dynastic sentiment current in the
last years of the Manchus as an instrument by means of which he
could foster an anti-monarchical movement. The great significance
of his nationalism as a nationalism of Chinese <span class=
"tei tei-foreign"><span style=
"font-style: italic">vis-à-vis</span></span> their
Oriental-barbarian rulers quite overshadowed its importance as a
teaching designed to protect China against its Western-barbarian
exploiters. The triumph of the Republicans was so startling that,
for a time, Sun Yat-sen seems to have believed that nationalism
could develop of itself, that the Chinese, free from their Manchu
overlords, would develop a strong race-national consciousness
without the necessity of any political or party fostering of such
an element in their ideology. Afire with all the idealism of the
false dawn of the first Republic, Sun Yat-sen dropped the principle
of nationalism from his program, and converted his fierce
conspiratorial league into <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page183">[pg 183]</span><a name="Pg183" id="Pg183" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> a parliamentary party designed to enter into
amicable competition with the other parties of the new era.<a id=
"noteref_242" name="noteref_242" href="#note_242"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">242</span></span></a> This
pleasant possibility did not develop. The work of nationalism was
by no means done. The concept of state-allegiance had not entered
into the Chinese ideology as yet, and the usurper-President Yüan
Shih-k'ai was able to gather his henchmen about him and plan for a
powerful modern Empire of which he should be forced by apparently
popular acclamation to assume control.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The further
necessity for nationalism appeared in several ways. First, the
Chinese had not become nationalistic enough in their attitude
toward the powers. Sun Yat-sen, with his reluctance to enter into
violent disagreement with the old ideology, was most unwilling that
chauvinism should be allowed in China.<a id="noteref_243" name=
"noteref_243" href="#note_243"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">243</span></span></a> He
hoped that the Western powers, seeing a fair bargain, would be
willing to invest in China sufficient capital to advance Chinese
industrial conditions. Instead, he saw Japanese capital pouring
into Peking for illegitimate purposes, and accepted by a
prostituted government of politicians. With the continuation of the
unfavorable financial policy of the powers, and the continuing
remoteness of any really helpful loans, he began to think that the
Chinese had to rely on their own strength for their
salvation.<a id="noteref_244" name="noteref_244" href=
"#note_244"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">244</span></span></a>
Second, he realized that the <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page184">[pg 184]</span><a name="Pg184" id="Pg184" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> foreigners in China were not generally
interested in a strong, modern Chinese state if that state were to
be developed by Chinese and not by themselves. Sun had understood
from the beginning that the great aim of nationalism was to
readjust the old world-society to nationhood in the modern world;
he had not, perhaps, realized that the appearance of this
nationhood was going to be opposed by foreigners.<a id=
"noteref_245" name="noteref_245" href="#note_245"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">245</span></span></a> When
he came to power in 1912, he thought that the immediate end of
nationalism—liberation of China from Manchu overlordship—had been
achieved. He was preoccupied with the domestic problems of
democracy and <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>.
When, however, the foreign powers refused to let his government at
Canton exercise even the limited authority permitted the Chinese by
the treaties over their own customs service, and did not let Sun
take the surplus funds allowed the Chinese (after payment of
interest due on the money they had lent various Chinese
governments), his appreciation of the active propagation of
nationalism was heightened. He realized that the Chinese had to
fight their own battles, and that, while they might find individual
friends among the Westerners, they could scarcely hope for a policy
of the great powers which would actually foster the growth of the
new national China.<a id="noteref_246" name="noteref_246" href=
"#note_246"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">246</span></span></a>
Simultaneously, he found his advocacy of a nationalist program
receiving unexpected support from the Soviet Union. His early
contacts with the Russians, who were the only foreigners actually
willing to intervene in his behalf with shipments of arms and
money, made him interested in the doctrines lying behind their
actions, so inconsistent with those of the other <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page185">[pg 185]</span><a name="Pg185" id="Pg185"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> Western powers. In the Communist
support of his nationalism as a stage in the struggle against
imperialism, he found his third justification of a return, with
full emphasis, to the program of nationalism.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Hence, at the
time that he delivered his sixteen lectures, which represent the
final and most authoritative stage of his principles, and the one
with which the present work is most concerned, he had returned to
an advocacy of nationalism after a temporary hope that enough work
had been done along that line. In expelling the alien Manchu rulers
of China, he had hoped that the old Chinese nationalism might
revive, as soon as it was free of the police restrictions had
placed on race-national propaganda by the Empire. He had found that
this suspension of a nationalist campaign was premature because
nationalism had not firmly entrenched itself in the Chinese social
mind. In the first place, state allegiance was weak; usurpers,
dictators and military commandants strode about the Chinese
countryside with personal armies at their heels. Secondly, the
foreign powers, out of respect to whom, perhaps, a vigorous
patriotic campaign had not been carried out, did not show
themselves anxious to assist China—at least, not as anxious as Sun
Yat-sen expected them to be. Third, the inspiration offered by a
power which, although temporarily submerged, had recently been
counted among the great powers of the world, and which had rejected
the aggressive policy which the rest of the Western nations, to a
greater or less degree, pursued in the Far East, was sufficient to
convince Sun Yat-sen of the justice of the doctrines of that power.
Soviet Russia did not stop with words; it offered to associate with
China as an equal, and the Soviet representative in Peking was the
first diplomat to be given the title of ambassador to China.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The sharpening
of the nationalist policy into a program of anti-imperialism seems
to have been the direct result of <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page186">[pg 186]</span><a name="Pg186" id="Pg186" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> the Communist teachings, one of the
conspicuous contributions of the Marxians to the programmatic part
of the theories of Sun Yat-sen. As earlier stated, their ideology
influenced his almost not all. Their programs, on the other hand,
were such an inspiration to the Chinese nationalists that the
latter had no hesitation in accepting them. Hu Han-min, one of the
moderate Kuomintang leaders, who would certainly not go out of his
way to give the Communists credit which they did not deserve,
stated unequivocally that the Chinese did not have the slogan,
<span class="tei tei-q">“Down with Imperialism!”</span> in the 1911
revolution, and gave much credit to the Bolsheviks for their
anti-imperialist lesson to the Chinese.<a id="noteref_247" name=
"noteref_247" href="#note_247"><span class=

"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">247</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In describing
the political aggression of the Western states upon the Chinese
society, Sun Yat-sen began by contrasting the nature of the
inter-state vassalage which the peripheral Far Eastern states had
once owed to the Chinese core-society. He stated that the Chinese
did not practise aggression on their neighbors, and that the
submission of the neighboring realms was a submission based on
respect and not on compulsion. <span class="tei tei-q">“If at that
time all small states of Malaysia wanted to pay tribute and adopt
Chinese customs, it was because they admired Chinese civilization
and spontaneously wished to submit themselves; it was not because
China oppressed them through military force.”</span><a id=

"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">248</span></span></a> Even
the position of the Philippines, which Sun Yat-sen thought a very
profitable and pleasant one under American rule, was not
satisfactory to the Filipinos of modern times, who, unlike the
citizens of the <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page187">[pg
187]</span><a name="Pg187" id="Pg187" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
vassal states of old China, were dissatisfied with their
subordinate positions.<a id="noteref_249" name="noteref_249" href=
"#note_249"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">249</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">He pointed out
that this benevolent Chinese position was destroyed as the West
appeared and annexed these various states, with the exception of
Siam. He then emphasized that this may have been done in the past
with a view to the division of China between the various great
powers.<a id="noteref_250" name="noteref_250" href=
"#note_250"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">250</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This
partitioning had been retarded, but the danger was still present.
The Chinese revolution of 1911 may have shown the powers that there
was some nationalism still left in China.<a id="noteref_251" name=
"noteref_251" href="#note_251"><span class=

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The military
danger was tremendous. <span class="tei tei-q">“Political power can
exterminate a nation in a morning's time. China who is now
suffering through the political oppression of the powers is in
danger of perishing at any moment. She is not safe from one day to
the other.”</span><a id="noteref_252" name="noteref_252" href=
"#note_252"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">252</span></span></a> Japan
could conquer China in ten days. The United States could do it in
one month. England would take two months at the most, as would
France. The reason why the powers did not settle the Chinese
question by taking the country was because of their mutual
distrust; it was not due to any fear of China. No one country would
start forth on such an adventure, lest it become involved with the
others and start a new world war.<a id="noteref_253" name=
"noteref_253" href="#note_253"><span class=

"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">253</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">If this were the
case, the danger from diplomacy would be greater even than that of
war. A nation could be extinguished by the stroke of a pen. The
Chinese had no reason to pride themselves on their possible
military power, their diplomacy, or their present independence.
Their military power was practically nil. Their diplomacy amounted
to nothing. It was not the Chinese but the aggressors themselves
that had brought about the long-enduring stalemate with respect to
the Chinese question. The Washington Conference was an attempt on
the part of the foreigners to apportion their rights and interests
in China without fighting. This made possible the reduction of
armaments.<a id="noteref_254" name="noteref_254" href=
"#note_254"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">254</span></span></a> The
present position of China was not one in which the Chinese could
take pride. It was humiliating. China, because it was not the
colony of one great power, was the sub-colony of all. The Chinese
were not even on a par with the colonial subjects of other
countries.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The shameful and
dangerous position thus outlined by Sun could be remedied only by
the development of <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page189">[pg
189]</span><a name="Pg189" id="Pg189" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
nationalism and the carrying-on of the struggle against
imperialism.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Anti-imperialism
was the fruit of his contact with the Bolsheviks. His nationalism
had approached their programs of national liberation, but the
precise verbal formulation had not been adopted until he came in
contact with the Marxian dialecticians of the Third International.
His anti-imperialism differed from theirs in several important
respects. He was opposed to political intervention for economic
purposes; this was imperialism, and unjust. The economic
consequences of political intervention were no better than the
intervention itself. Nevertheless, at no time did he offer an
unqualified rejection of capitalism. He sought loans for China, and
distinguished between capital which came to China in such a manner
as to profit the Chinese as well as its owners, and that which came
solely to profit the capitalists advancing it, to the economic
disadvantage of the Chinese. In his ideology, Sun Yat-sen never
appears to have accepted the Marxian thesis of the inevitable fall
of capitalism, nor does he seem to have thought that imperialism
was a necessary and final stage in the history of capitalism.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In short, his
program of anti-imperialism and the foreign policy of Chinese
political nationalism, seem to be quite comparable to the policy
held by the Soviets, apart from those attitudes and activities
which their peculiar ideology imposed. In practical matters, in
affairs and actions which he could observe with his own eyes, Sun
Yat-sen was in accord with the anti-imperialism of Soviet Russia
and of his Communist advisers. In the deeper implications of
anti-imperialism and in the pattern of the Marxian-Leninist
ideology underlying it in the U.S.S.R., he showed little interest.
Ideologically he remained Chinese; programmatically he was willing
to learn from the Russians.</p><span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page190">[pg 190]</span><a name="Pg190" id="Pg190" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The internal
program of his nationalism was one which seems to have been
influenced by the outlook developed by himself. His vigorous
denunciation of Utopian cosmopolitanism prevents his being
considered an internationalist. He had, on the occasion of the
institution of the first Republic, been in favor of the freedom of
nations even when that freedom might be exercised at the expense of
the Chinese. The Republic might conceivably have taken the attitude
that it had fallen heir to the overlordship enjoyed by the Manchu
Empire, and consequently refused representation to the Mongols,
Manchus, Tibetans, and Mohammedans. It was, however, called the
Republic of Chung Hua (instead of the Republic of Han), and a
five-striped flag, representing its five constituent <span class=
"tei tei-q">“races,”</span> was adopted. Sun Yat-sen later gave a
graphic description of the world-wide appeal of Woodrow Wilson's
principle of national self-determination. He did not think that the
principle, once enunciated, could be recalled; and stated that the
defeat of the minor and colonial nations at the Versailles
Conference, which drafted a very unjust treaty, was an instance of
the deceitfulness of the great powers.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">His nationalism
did not go so far as to permit his endorsing the entrance of the
People's Republic of Outer Mongolia into the Soviet Union. This
doctrine of nationalism as a correlative of democratic national
autonomy was his second principle, that of democracy; his first
principle, that of race-nationalism, had other implications for the
destiny of Mongolia. His positive program of nationalism was
dedicated, in its <span class="tei tei-q">“political”</span>
exercise, to the throwing-off of the imperialist bondage and the
exercise of the self-rule of the Chinese people.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It is only if
one realizes that these three sub-principles of nationalism were
re-emphases of the three principles that their position in the
theory of the nationalist program becomes clear. Nationalism was to

Western economic oppression of the Chinese, and thus allowing the
Chinese to enrich themselves. Nationalism was to strike down the
political oppression of imperialism by eradicating the political
holds of the West upon China, and thus allowing the Chinese people
to rule itself. So long as China was at the mercy of Western power,
any self-government that the Chinese might attempt would have to be
essayed at the sufferance of the aggressors. Finally, nationalism
was to reinforce itself by the application of race-nationalism to
race-kinship; China was not only to be self-ruling—it was to help
the other nations of Asia restore their autonomy and shield them
with its tutelary benevolence.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">When one
considers that to Sun Yat-sen democracy and autonomy are
inextricably associated, the full significance of his stressing
nationalism as a means to democracy appears. The Chinese people
could not rule themselves if they were to be intimidated by the
Western powers and Japan. They could not rule themselves completely
if large portions of them were under alien jurisdiction in the
treaty ports. These forms of political oppression were wounds in
the body of Chinese society. Chinese nationalism, associated with
democracy, required that the whole Chinese people be associated in
one race-nation and that this race-nation rule itself through the
mechanism of a democratic state.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Here the code of
values imposed by Sun Yat-sen's thinking in terms of the old
ideology becomes apparent. The development of nationalism in China,
while it threatened no one outside and sought only for the
justification of China's interests at home, was an accentuation of
the existence of the race-nation. The race-nation, freeing itself
(political nationalism) and ruling itself (democracy), was to
become more conscious of itself. Sun implicitly denied the
immediate necessity for a general world-authority; <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page192">[pg 192]</span><a name="Pg192" id="Pg192"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> perhaps he did so because he realized
that in the present world, any supreme authority would be
predominantly Western. The Chinese race-nation, once politically
free, had a definite duty to perform on behalf of its peripheral
states and on behalf of the suppressed states of the whole world.
The first demand, however, was for the freedom of China; others
could not be helped by China until China herself was free.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The political
application of nationalism envisaged (1) the elimination of
existing foreign political control (imperialism) in China; (2) the
strengthening of the country to such a degree that it would no
longer be a hypo-colony or sub-colony, and would not have to live
under the constant threat of invasion or partition; and (3) the
resulting free exercise of self-rule by the Chinese people, through
a nationalist democracy, so arranged that self-rule of China did
not conflict with the equal right of self-rule of other peoples
but, on the contrary, helped them.</p>

<span style="font-size: 144%">The Class War of the
Nations.</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Now come to a
consideration of the second part of the sub-principle of political
nationalism. This is the theory held by Sun concerning the class
war of the nations. It serves to illustrate three points in Sun
Yat-sen's thought: first, that Sun never permitted a Western theory
to disturb the fundamentals of Chinese ideology as he wished to
re-orient it; second, that Sun frequently took Western political
theories which had been developed in connection with the relations
of individuals and applied them to the relations of nations; and
third, that Sun was so much impressed with the cordiality and
friendship proffered him by the Communists that he sought to
coöperate with them so far as his Chinese ideology permitted
him.<a id="noteref_255" name="noteref_255" href=

"tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">One notes that
the question of distributive justice is not as pressing in China as
it is in the modern West. One also observes that the old Chinese
ideology was an ideology of the totalitarian society, which
rejected any higher allegiance of states or of classes. And one
sees that Sun Yat-sen, in proposing a democracy, suggested an
ideology which would continue the old Chinese thesis of eventual
popular sovereignty as reconciled with administration by an
intellectually disciplined elite. Each of these three points
prevented Sun from endorsing the intra-national class struggle.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">He regarded the
class struggle, not—as do the Marxians—as a feature of every kind
of economically unequal social organization, but as a pathological
development to be found in disordered societies. He considered the
Marxian teachings in this respect to be as different from really
adequate social doctrines as pathology is from physiology in
medical science. The mobility of the old Chinese society, combined
with the drags imposed by family, village, and <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">hui</span></span>, had resulted in a social
order which by and large was remarkably just. By presenting the
principle of <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> as a
cardinal point in an ideology to be made up of old Chinese
morality, old Chinese knowledge, and Western science, he hoped to
avoid the evils of capitalism in the course of ethically sound
enrichment, development and arrangement of China's
economy.</p><span class="tei tei-pb" id="page194">[pg
194]</span><a name="Pg194" id="Pg194" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">At the same time
Sun was faced with the spectre of imperialism, and had to recognize
that this unjust but effective alliance of economic exploitation
and political subjection was an irreconcilable enemy to Chinese
national freedom. He saw in Russia an ally, and did not see it
figuratively. Years of disappointment had taught him that altruism
is rare in the international financial relations of the modern
world. After seeking everywhere else, he found the Russians, as it
were, on his door-step offering him help. This convinced him as no
theory could have. He regarded Russia as a new kind of power, and
ascribed the general hatred for the Soviet to their stand against
capitalism and imperialism: <span class="tei tei-q">“Then all the
countries of the world grew afraid of Russia. This fear of Russia,
which the different countries entertain at present, is more
terrible than the fear they formerly held, because this policy of
peace not only overthrew the Russian imperialism, but (purposed) to
overthrow also imperialism in the (whole world).”</span><a id=
"noteref_256" name="noteref_256" href="#note_256"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">256</span></span></a> This
fight against imperialism was a good work in the mind of Sun
Yat-sen.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In considering
the principles of Sun more than a decade after they were
pronounced, one cannot permit one's own knowledge of the events of
the last eleven years to make one demand of Sun Yat-sen a similar
background. That would amount to requiring that he be a prophet. At
the time when he spoke of the excellence of Russia he had no reason
to question the good faith of the Communists who were helping him.
It is conceivable that even the Bolsheviks who were aiding and
advising the Nationalists did not realize how soon the parting of
the ways would come, how much the two ideologies differed from one
another, how much each of the two parties endangered the other's
position. At the time Sun spoke, the Communists were his allies in
the struggle against imperialism; <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page195">[pg 195]</span><a name="Pg195" id="Pg195" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> they had agreed from the beginning that China
was a country not suited to communism; and Sun Yat-sen, relying on
them not to use him in some wider policy of theirs, had no cause to
mistrust or fear them. What has happened since is history. Sun
Yat-sen can scarcely be required to have predicted it. His comments
on imperialism, therefore, must be accepted at face value in a
consideration of the nationalist program in his theories.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The method by
means of which Sun reconciled his denial of the superiority of
class to nation is an interesting one, profoundly significant as a
clue to the understanding of his thought. He estimates the
population of the world at 1500 million. Now, of this total 400
million are members of the white race, who constitute the most
powerful and prosperous people in the modern world. <span class=
"tei tei-q">“This white race regards (its 400,000,000
representatives) as the unit which must swallow up the other,
colored races. Thus the Red tribes of America have already been
exterminated.... The Yellow Asiatic race is now oppressed by the
Whites, and it is possible that it will be exterminated before
long.”</span><a id="noteref_257" name="noteref_257" href=
"#note_257"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">257</span></span></a> Thus,
as Sun viewed it, imperialism before the war was racial as well as
economic. The White Peril was a reality. This emphasis on the
doctrine of race shows the emphasis that Sun put upon race once he
had narrowed down the old world-society to the Chinese race-nation.
The most vigorous <span lang="de" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"de"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Rassenpolitiker</span></span>, such as Homer
Lea or Lothrop Stoddard,<a id="noteref_258" name="noteref_258"
href="#note_258"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">258</span></span></a> would
approve heartily of such a <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page196">[pg 196]</span><a name="Pg196" id="Pg196" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> system of calculation in politics. Sun
Yat-sen differed with them, as he differed with the Marxians, and
with the race-theorists in general, by not following any one
Western absolute to the bitter end, whether it was the class war or
the race struggle.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Russia fitted
into this picture of race struggle. One hundred and fifty million
Russians left the camp of the 400 million white oppressors, and
came over to the just side of the 1100 million members of oppressed
nations. Consequently the figures came out somewhat more favorably
for the oppressed, in spite of the fact that the imperialist powers
were still economically and militarily supreme. Sun Yat-sen quoted
an apocryphal remark of Lenin's: <span class="tei tei-q">“There are
in the world two categories of people; one is composed of
1,250,000,000 men and the other of 250,000,000 men. These
1,250,000,000 men are oppressed by the 250,000,000 men. The
oppressors act against nature, and in defiance of her. We who
oppose <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style=
"font-style: italic">might</span></em> are following
her.”</span><a id="noteref_259" name="noteref_259" href=
"#note_259"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">259</span></span></a> Sun
regarded the Russian Revolution as a shift in the race-struggle, in
which Russia had come over to the side of the oppressed nations.
(He did, of course, refer to Germany as an oppressed nation at
another time, but did not include, so far as we can tell, the
German population in the thesis under consideration.)</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">On this basis
China was to join Russia in the class struggle of the nations. The
struggle was to be between the oppressed and the oppressors among
the nations, and not between the races, as it might have been had
not Russia come over to the cause of international equality.<a id=
"noteref_260" name="noteref_260" href="#note_260"><span class=

<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page197">[pg 197]</span><a name=
"Pg197" id="Pg197" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> After the class
struggle of the nations had been done with, the time for the
consideration of cosmopolitanism would have arrived.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In taking class
lines in a scheme of nations, Sun was reconciling the requirements
of the old ideology and the international struggle against
imperialism. It is characteristic of his deep adherence to what he
believed to be the scheme of realities in political affairs that he
did not violate his own well-knit ideology in adopting the Marxian
ideology for the anti-imperialist struggle, but sought to preserve
the marvellous unity of his own society—a society which he believed
to have been the most nearly perfect of its time. The
race-interpretation of the international class struggle is at one
and the same time an assertion of the natural and indestructible
unity of Chinese society, and the recognition of the fact that
China and Russia, together with the smaller nations, had a common
cause against the great advances of modern imperialism.</p>

<span style="font-size: 144%">Racial Nationalism and
Pan-Asia.</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The dual
orientation of Sun Yat-sen's anti-imperialist programs has already
been made partly evident in the examination of this belief in a
class war of the nations. A much more nearly complete exposition of
this doctrine, although with the emphasis on its racial rather than
on its economic aspects, is to be found in the third sub-principle
of the nationalist program: the race-national aspect of the
national revolution. Each of the three principles was to contribute
to this implementation of nationalism. <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page198">[pg 198]</span><a name="Pg198" id="Pg198" class=

nationalism. Democracy was to follow and reinforce political
nationalism, which would clear away the political imperialism and
let the Chinese, inculcated with state-allegiance, really rule
themselves.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">At the end of
his life, even after he had delivered the sixteen lectures on the
three principles, Sun Yat-sen issued another call for the
fulfillment in action of his principle of nationalism. This, too,
praised Russia and stressed the significance of the defection of
Russia from the band of the white oppressing powers; but it is
important as showing the wider implications of Sun Yat-sen's
race-national doctrines. During the greater part of his life, Sun
spoke of the Chinese race-nation alone. His racial theory led him
into no wider implications, such as the political reality of race
kinship. In this last pronouncement, he recognized the wide sweep
of consequences to which his premises of race-reality had led him.
This call was issued in his celebrated Pan-Asiatic Speech of
November 28, 1924, given in Kobe, Japan.<a id="noteref_261" name=
"noteref_261" href="#note_261"><span class=

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The content of
the speech is narrower than the configuration of auxiliary
doctrines which may be discussed in connection with it. These are:
the race orientation of the Chinese race-nation; the possibility of
Pan-Asia; and the necessary function of the future Chinese society
as the protector and teacher of Asia, and of the whole world. These
points in his theoretical program were still far in the future when
he spoke of them, and consequently did not receive much attention.
In the light of the developments of the last several years, and the
continued references to Sun's Pan-Asia which Japanese officials and
propagandists have been making, this part of his program requires
new attention.</p><span class="tei tei-pb" id="page199">[pg

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The speech
itself is a re-statement of the race-class war of the nations. He
points out that <span class="tei tei-q">“It is contrary to justice
and humanity that a minority of four hundred million should oppress
a majority of nine hundred million....”</span><a id="noteref_262"
name="noteref_262" href="#note_262"><span class=

"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">263</span></span></a> He
then goes on to stress the necessity of emulating the material
development of the West not in order to copy the West in politics
and imperialism as well, but solely for the purpose of national
defense. He praises Japan, Turkey, and the Soviet Union as leaders
of the oppressed class of nations and predicts that the time will
come when China will resume the position she once had of a great
and benevolent power. He distinguishes, however, between the
position of China in the past and Great Britain and the United
States in the present. <span class="tei tei-q">“If we look back two
thousand five hundred years, we see that China was the most
powerful people of the world. It then occupied the position which
Great Britain and the United States do today. But while Great
Britain and the United States today are only two of a series of
world powers, China was then the only world power.”</span><a id=

"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">264</span></span></a> Sun
also refers to the significant position of Turkey and Japan as the
two bulwarks of Asia, and emphasizes the strangely just position of
Russia.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In his earlier
days Sun Yat-sen had been preoccupied with Chinese problems, but
not so much so as to prevent <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page200">[pg 200]</span><a name="Pg200" id="Pg200" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> his taking a friendly interest in the
nationalist revolutions of the Koreans against the Japanese, and
the Filipinos against the Americans. This interest seems to have
been a personally political one, rather than a preliminary to a
definition of policy. He said to the Filipinos: <span class=
"tei tei-q">“Let us know one another and we shall love each other
more.”</span><a id="noteref_265" name="noteref_265" href=
"#note_265"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">265</span></span></a> The
transformation of the ideology in China did not necessarily lead to
the development of outside affiliations. The Confucian
world-society, becoming the Chinese race-nation, was to be
independent.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In the
development of his emphasis upon race kinship on the achievement of
race-nationalism, Sun Yat-sen initiated a program which may not be
without great meaning in the furthering of the nationalist program.
He showed that the Chinese race-nation, having racial affinities
with the other Asiatic nations, was bound to them nationally in
policy in two ways: racially, and—as noted—anti-imperialistically.
This theory would permit the Chinese to be drawn into a Pan-Asiatic
movement as well as into an anti-imperialist struggle. This theory
may now be used as a justification for either alternative in the
event of China's having to choose aides in Russo-Japanese conflict.
China is bound to Russia by the theory of the class war of the
nations, but could declare that Russia had merely devised a new
form for imperialism. China is bound to Japan by the common
heritage of Asiatic blood and civilization, but could declare that
Japan had gone over to the <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign"
xml:lang="zh"><span style="font-style: italic">pa tao</span></span>
side of Western imperialism, and prostituted herself to the status
of another Westernized-imperialized aggressive power. Whatever the
interpretations of this <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page201">[pg
201]</span><a name="Pg201" id="Pg201" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
doctrine may be, it will afford the Chinese a basis for their
foreign policy based on the <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">San Min Chu I</span></span>.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">When Sun Yat-sen
spoke, Russia and China had not fought over the Chinese Eastern
Railway and the Chinese Communist problem, nor had Japan and China
entered into the Manchurian conflict. He was therefore in no
position to see that his expressions of approval for Pan-Asianism
and for pro-Soviet foreign policy might conflict. In one breath he
praised Japan as the leader and inspirer of modern Asia, and lauded
Russia as the pioneer in a new, just policy on the part of the
Western powers. He saw little hope that the example of the Soviet
Union would be followed by any other Western power, although he did
state that there was <span class="tei tei-q">“ ... in England and
America a small number of people, who defend these our ideals in
harmony with a general world movement. As far as the other
barbarian nations are concerned, there might be among them people
who are inspired by the same convictions.”</span><a id=
"noteref_266" name="noteref_266" href="#note_266"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">266</span></span></a> The
possibility of finding allies in the West did not appear to be a
great one to Sun Yat-sen.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun did
something in this speech which he had rarely hitherto done. He
generalized about the whole character of the East, and included in
that everything which the Westerners regarded as Eastern, from
Turkey to Japan. We have seen that the Chinese world of Eastern
Asia had little in common with the middle or near East. In this
speech Sun accepted the Western idea of a related Orient and speaks
of Asiatic ideals of kindliness and justice. This is most strange.
<span class="tei tei-q">“If we Asiatics struggle for the creation
of a pan-Asiatic united front, we must consider ... on what
fundamental constitution we wish to erect this united <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page202">[pg 202]</span><a name="Pg202" id="Pg202"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> front. We must lay at the foundations
whatever has been the special peculiarity of our Eastern culture;
we must place our emphasis on moral value, on kindliness and
justice.”</span><a id="noteref_267" name="noteref_267" href=
"#note_267"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">267</span></span></a> This
Pan-Asian doctrine had been the topic of frequent discussion by
Japanese and Russians. The former naturally saw it as a great
resurgency of Asia under the glorious leadership of the Japanese
Throne. The Russians found pan-Asianism to be a convenient
instrument in the national and colonial struggle against
imperialism for communism.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen
joined neither of these particular pan-Asiatic outlooks. The
foreign policy of the Chinese race-nation was to fight oppressors,
and to join the rest of Asia in a struggle against white
imperialist domination. But—here is the distinction—how was China
to do these things? Sun Yat-sen never urged the Chinese to accept
the leadership of the Western or Japanese states, however friendly
they might be. China was to follow a policy of friendship and
coöperation with those powers which were friendly to her and to the
cause of justice throughout the world. Sun praised the old system
of Eastern Asia, by which the peripheral states stood in vassalage
to China, a vassalage which he regarded as mutually voluntary and
not imperialistic in the unpleasant sense of the word.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In the end, he
believed Chinese society should resume the duty which it had held
for so many centuries in relation to its barbarian neighbors. China
should be rightly governed and should set a constant instance of
political propriety. Sun even advocated ultimate intervention by
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page203">[pg 203]</span><a name=
"Pg203" id="Pg203" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> the Chinese, a
policy of helping the weak and lifting up the fallen. He concluded
his sixth lecture on nationalism by saying: <span class=
"tei tei-q">“If we want to <span class="tei tei-q">‘govern the
country rightly and pacify the world,’</span> we must, first of
all, restore our nationalism together with our national standing,
and unify the world on the basis of the morality and peach which
are proper (to us), in order to achieve an ideal
government.”</span><a id="noteref_268" name="noteref_268" href=
"#note_268"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">268</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">We may conclude
that his racial sub-principle in a program of nationalism involved:
1) orientation of Chinese foreign policy on the basis of blood
kinship as well as on the basis of class war of the nations; 2)
advocacy of a pan-Asiatic movement; and 3) use of China's
resurgence of national power to restore the benevolent hegemony
which the Chinese had exercised over Eastern Asia, and possibly to
extend it over the whole world.</p>

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It may be
worthwhile to attempt a view of the nationalist program of Sun
Yat-sen as a whole. The variety of materials covered, and the
intricate system of cross-reference employed by Sun, make it
difficult to summarize this part of his doctrines on a simple
temporal basis. The plans for the advancement of the Chinese
race-nation do not succeed each other in an orderly pattern of
future years, one stage following another. They mirror, rather, the
deep conflict of forces in the mind of Sun, and bring to the
surface of his teachings some of the almost irreconcilable
attitudes and projects which he had to put together. In the
ideological part of his doctrines we do not find such contrasts;
his ideology, a readjustment of the ideology of old China, before
the impact of the new world, to conditions developing after that
impact, is fairly homogeneous and consistent. It does not possess
the rigid and iron-bound consistency required to meet the logic of
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page204">[pg 204]</span><a name=
"Pg204" id="Pg204" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> the West; but, in a
country not given to the following of absolutes, it was as stable
as it needed to be. His programs do not display the same high level
of consistency. They were derived from his ideology, but, in being
derived from it, they had to conform with the realities of the
revolutionary situation in words addressed to men in that
situation. As Wittfogel has said, the contradictions of the actual
situation in China were reflected in the words of Sun Yat-sen;
Marxians, however, would suppose that these contradictions ran
through the whole of the ideology and plans. It may be found that
in the old security transmitted by Sun from the Confucian ideology
to his own, there is little contradiction; in his programs we shall
find much more.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This does not
mean, of course, that Sun Yat-sen planned things which were
inherently incompatible with one another. What he did do was to
advocate courses of action which might possibly have all been
carried out at the same time, but which might much more probably
present themselves as alternatives. His ardor in the cause of
revolution, and his profound sincerity, frequently led him to
over-assess the genuineness of the cordial protestations of others;
he found it possible to praise Japan, Turkey, and the Soviet Union
in the same speech, and to predict the harmonious combination, not
only of the various Asiatic nationalisms with each other, but of
all the nations of Asia with Western international communism. The
advantage, therefore, of the present treatment, which seeks to
dissever the ideology of Sun Yat-sen from his plans, may rest in
large part upon the fact that the ideology, based in the almost
timeless scheme of things in China, depended little upon the
political situations of the moment, while his plans, inextricably
associated with the main currents of the contemporary political
situation, may have been invalidated as plans by the great
political changes that occurred after his death. That is not to
say, <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page205">[pg 205]</span><a name=
"Pg205" id="Pg205" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> however, that his
plans are no longer of importance. The Chinese nationalists may
still refer to them for suggestions as to their general course of
action, should they wish to remain orthodox to the teachings of
Sun. The plans also show how the ideology may be developed with
reference to prevailing conditions.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Clearly, some
changes in the plans will have to be made; some of the changes
which have been made are undoubtedly justified. Now that war
between the Soviet Union and Japan has ceased to be improbable, it
is difficult to think of the coördination of a pan-Asiatic crusade
with a world struggle against imperialism. Chinese nationalists, no
longer on good terms with the Japanese—and on worse terms with the
Communists—must depend upon themselves and upon their own nation
much more than Sun expected. At the time of his death in 1925 the
Japanese hostility to the Kuomintang, which became so strikingly
evident at Tsinanfu in 1928-9, and the fundamental incompatibility
of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China, had not
manifested themselves. On the other hand, he could not have
foreseen that the imperialist nations, by no means cordial to the
Chinese Nationalists, would become as friendly to the Chinese
nationalism as they have. The United States, for instance, while
not acting positively against the political restrictions of Western
imperialism (including its own) in China, has been friendly to the
Nanking government, and as far as a rigid policy of neutrality
permitted it, took the side of China against Japan in the
Manchurian conflict in and after 1931. Such developments cannot
easily be reconciled to the letter of the plans of Sun Yat-sen,
and, unless infallibility is expected of him, there is no reason
why they should.</p><span class="tei tei-pb" id="page206">[pg

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">His plans
possess an interest far more than academic. It is not the province
of this work to judge the degree to which the Nationalists carried
out the doctrines of Sun, nor to assess the relative positions of
such leaders as Chiang Chieh-shih and Wang Ching-wei with respect
to orthodoxy. The plans may be presented simply as a part of the
theory of Sun Yat-sen, and where there is possibility of
disagreement, of his theory in its final and most authoritative
stage: the sixteen lectures of 1924, and the other significant
writings of the last years of his life.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The first part

nationalism—may be more easily digested in outline form:</p>

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This
recapitulation serves to show the curious developments of Sun
Yat-sen's nationalist program. Originally based upon his ideology,
then influenced by the race-orientation of a good deal of his
political thought, and finally reconciled to the programmatic
necessities of his Communist allies, it is surprising not in its
diversity but in its homogeneity under the circumstances. This
mixture of elements, which appears much more distinctly in Sun's
own words than it does in a rephrasing, led some Western students
who dealt with Sun to believe that his mind was a cauldron filled
with a political witch-brew. If it is remembered that the points
discussed were programmatic points, which changed with the various
political developments encountered by Sun and his followers, and
not the fundamental premises of his thought and action (which
remained surprisingly constant, as far as one can judge, throughout
his life), the inner consistency of Sun Yat-sen will appear. These
plans could not have endured under any circumstances, since they
were set in a particular time. The ideology may.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In turning from
the nationalist to the democratic plans of Sun Yat-sen, we
encounter a distinct change in the type of material. Orderly and
precise instead of chaotic and near-contradictory, the democratic
plans of Sun Yat-sen <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page208">[pg
208]</span><a name="Pg208" id="Pg208" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
present a detailed scheme of government based squarely on his

the soundest, part of Sun's work.</p>

<span style="font-size: 144%">The Three Stages of
Revolution.</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen's
doctrine of the three stages of revolution attracted a considerable
degree of attention. By the three stages of the revolution he meant
(1) the acquisition of political power by the teachers of the new
ideology (the revolution), (2) the teaching of the new ideology
(tutelage), and (3) the practice of government by the people in
accord with the new ideology (constitutional democracy). Enough of
Sun Yat-sen's teaching concerning the new ideology has been shown
to make clear that this proposal is merely a logical extension of
his doctrine of the three classes of men.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Western writers
who have acquainted themselves with the theory seem, in some
instances, inclined to identify it with the Marxist theory of the
dictatorship of the proletariat, into which the proletarian
revolution is to be divided into three stages—the conquest of
political power by the masses; the dictatorship of the proletariat;
and the inauguration (in the remote future) of the non-governmental
class-less society.<a id="noteref_269" name="noteref_269" href=
"#note_269"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">269</span></span></a> It
scarcely seems necessary to go so far afield to discover the origin
of the theory. As a matter of record, Sun Yat-sen made his earliest
recorded announcement of this theory in 1905, when he was not at
all under the influence of Marxism, although he was acquainted
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page210">[pg 210]</span><a name=
"Pg210" id="Pg210" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> with it.<a id=
"noteref_270" name="noteref_270" href="#note_270"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">270</span></span></a>
Finally, the theory forms so necessary a link between his theory of
Kuomintang control of the revolution, and his equally insistent
demand for ultimate democracy, that it may be regarded as a
logically necessary part of his complete plan. The coincidence
between his and the Marxian theories would consequently appear as a
tribute to his acumen; this was the view that the Communists took
when they discovered that Sun Yat-sen was afraid of the weaknesses
of immediate democracy in a country not fit for it.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">One might also
observe that, once the premise of revolution for a purpose is
accepted, the three stages fit well into the scheme of age-old
traditional political thought advocated by the Confucians.
Confucius did not see the value of revolution, although he condoned
it in specific instances. He did, however, believe in tutelage and
looked forward to an age when the ideology would have so
impregnated the minds of men that <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style="font-style: italic">ta
t'ung</span></span> (the Confucian Utopia) would be reached, and,
presumably, government would become superfluous. That which Sun
sought to achieve by revolution—the placing of political power in
the hands of the ideological reformers (or, in the case of the
Marxist theory, the proletariat, actually the Communist party, its
trustee)—Confucius sought, not by advocating a general conspiracy
of scholars for an oligarchy of the intellectuals, but the more
peaceful method of urging princes to take the advice of scholars in
government, so that the ideology could be established (by the
introduction of <span class="tei tei-q">“correct names,”</span>
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">chêng ming</span></span>) and ideological
control introduced.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The three stages
of revolution may resemble Communist doctrine; they may have been
influenced by Confucian teaching; whatever their origin, they play
an extremely important part in the doctrines of Sun Yat-sen, and in
the <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page211">[pg 211]</span><a name=
"Pg211" id="Pg211" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> politics springing
from his principles. If the Kuomintang is the instrument of the
revolution, the three stages are its process. The clearest
exposition of this theory of the three stages is found in
<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">The

which Sun Yat-sen issued in 1924:</p>

</div>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen was
emphatic about the necessity of a period of tutelage. The dismal
farce of the first Republic in 1912, when the inexperience and
apathy of the people, coupled with the venality of the militarists
and politicians, very nearly discredited Chinese democracy,
convinced Sun Yat-sen that effective self-government could be built
up only as the citizens became ready for it. A considerable number
of the disputes concerning the theory of self-government to be
employed by the policy-making groups of the National
(Kuomintang-controlled) Government have centered on the point of
criteria for self-government. Even with the insertion of a
transition stage, and with a <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page213">[pg 213]</span><a name="Pg213" id="Pg213" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> certain amount of tutelage, difficulties are
being encountered in the application of this theory of the
introduction of constitutional government as soon as the people in
a <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">hsien</span></span> are
prepared for it. Other considerations, military or political, may
make any venture beyond the secure confines of a benevolent Party
despotism dangerous; and the efficacy of tutelage can always be
questioned. The period of tutelage was set for 1930-1935; it is
possible, however, that the three stages cannot be gone through as
quickly as possible, since the Japanese invasions and the world
economic depression exercised a thoroughly disturbing influence
throughout the country.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">A final point
may be made with regard to the three stages of the revolution as
Sun Yat-sen planned them. Always impetuous and optimistic in
revolutionary endeavor, Sun Yat-sen expected that the military
conquest would be rapid, the period of tutelage continue a few
years, and constitutional democracy endure for ages, until in the
end <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">ta t'ung</span></span> should
reign upon earth. The transition period was not, as in the theory
of the Confucians and the Marxians, an indefinite period beginning
with the present and leading on down to the age of the
near-perfection of humanity. It was to Sun Yat-sen, in his more
concrete plans, an interval between the anarchy and tyranny of the
warlord dictatorships and the coming of Nationalist democracy. It
was not a scheme of government in itself.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">To recapitulate:
Sun Yat-sen believed that revolution proceeded or should proceed by
three stages—the (military) revolution proper; the period of
tutelage; and the period of constitutional democracy. His theory
resembles the Communist, although it provides for a dictatorship of
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page214">[pg 214]</span><a name=
"Pg214" id="Pg214" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> the patriotic elite
(Kuomintang) and not of any one class such as the proletariat; it
also resembles the Confucian with respect to the concepts of
tutelage and eventual harmony. Military conquest was to yield
swiftly to tutelage; tutelage was to lead, <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">hsien</span></span> by <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">hsien</span></span>, into democracy. With the
establishment of democracy in more than one-half of the provinces,
constitutional government was to be inaugurated and the expedient
of Party dictatorship dispensed with.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This theory,
announced as early as 1905, Sun did not insist upon when the first
Republic was proclaimed in 1912, with the tragic results which the
history of that unfortunate experiment shows. In the experience
derived from that great enthusiasm, Sun appreciated the necessity
of knowledge before action. He was willing to defer the enjoyment
of democracy until the stability of the democratic idea in the
minds of the people was such that they could be entrusted with the
familiar devices of Western self-government.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">What kind of a
democratic organization did Sun Yat-sen propose to develop in China
on the basis of his Nationalist and democratic ideology? Having
established the fundamental ideas of national unity, and the
national self-control, and having allowed for the necessity of an
instrument of revolution—the Kuomintang—and a process of
revolution—the three stages, what mechanisms of government did Sun
advocate to permit the people of China to govern themselves in
accord with the Three Principles?</p>

<span style="font-size: 144%">The Adjustment of Democracy to
China.</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It is apparent
that, even with tutelage, the democratic techniques of the West
could impair the attainment of democracy in China were they applied
in an unmodified form, and without concession to the ideological
and institutional <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page215">[pg
215]</span><a name="Pg215" id="Pg215" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
backgrounds of the Chinese. The Westerner need only contemplate the
political structure of the Roman Republic to realize how much this
modern democracy is the peculiar institution of his race, bred in
his bone and running, sacred and ancient, deep within his mind. The
particular methods of democracy, so peculiarly European, which the
modern—that is, Western or Westernized—world employs, is no less
alien to the imperial anarchy of traditional China than is the
Papacy. Sun Yat-sen, beholding the accomplishments of the West in
practical matters, had few illusions about the excellence of
democratic shibboleths, such as parliamentarism or liberty, and was
profoundly concerned with effecting the self-rule of the Chinese
people without leading them into the labyrinth of a strange and
uncongenial political system.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In advocating
democracy he did not necessarily advocate the adoption of strange
devices from the West. While believing, as we have seen, in the
necessity of the self-rule of the Chinese race-nation, he by no
means desired to take over the particular parliamentary forms which
the West had developed.<a id="noteref_272" name="noteref_272" href=

he said later, in speaking of the democracy of the first Republic:
<span class="tei tei-q">“China wanted to be in line with foreign
countries and to practice democracy; accordingly she set up her
representative government. But China has not learned anything about
the good sides of representative governments in Europe and in
America, and as to the bad sides of these governments, they have
increased tenfold, a hundredfold in China, even to the point of
making swine, filthy and corrupt, out of government
representatives, a thing which has not been witnessed in other
countries since the days of antiquity. This is truly a peculiar
phenomenon of representative government. Hence, China not only
failed to learn well anything from the democratic governments of
other countries, but she learned evil practices from
them.”</span><a id="noteref_274" name="noteref_274" href=
"#note_274"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">274</span></span></a> This
farce-democracy was as bad as no government at all. Sun Yat-sen had
to reject any suggestion that China imitate the example of some of
the South American nations in borrowing the American Constitution
and proclaiming a <span class="tei tei-q">“United States of
China.”</span> The problem was not to be solved so easily.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In approaching
Sun Yat-sen's solution the Western student must again remember two
quite important distinctions between the democracy of Sun Yat-sen
and the democracy of the West. Sun Yat-sen's principle of
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min ch'üan</span></span> was the self-control
of the whole people first, and a government by the mass of
individuals making up the people secondarily. The Chinese social
system was well enough organized to permit the question of
democracy to be a question of the nation as a whole, rather than a
question of the reconciliation of particular interests within the
nation. Special interests already found their outlet in
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page217">[pg 217]</span><a name=
"Pg217" id="Pg217" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> the recognized
social patterns—so reminiscent of the institutions envisaged by the
pluralists—of the ancient order. In the second place, China was
already a society which was highly organized socially, although
politically in ruins; the democratic government that Sun Yat-sen
planned had infinitely less governing to do than did Western
governments. The new Nationalist government had to fit into rather
than supplant the old order. As a consequence of these
distinctions, one may expect to find much less emphasis on the
exact methods of popular control of the government than one would
in a similar Western plan; and one must anticipate meeting the
ancient devices and offices which the usage of centuries had
hallowed and made true to the Chinese.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">One may find
that democracy in China is not so radical a novelty as it might at
first thought be esteemed. A figure of speech, which somewhat
anticipates the exposition, may serve to prepare one for some of
the seeming omissions of Sun Yat-sen's plan for a democracy. The
suggestion is this: that the democracy of Sun Yat-sen is, roughly,
a modernization of the old Imperial system, with the Emperor (as
the head of the academic civil service) removed, and the majority
placed in his stead. Neither in the old system nor in the new were
the minorities the object of profound concern, for, to the Chinese,
the notion of a minority (as against the greater mass of the
tradition-following people) is an odd one. The rule of the Son of
Heaven (so far as it was government at all) was to be replaced by
the rule of the whole people (<span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min</span></span>, which is more similar to
the German <span lang="de" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"de"><span style="font-style: italic">Volk</span></span> than the
English <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style=
"font-style: italic">people</span></em>). The first Sun Yat-sen
called monarchy; the second, democracy.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The old ideology
was to yield to the new, but even the new as a review of it has
shown, was not broad enough completely to supplant the old. The
essential continuity <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page218">[pg
218]</span><a name="Pg218" id="Pg218" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
of Chinese civilization was not to be broken. Democracy as a
Western institution could be nothing more than a sham, as the
parliaments at Peking had showed; democracy in China had to be not
only democracy, but Chinese as well.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It is not,
therefore, extraordinarily strange to find the ancient institutions
of the Empire surviving by the side of the most extreme methods of
popular government. The censorate and the referendum, the
examination system and the recall, all could work together in the
democracy planned by Sun Yat-sen. Even with the idea of popular
rule adopted in the formal Western manner, Sun Yat-sen proposed to
continue the idea of natural and ineradicable class differences
between men. The Chinese democracy was not to be any mere imitation
of the West; it was to be the fundamentally new fusion of Chinese
and Western methods, and offered as the solution for the political
readjustment of the Chinese society in a world no longer safe for
it.</p>

<span style="font-size: 144%">The Four Powers.</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen
divided all men into three categories: the geniuses, the followers,
and the unthinking. To reconcile this theory of natural inequality
with democracy, he distinguished between <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">ch'üan</span></span>, the right to rule as
sovereign, and <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">nêng</span></span>, the right
to administer as an official. He furthermore considered the state
similar to a machine. How should the unthinking, who would possess
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">ch'üan</span></span>, the right to rule, be
granted that right without attempting to usurp <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">nêng</span></span>?</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This was to be
accomplished by two means. The Four Powers were to be given to the
people, in order to assure their possession of <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">ch'üan</span></span>. The Five Rights were to
assure that the government might be protected in its right to
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">nêng</span></span>, in its right to have only
the most competent officials. Together the Four Powers and the Five
Rights implement <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page219">[pg
219]</span><a name="Pg219" id="Pg219" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> a
scheme of government so novel that Sun Yat-sen himself believed it
to be a definite contribution to political method. The learned
Jesuit translator of the <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">San Min Chin I</span></span> does not even
term it democracy, but neo-democracy instead.<a id="noteref_275"
name="noteref_275" href="#note_275"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">275</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The Four Powers
represent an almost extreme limit of popular control. Sun Yat-sen
divided the four into two groups: the first two are powers of the
people over the administrators—the power of election and the power
of recall; the second two are powers of the people over the
laws—the power of initiative and the power of referendum. Having
secured the government from undue interference, Sun Yat-sen had no
reluctance in giving these powers to the people. He said:
<span class="tei tei-q">“As for our China, since she had no old
democratic system, she ought to be able to make very good use of
this most recent and excellent invention.”</span><a id=
"noteref_276" name="noteref_276" href="#note_276"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">276</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">These four
powers are perhaps the most Western element in the whole theory of
Sun. History does not record the technique by which the Chinese
chose Yao to be their Emperor, and even where actions comparable to
elections were performed, it was not by use of the ballot-box or
the voting machine, or drilling on an appointed field. The Chinese
way of getting things done never tended that much to formality. A
man who wanted to be a village head might be quietly chosen head by
a cabal of the most influential persons, or at a meeting of many of
the villagers. He might even decide to be head, and act as head, in
the hope that people would pay attention to him and think that he
was head. The Four Powers represent <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page220">[pg 220]</span><a name="Pg220" id="Pg220" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> a distinct innovation in Chinese politics
for, apart from a few ridiculous comic-opera performances under the
first Republic, and the spurious plebiscite on the attempted
usurpation of Yüan Shih-k'ai, the voting method has been a
technique unknown in China. It is distinctly Western.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Another
distinction may be made with a certain degree of reservation and
hesitancy. It is this: the Chinese, without the elaborate system of
expedient fictions which the West terms juristic law, were and are
unable to conceive of corporate action. A law passed by the Peking
parliament was not passed by the dictator in parliament, or the
people in parliament; it was simply passed by parliament, and was
parliament's responsibility. The only kind of law that the people
could pass would be one upon which they themselves had voted.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Seen in this
light, the Four Powers assume a further significance greater than
the Western political scientist might attribute to them. In America
there is little difference between a law which the people of Oregon
pass in the legislature, and one which they pass in a referendum.
To the Chinese there is all the difference in the world. The one is
an act of the government, and not of the people; the other, the act
of the people, and not of the government. The people may have
powers over the government, but never, by the wildest swing of
imagination, can they discover themselves personified in it. A
Chinese democracy is almost a dyarchy of majority and officialdom,
the one revising and checking the other.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen did
not comment on the frequency with which he expected these powers to
be exercised, nor has the political development of democratic China
gone far enough to afford any test of experience; it is
consequently impossible to state whether these powers were to be,
or shall be, exercised constantly as a matter of course, or whether
they shall be employed by the people only as <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page221">[pg 221]</span><a name="Pg221" id="Pg221"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> courses for emergency action, when the
government arouses their displeasure. The latter seems the more
probable, in view of the background of Chinese tradition, and the
strong propensities of the Chinese to avoid getting involved in
anything which does not concern them immediately and personally.
This probability is made the more plausible by the self-corrective
devices in the governmental system, which may seem to imply that an
extensive use of the popular corrective power was not contemplated
by Sun Yat-sen.</p>

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen
implemented his theory of democracy by assigning Four Powers to the
people and Five Rights to the government. This latter doctrine is
one of the most disputed points in his proposal. Some writers see
in it nothing more than a crass conjunction of the theory of
Montesquieu and the practices of the Chinese Imperial system.<a id=

believed that in separating the Five Rights from one another he
would make clear certain differentiations <span class="tei tei-pb"
id="page223">[pg 223]</span><a name="Pg223" id="Pg223" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> of function which had led to numberless
disputes in the past, and would present to the world a model
government.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Thus far, the
Five Rights seem the complement of the Four Powers. The two sets of
controls, of people over the government, and of the government over
the people, assure China that a neo-democratic administration will
have no less continuity and power than did its Imperial
predecessor, and nevertheless be subject to the will of the
majority of the four hundred odd million sovereigns. Contemplated
in this manner, the Five Rights are an amalgamation of the Western
theory upon the Chinese, and significant as a novelty in democratic
administrative theory rather than as institutions altering the
fundamental premises and methods of democracy.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">If, however, a
further step is taken, and the Five Powers are associated with Sun
Yat-sen's doctrine of the three naturally unequal classes of men,
they assume a somewhat less superficial significance. If the rule
of the people is placed over the administration by the geniuses,
the geniuses must be assured a method of entering the government
service. The oligarchy of the intellectuals is to be reconciled
with the dictatorship of the majority. The old Chinese system of a
trained class of scholars, entrance to which was open on a
competitive system to members of almost all classes of society, had
to be preserved in the new China, and at the same time disciplined
and purified of unworthy or unsuitable elements, while
simultaneously subject to the policy-making authority of the
majority.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The preservation
of a leader class was to be assured by an examination division in
the new democratic government, and its purification and discipline
continued by a supervisory or censoring division. The
administrative setup of the nationalist democracy would appear as
follows, <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page224">[pg

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It is an
illustration of the further difference between the democracy of Sun
Yat-sen and Western democracy, that each of the divisions, even the
legislative, was to have a single head. The whole government was to
be departmentally, not camerally, organized.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The system of
Five Powers emphasizes the implied dyarchy of government and people
in the <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">San Min Chu I</span></span> by assigning to
the government itself functions which, in the usual course of
events, are supposed to be exercised by the people themselves in
Western democracies. The people are supposed to eliminate unfit
officials and decide on the merits and trustworthiness of
incumbents. By the expedient of non-reëlection, the people are
supposed to remove officials, who are incapable or unsuitable for
public office. The two functions have been taken over by the
Examination and Control Yuans, respectively; the Four Powers of the
people are not, in all probability, instruments for continual
popular intrigue and meddling in government, but almost
revolutionary implements for shifting the course or composition of
the government.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The Five Rights
are instruments for the self-government of the official class
(Examination and Control), and for the government of the people by
the official class (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial). The Four
Powers are the instruments for the government of the official class
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page225">[pg 225]</span><a name=
"Pg225" id="Pg225" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> by the people. Out
of the checks and balances of government and people the integrity,
efficacy, and stability of Sun Yat-sen's democracy was to be
assured.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The exercise of
the Four Rights of the people could, in the theory of Sun Yat-sen,
be used to check the development of an arrogant, inefficient or
irresponsible bureaucracy, in that the people would assist in the
selection of officials and would be able to remove incompetents at
any time. The civil service mechanism of the government would, on
the other hand, resist the too free play of popular caprice. No
incompetent person would be elected to office, since the civil
service would extend even to elective offices. The voters could
remove a bad official but they could not replace him with an
untrained person; they would have to select their candidate from
the roster of scholar-officials eligible for the rank of the office
in question. The people were to supervise the operations of the
age-old Chinese civil service, as revivified by the nationalists;
they were to appoint and remove officers, to repeal and enact laws;
but in no case were they to tear down the structure of the civil
service and inaugurate a spoils democracy such as that found in the
United States. This blending of extreme democracy and traditional
administrative hierarchy would result, said Sun Yat-sen, in perfect
government.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The democratic
nationalist government was to supersede the Empire. In between
there was no central government, since the various military leaders
paid scant respect to the unfortunate clique of diplomats and
officials who carried on the few functions left to the powerless
Peking government.<a id="noteref_280" name="noteref_280" href=

"page226">[pg 226]</span><a name="Pg226" id="Pg226" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> so much a new political order to be set up in
place of the old as a political order to be built up out of
military chaos. The social system, although shaken and affected by
Western ideas, continued much as usual, and was to be woven into
the new socio-political patterns that Sun Yat-sen projected.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The Nationalist
government was to be the nation's answer to the foreign aggression.
The White Peril, which had flooded Asia, could only be held back by
the dykes of a militant nationalist movement, expressing itself in
a formal state such as the Westerners themselves had developed, and
which fitted them to undertake the conquest of the world. This
government was to be the agent of the whole Chinese people who,
casting off the oppression of the militarists and the imperialists,
was to rise again with its ancient power, formidable and ready to
fight if necessary, more ready to bring about world-coöperation and
peace if possible. It was to be a government made up of a trained
officialdom such as ancient China had possessed for centuries,
which had led to the integration of control and culture (in the
narrowest sense of the word), and of a people ruling by checking
that officialdom: an all-powerful state-machine ruled by an
all-powerful people.<a id="noteref_281" name="noteref_281" href=
"#note_281"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=

state was to appear in the world of states and enclose the Chinese
people, by political power, more effectively than could the Great
Wall.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This aspect of
democracy, the self-rule of the Chinese society <span class=
"tei tei-foreign"><span style=
"font-style: italic">vis-à-vis</span></span> the linked despotism
of militarists, renegades and imperialists, was, although the most
important facet of democracy, not the whole story. In order to
systematize the loose democracy of old China, in order to
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page227">[pg 227]</span><a name=
"Pg227" id="Pg227" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> lead all force to
the top, where it could be exerted outwards, the democratic plan
had to plan links with the traditional system. The government could
not be democratic if it were not tied to the people. The people
could not govern themselves, as apart from governing the
officialdom making up the National government, unless they had
mechanisms with which to do so. Although the family, the
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">hui</span></span> and the <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">hsien</span></span> provided self-government,
this self-government had to be associated with the scheme of
nationalist and national self-government in order to guarantee the
latter's effectiveness. Beyond or beneath the national democracy of
China there was to be a system of democracy (the politicalization,
as it were, of the old social organs) running through society. What
these separate or subordinate organs were to be, what relations
they were to have with the national government, and what other
intermediate institutions were to facilitate those relations must
be studied to gain a complete picture of the democracy of Sun
Yat-sen.</p>

Centralism.</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">One of the most
involved questions in the political thought of the Chinese
revolution has been the problem of provincial autonomy. The Chinese
provinces differ considerably more from one another in economic
conditions, language and race than do the American states; it has
been said that one of the causes of the overthrow of the Manchu
monarchy was the encroachment of the Imperial central power, in its
last desperate attempts to modernize itself and cope with the last
crisis, upon the old autonomy of the provinces.<a id="noteref_282"
name="noteref_282" href="#note_282"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">282</span></span></a>
Institutionally, the provinces were relatively independent; this
degree of independence was, however, minimized by the general
unimportance of government <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page228">[pg 228]</span><a name="Pg228" id="Pg228" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> in Chinese society. The Chinese, toward each
other, feel conscious of family, village and provincial ties; face
to face with the foreigners, they are beginning to know themselves
as Chinese. Until the wave of nationalism swept the country,
provincial rivalry was a live issue; even today, it cannot be
called forgotten.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen's
opinions on many points of government remained stable through his
life. The fundamental ideas and ideals seem to have been expanded,
rather than changed, as his theory met the test of his growing
experience and the lessons of the revolution; but even with
expansion, they remain, for the most part, consistent. Sun Yat-sen
was steadfast in his beliefs.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This cannot be
said of his and his successors' opinions on the problem of province
versus nation. There is no one doctrine dealing with the question
of provincial autonomy. There may be a trend, however, which can be
described as a swing from definite emphasis upon the province
toward neglect of that unit of administration. This trend may be
illustrated by several points.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">At the time of
the first Republic the provinces were treated much as are states in
the United States. The members of the Senate of the Republic
(<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Ts'an Yi
Yuan</span></span>) were to be elected by the Assemblies of the
provinces, and, when representing persons not under the
jurisdiction of a provincial Assembly, by Electoral Colleges. The
House of Representatives was to be elected directly by the people,
in the proportion of one member to each eight hundred thousand of
population, with the reservation—again in propitiation of
provincial vanity—that no province should have less than ten
representatives.<a id="noteref_283" name="noteref_283" href=

<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page229">[pg 229]</span><a name=
"Pg229" id="Pg229" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> first Republic was
distinctly federal although by no means confederate.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen did
not immediately shift from this position. As late as 1919-1922,
when he was preparing his official biography, he spoke
enthusiastically to his biographer of the potentialities of
democratic provincial home rule.<a id="noteref_284" name=
"noteref_284" href="#note_284"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">284</span></span></a> He
still believed in the importance of the provinces as units of a
future democracy in China.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">From the time
that Sun went South, and the Kuomintang was reorganized, to the
present, the tendency in the Sun-Kuomintang theory seems to have
been toward minimization of the importance of the provinces in the
democracy to be set up. The Party Declaration of the Kuomintang at
its First National Convention in 1924 in Canton criticised several
political viewpoints prevalent; among these was that of the
Confederalists, so called. The Declaration states, in part:
<span class="tei tei-q">“Undoubtedly regional self-government is in
entire accord with the spirit of democracy and is a great need of
our nation. But a true regional self-government can be realized
only when our national independence is won, for without national
freedom, local freedom is impossible.... Many social, economic and
political problems facing the individual provinces can be solved
only by the nation as a whole. So the success of the peoples'
revolution is a prerequisite to the realization of provincial
autonomy.”</span><a id="noteref_285" name="noteref_285" href=

himself stated, a few months earlier, a point of view which may
seem inconsistent with the Party Declaration:</p><span class=

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Whatever the
occasion for the slight difference of opinion, it has been the
policy of the Kuomintang to emphasize <span lang="zh" class=

units of self-government. The Party itself is quite centralized.
The Resumé of the Kuomintang Third National Congress Resolutions

unequivocally: <span class="tei tei-q">“The traditional policy of
attaching greater importance to provincial government than to
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=

must be corrected or even reversed.”</span> It adds, <span class=

act only as a supervisor of local self-government, standing in
between the <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The province is
thus reduced to the lowest possible level. It is not probable that
this tendency was influenced by Marxism, but it certainly resembled
the Marxian idea of a vast confederation of self-governing

centralized instrument of revolution.<a id="noteref_288" name=

the authoritative one, and is quite harmonious with the earlier
picture of Imperial China which, apart from the strictly
governmental, was a vast confederacy of largely autonomous
communities. In the picture of the new democratic national
government which emerges from this doctrine, the central government
may be regarded as a centralism versus the provinces, and a
super-government in relation to the <span lang="zh" class=

the few doctrines of Sun Yat-sen upon which no one definitive and

consequently, recourse must be had to the history of the
development of the Sun Yat-sen political philosophy.</p>

gleaned from the fact that China has approximately four hundred

that the Chinese social system has been so elastic as to permit the

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun once quoted
the old Chinese proverb about the Lu Shan (mountains): <span class=

reader this proverb could be turned against Sun in his treatment of

passionately emphatic in discussing the importance of the

assumed the importance of the <span lang="zh" class=

any cardinal point of it.</p>

any elaborate set-up from officialdom. Apart from its age-old
importance, it will gain further significance in the democracy of
Sun Yat-sen.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Some of the

course Sun understood the extraordinary part that the family plays
in China—a part more conspicuous, perhaps, than in any other
country. He pointed out that the family required in China much of
the loyalty which in the West is given to the state. <span class=
"tei tei-q">“Among the Chinese people the family and kinship ties
are very strong. Not infrequently the people sacrifice their lives
and homes for some affair of kinship; for instance, in Kuangtung,
two clans may fight regardless of life and property. On the other
hand, our people hesitate to sacrifice themselves for a national
cause. The spirit of unity has not extended beyond the family and
clan relationships.”</span><a id="noteref_292" name="noteref_292"

"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">293</span></span></a> How
did Sun Yat-sen propose to join the strength of the family spirit
and of nationalism, to the common advantage?</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">He planned to
reorganize the already existing clan organizations in each
district. These organizations have existed from time immemorial for
the purposes of preserving <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page234">[pg 234]</span><a name="Pg234" id="Pg234" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> clan unity, commemorating clan ancestry,
performing charitable functions, and acting as a focus—although
this last was not an avowed purpose—for clan defense. The
reorganization which Sun proposed would probably have involved some
systematizing of the organization for the purposes of uniformity
and official record, as well as effectiveness.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Once the
district headquarters were reorganized, they could be combined
throughout a province into a provincial clan organization. Such
organizations already exist, but they are neither systematic nor
general. After the clan was organized on a provincial basis
throughout the provinces, the various provincial organizations
could be gathered together in a national clan organization.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It is only when
one contemplates the strength of the family system in China that
the boldness of this plan becomes apparent. A series of vast
national clan organizations would include practically every
Chinese. Not content with this, Sun proposed inter-clan
organizations, certain clans being more related to one another. A
further series of national inter-clan organizations would draw
together the allegiance of numberless individuals. There was always
the possibility that a convention of all the clans might be
called—although Sun was not sanguine about this last.<a id=
"noteref_294" name="noteref_294" href="#note_294"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">294</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This
methodology, according to Sun Yat-sen, would automatically bring
about nationalism. The Chinese people were already vigorously
attached to their families and clans. A union of all the families
and clans would lead the Chinese to realize that they were one
people—one enormous family, as it were—and cause them to
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page235">[pg 235]</span><a name=
"Pg235" id="Pg235" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> join together as a
nation. Since there are only about four hundred surnames in China,
the alliance of the clans was not so far-fetched a suggestion as it
might seem. Some clans have a membership running into the millions,
and clan spirit is so great that, in spite of the absence of
legislation, the Chinese marriage system is still largely exogamic
on this clan basis.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The suggestion
of clan organization is relevant to Sun Yat-sen's democracy, in
that the clan was one of the democratizing influences in old China.
An individual who failed to exert appreciable pressure on the
government, or on some other group, might appeal to his clan for
assistance. The Chinese record of relationships was kept so
extensively that there were few men of wealth or power who did not
have their kinsmen commanding their assistance. The non-political
authority of the family system controlled many things which have
been within the scope of the police power in the West, and the
adjustments of society and the individual were frequently mitigated
in their harshness by the entrance of the clan upon the scene. A
stable Chinese democracy with a clan system would be remarkably
like the traditional system. The recourse of political democracy
would have been added, but the familiar methods of political
pressure upwards through the clan to the government might, not
inconceivably, prove the more efficacious.</p>

nationalistic economic revolution, a deliberate industrial

avoid the necessity of class war. Since Chinese society was to be
revolutionized by the development of a nation and a state, with all
that that implied, and was to be changed by a transition from a
handicraft economy to an industrial one, Sun Yat-sen hoped that
these changes would permit the social revolution to develop at the
same time as the others, and did not plan for it separately and
distinctly. The three revolutions, all of them economic, were to
develop simultaneously, and all together were to form a third of
the process of readjustment.</p>

the actual plans for carrying out the <span lang="zh" class=

to the ideologies of nationalism and democracy, and in connection
with such foreign philosophies as capitalism and Marxism, has
already been set forth. The direct plans that Sun Yat-sen had for
the industrial revolution in China are also clear, since he
outlined them, laboriously although tentatively, in <span class=

the actual physical blueprints can be understood clearly enough,
the general lines of practical governmental policy with regard to
economic matters have not been formulated in such a way as to make
them indisputable.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen was
averse to tying the hands of his followers and successors with
respect to economic policy. He said: <span class="tei tei-q">“While
there are many undertakings which can be conducted by the State
with advantage, others cannot be conducted effectively except under
competition. I have no hard-and-fast dogma. Much must be left to
the lessons of experience.”</span><a id="noteref_296" name=

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It would be
inexpedient to go into details about railway lines and other modern
industrial enterprises by means of which Sun sought to modernize
China. On the other hand, it would be a waste of time merely to
repeat the main economic theses of the new ideology. Accordingly,
the examination of the program of <span lang="zh" class=

indirectly, or which had an important bearing upon the proposed
future social organization of the Chinese. Among the topics to be
discussed are the political nature of the national economic
revolution, the political effect of the industrial revolution upon
the Chinese, and the expediency of Sun's plans for that revolution;
the nature of the social revolution which was to accompany these
two first, especially with reference to the problem of land, the
problem of capital, and the problem of the class struggle; the
sphere of state action in the new economy; and the nature of that
ideal economy which would be realized when the Chinese should have
carried to completion the programs of <span lang="zh" class=

to be the most necessary and the most difficult. In the change from
a world-society to a race-nation, the Chinese had their own social
solidarity and the experience of the Western nations to guide them.
There was little in the development of a nation that had not
already been tried elsewhere. The only real obstacles were the
ignorance of the people, in relation to the new social environment
in which their whole society was involved, and the possibility of
opposition from the politically oppressing powers.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In the
development of democracy the Chinese could rely in part upon the
experience of the West. The Kuomintang could observe the machinery
of democratic states in regular operation abroad. Although the new
democracy of the five powers and the four rights was differed from
the democratic methods of the West, still, as in mechanics, certain
fundamental rules of political organization in its technical
details could be relied upon. The Chinese people had a democratic
background in the autonomy of the various extra-political
units.</p>

<span style="font-size: 144%">The National Economic
Revolution.</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">After the
pitiable failure of the 1912 Republic, Sun Yat-sen began to place
an especially heavy emphasis on the necessity of a national
economic revolution which would carry on the achievements of the
national political revolution. He placed an even greater stress
upon the necessity of <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign"
xml:lang="zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min
shêng</span></span> in the revolutionary ideology, and became more
and more clearly conscious of the danger imperialism constituted to
the Chinese race-nation. He believed that, as the 1912 revolution
had been created by the sword, the new economic revolution might be
furthered by the pen, and with this in mind he wrote <span class=
"tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">The International
Development of China</span></span>. At the time that he wrote this
work, he seems to have been convinced of the fruitlessness of
purely military effort, and the superior value of pacific economic
organization.<a id="noteref_299" name="noteref_299" href=
"#note_299"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">299</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This
organization was to be effected through capital brought in from the
outside. As it developed that capital would not come in, that
instead of continuing the terrific pace of production which the
World War had demanded, the nations returned to comparative laissez
faire, and let their economies slump, Sun was persuaded that the
whole revolution would have to be carried on by the Chinese
themselves, with the possible help of the Communist Russians, and
of Japan. He found the reorganized Kuomintang to be the instrument
of this last revolution, both politically and democratically, and
began to emphasize Chinese resistance to the outside, rather than
appeal for help from the barbarian nations.</p><span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page241">[pg 241]</span><a name="Pg241" id="Pg241"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It is this last
attitude which one finds expressed in the acts of the last years of
his life. The national revolution was to be made a reality by being
intimately associated with the economic life and development of the
country. The plans made for economic development should be pushed
as far as possible without waiting for foreign help. The Chinese
should use the instrument of the boycott as a sanction with which
to give weight to their national policy.<a id="noteref_300" name=
"noteref_300" href="#note_300"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">300</span></span></a> They
had to practise economic nationalism in order to rid themselves of
the incubus of imperialism which was sucking the life-blood of
their country. In this connection between nationalism and
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>, the economic aspect
of the nationalist program was to be the means, and the national
aspect of the <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=

program the consequence. Unless Chinese, both as members of a state
and as individuals stirred by national sentiment, were moved to
action against Western economic aggression, they might consider
themselves already doomed.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">How did Sun
propose to promote the national economic revolution,<a id=
"noteref_301" name="noteref_301" href="#note_301"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">301</span></span></a> as
distinguished from the industrial revolution and the social
revolution? He gave, in the first place, as earlier stated, the
economic part of his theories a greater weight than they had
hitherto enjoyed, and placed them first in his practical program.
Secondly, he tended to associate the national political revolution
more and more with the real seat of economic power: the working
class. <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page242">[pg
242]</span><a name="Pg242" id="Pg242" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
In this introduction of the working class into the labors for the
fulfilment of <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> as a
national economic revolution, he was doing two things. He was
hoping to bring the standards of Chinese labor up to those of the
West, and he was making use of the political power of labor in
China as an added instrument of the national economic
revolution.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The Chinese
nation could and should not continue, as a nation, on a scale of
living lower than that of the Western nations. He urged the Chinese
workers, as the class most affected, to fight for the economic
advancement of themselves and of their nation. <span class=
"tei tei-q">“Comrades, the people meeting here are all workers and
represent a part of the nation. A great responsibility rests on
Chinese labor, and if you are equal to the task, China will become
a great nation and you a mighty working class.”</span><a id=

"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">302</span></span></a> The
Chinese workers were performing not only a duty that they owed to
themselves—they were also acting patriotically.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In advancing the
national economic revolution by advancing themselves, they could
not afford to lose sight of the political part of the revolution.
<span class="tei tei-q">“Beyond the economic struggle for the
shortening of the working day and the increase of wages, there are
before you other much more important questions of a political
character. For our political objectives you must follow the three
principles and support the revolution.”</span><a id="noteref_303"
name="noteref_303" href="#note_303"><span class=

two parts of the revolution could not be separated from one
another.</p><span class="tei tei-pb" id="page243">[pg

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Besides the
economic part of the national revolution, there was another
readjustment of which Sun did not often speak, because it was not
an open problem which could be served by immediate political
action. This was the problem of the transition of China from an
autarchic to a trading economy. The old Chinese world had been
self-sustaining, so self-sustaining that the Emperor Tao Kuang
wrote to George III of England that he did not desire anything that
the barbarians might have, but, out of the mercy and the bounty of
his heart, would permit them to come to China in order to purchase
the excellent things that the Chinese possessed in such
abundance.<a id="noteref_304" name="noteref_304" href=
"#note_304"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">304</span></span></a> The
impact of the West had had serious economic consequences,<a id=
"noteref_305" name="noteref_305" href="#note_305"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">305</span></span></a> and
the Chinese were in the unpleasant position of having their old
economic system disrupted without gaining the advantages of a
nationally organized economy in return. They had the actual
privilege of consuming a greater variety of goods than before, but
this was offset by the fact that the presence of these goods threw
their domestic markets and old native commercial system out of
balance, without offering a correspondingly large potentiality of
foreign export. Furthermore, the political position of the Western
powers in China was such, as Sun Yat-sen complained, that trade was
conducted on a somewhat inequitable basis.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The consequences
of a national economic revolution could not but be far-reaching.
The political changes in the economic situation demanded by Sun
Yat-sen in his program of economic nationalism—the return of tariff
autonomy, <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page244">[pg
244]</span><a name="Pg244" id="Pg244" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
the retrocession of the occupied concessions, etc.—would have a
great positive and immediate effect; but there would be a long
system of development, not to be so easily predicted or foreseen,
which would inevitably appear as a result of Chinese nationhood. If
China were to have a state strong enough to perform the economic
functions which Sun wished to have imposed upon it, and were to
take her place as one of the great importing and exporting nations
of the world, it is obvious that a real economic revolution would
have to be gone through.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Here again the
liberal-national character of Sun's ideology and programs with
respect to relations with the West appears. The Fascist states of
the present time exhibit a definite drift from free trade to
autarchy. In China the change from an autarchic world-society to a
trading nation constituted the reverse. Sun Yat-sen did not leave a
large legacy of programs in this connection, but he foresaw the
development and was much concerned about it.</p>

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The program of
industrial revolution was planned by Sun Yat-sen with great care.
The same belief which led him to urge the social revolution also
guided him in his plans for the industrial revolutionizing of the
Chinese economy, namely, his belief that China could profit by the
example of the West, that what the West had done wastefully and
circuitously could be done by the Chinese deliberately and
straightforwardly. He proposed that the change from the old economy
to the new be according to a well thought out plan. <span class=
"tei tei-q">“However, China must develop her industries by all
means. Shall we follow the old path of western civilization? This
old path resembles the sea route of Columbus' first trip to
America. He set out from Europe by a southwesterly direction
through the Canary Islands to San Salvador, in the Bahama group.
But nowadays <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page245">[pg
245]</span><a name="Pg245" id="Pg245" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
navigators take a different direction to America and find that the
destination can be reached by a distance many times shorter. The
path of Western civilization was an unknown one and those who went
before groped in the dark as Columbus did on his first voyage to
America. As a late comer, China can greatly profit in covering the
space by following the direction already charted by western
pioneers.”</span><a id="noteref_306" name="noteref_306" href=
"#note_306"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">306</span></span></a> By
calling in the help of friends who were familiar with engineering
and by using his own very extensive knowledge of Chinese economic
potentialities, Sun Yat-sen drafted a broad long-range plan by
means of which China would be able to set forth on such a charted
course in her industrial revolution. This plan, offered
tentatively, was called <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">The International Development of
China</span></span> in the English and <span class=
"tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">The Outline of
Material Reconstruction</span></span> in the Chinese version, both
of which Sun himself wrote.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This outline was
originally prepared as a vast plan which could be financed by the
great powers, who would thereby find markets for their glut of
goods left over by the war. The loan was to be made on terms not
unprofitable to the financial powers, but nevertheless equitable to
the Chinese. Sun Yat-sen hoped that with these funds the Chinese
state could make a venture into state socialism. It was possible,
in his opinion, to launch a coöperative modern economy in China
with the assistance of international capitalism, if the capital
employed were to be remunerated with attractive rates of interest,
and if the plan were so designed as to allow for its being
financially worthwhile. He stated:</p>

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">He was not
oblivious to the necessity of making each detail of his plan one
which would not involve the tying-up of unproductive capital, and
did not propose to use capital advanced for the purposes of the
industrial revolution for the sake of military or political
advantage.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This may be
shown in a concrete instance. He spoke of his Great Northeastern
railway system as a scheme which might not seem economically
attractive, and then pointed out that, as between a railway system
running between densely-populated areas, the latter would be
infinitely the more preferable. But, said he, <span class=

a sparsely settled country will pay far better than one that runs
end to end in a densely populated land.”</span><a id="noteref_308"

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Even though he
came to despair of having this scheme for the development of China
carried out by international financial action, the expediency of
his plans remained. He sought the fulfillment of this outline
throughout his life; it has remained as a part of his legacy,
challenging the Chinese people by the grandeur of its conception
and the precision of its details.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It is a work
which cannot easily be summarized in a discussion of political
doctrines. Fully comparable in grandeur to the Russian <span class=
"tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Piatiletka</span></span>, it provides for a
complete communication system including all types of transport, the
development of great ports, colonization and reclamation projects,
and the growth of vast industrial areas comparable to the Donbas or
the Kuzbas. The plan, while sound as a whole and not inexpedient in
detail, is not marked by that irregularity of proportion which
marks <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page247">[pg 247]</span><a name=
"Pg247" id="Pg247" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> planning under
capitalism; although not as fully worked out as the later Russian
projects, Sun's plan, in 1922, was considerably more advanced than
any Russian plan of that time. Sun shared with Lenin a passionate
conviction of the inevitable necessity of industrialization; but
while Lenin saw in industrialism the strengthening of that
revolutionary bulwark, the proletariat, Sun believed in
industrialism as a benefit to the whole nation.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">This plan is the
obvious fruit of Sun's advocacy of the adoption of the Western
physical sciences. Here there is little trace of his ideological
consistency with the old premises of Chinese society. He does not
challenge them, but he does present a concrete plan which refers
only incidentally to the political or the ideological. It is heavy
with the details of industrial revolution. Sun Yat-sen's enthusiasm
shows clearly through the pages of this work; he wrote it at a time
when his health was still comparatively good, and when he was not
harassed by the almost explosive dynamics of the situation such as
that in which he delivered the sixteen lectures on the <span class=
"tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">San Min Chu
I</span></span>. Here the practical aspects of his thinking show
forth, his willingness to consider and debate, the profound and
quiet enthusiasm for concrete projects which animated him and which
was so infectious among his followers.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">It were, of
course, unfeasable to attempt any detailed description and
assessment of the plan.<a id="noteref_309" name="noteref_309" href=

"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">309</span></span></a> The
great amount of point by point elaboration worked over by Sun
Yat-sen in order to make his plan appealing precludes the
consideration of any one project in detail as a sample. Failing
this, the magnitude of the plan may be gauged by a recapitulation
of the chief points in each of his programs. <span class=

of dollars for execution, involving the building of several
industrial cities or the reconstruction of a whole industry
throughout the country. The printing industry, for example, not
even mentioned in the general outline given below, was discussed as
follows:</p>

It is a necessity of modern society, without which mankind cannot
progress. All human activities are recorded, and all human
knowledge is stored in printing. It is a great factor of
civilization. The progress and civilization of different nations of
the world are measured largely by the quantity of printed matter
they turned out annually. China, though the nation that invented
printing, is very backward in the development of its printing
industry. In our international Development Scheme, the printing
industry must also be given a place. If China is developed
industrially according to the lines which I suggested, the demand
for printed matter will be exceedingly great. In order to meet this
demand efficiently, a system of large printing houses must be
established in all large cities in the country, to undertake
printing of all kinds, from newspapers to encyclopedia [sic!]. The
best modern books on various subjects in different countries should
be translated into Chinese and published in cheap edition form for
the general public in China. All the publishing houses should be
organized under one common management, so as to secure the best
economic results.</span></p>

subsidiary industries must be developed at the same time. The
most important of these is the paper industry. At present all the
paper used by newspapers in China is imported. And the demand for
paper is increasing every day. China has plenty of raw materials
for making paper, such as the vast virgin forests of the
northwestern part of the country, and the wild reeds of the
Yangtze and its neighboring swamps which would furnish the best
pulps. So, large plants for manufacturing paper should be put up
in suitable locations. Besides the paper factories, ink

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The industrial
revolution is to <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> what
the present program of socialist construction is to the Marxians of
the Soviet Union, what prosperity is to American democracy. Without
industrialization <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> must
remain an academic theory. Sun's program gives a definite physical
gauge by means of which the success of his followers can be told,
and the extent of China's progress estimated. It provides a
material foundation to the social and political changes in
China.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The theory of
Sun Yat-sen in connection with the continuation of the old system
is a significant one. His political doctrines, both ideological and
programmatic, are original and not without great meaning in the
development of an adequate and just state system in modern China.
But this work might have been done, although perhaps not as well,
by other leaders. The significance of Sun in his own lifetime lay
in his deliberate championing <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page251">[pg 251]</span><a name="Pg251" id="Pg251" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> of the cause of industrial revolution as the
<span class="tei tei-foreign"><span style="font-style: italic">sine
qua non</span></span> of development in China. In the epoch of the
first Republic he relinquished the Presidency in favor of Yüan
Shih-k'ai in order to be able to devote his whole time to the
advancement of the railway program of the Republic. In the years
that he had to spend in exile, he constantly studied and preached
the necessity of modernizing China. Of his slogan, <span class=
"tei tei-q">“Modernization without Westernization!”</span>
modernization is the industrial revolution, and non-Westernization
the rest of his programs and ideology. The unity of Sun Yat-sen's
doctrines is apparent; they are inseparable; but if one part were
to be plucked forth as his greatest contribution to the working
politics of his own time, it might conceivably be his activities
and plans for the industrial revolution.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">He spoke
feelingly and bitterly of the miserable lives which the vast
majority of his countrymen had to lead, of the expensiveness and
insecurity of their material existences, of the vast, tragic waste
of human effort in the form of man-power in a world where
machine-power had rendered muscular work unnecessary. <span class=
"tei tei-q">“This miserable condition among the Chinese proletariat
[he apparently means the whole working class] is due to the
non-development of the country, the crude methods of production,
and the wastefulness of labor. The radical cure for all this is
industrial development by foreign capital and experts for the
benefit of the whole nation.... If foreign capital cannot be
gotten, we will have to get at least their experts and inventors to
make for us our own machinery....”</span><a id="noteref_312" name=

Howsoever the work was to be done, it had to be done. In bringing
China into the modern world, in modernizing her economy, in
assuring the justice of the new economy which was to emerge, Sun
found the key in the physical advancement of China, in the building
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page252">[pg 252]</span><a name=
"Pg252" id="Pg252" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> of vast railway
systems, in creating ports <span class="tei tei-q">“with future
capacity equalling New York harbor,”</span> in re-making the whole
face of Eastern Asia as a better home for his beloved
race-nation.</p>

<span style="font-size: 144%">The Social Revolution.</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">In considering
the social revolution which was to form the third part of the
program of <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>, four
questions appear, each requiring examination. It is in this field
of Sun's programs that the terms of the Western ideology are most
relevant, since the ideological distinctions to be found in old
China as contrasted with the West do not apply so positively in
problems that are to appear in a society which is to be
industrially modern. Even in this, however, some of the old Chinese
ideas may continue in use and give relevance to the terms with
which Sun discusses the social revolution. Private property, that
mysterious relation between an individual and certain goods and
services, has been almost a fetish in the West; the Chinese,
already subject to the collectivisms of the family, the village and
the <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">hui</span></span>, does not
have the deep attachment to this notion that Westerners—especially
those who do have property—are apt to develop. Consequently, even
though the discussion of Sun's programs with regard to distributive
justice are remarkably like the discussions of the same problem to
be found in the West, the possibility, at least, of certain minor
though thoroughgoing differences must be allowed for, and not
overlooked altogether. The four aspects to this problem which one
may distinguish in Sun's program for <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> are: what is to be the
sphere of state action? what is to be the treatment accorded
private ownership of land? what is to be the position of private
capital? and, what of the class struggle?</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen
said: <span class="tei tei-q">“In modern civilization, the material
essentials of life are five, namely: food, clothing, shelter,
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page253">[pg 253]</span><a name=
"Pg253" id="Pg253" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> means of locomotion,
and the printed page.”</span><a id="noteref_313" name="noteref_313"
href="#note_313"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">313</span></span></a> At
other times he may have made slightly different arrangements of
these fundamental necessities, but the essential content of the
demands remained the same.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Behind his
demand for a program to carry out <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> there was the
fundamental belief that a government which does not assure and
promote the material welfare of the masses of its citizens does not
deserve to exist. To him the problem of livelihood, the concrete
aspect of <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>, was
one which had to be faced by every government, and was a means of
judging the righteousness of a government. He could not tolerate a
state which did not assure the people a fair subsistence. There was
no political or ethical value higher than life itself. A government
which did not see that its subjects were fed, sheltered, clothed,
transported, and lettered to the degree which the economic level of
its time permitted, was a government deserving of destruction. Sun
Yat-sen was not a doctrinaire on the subject of classes; he would
tolerate inequality, so long as it could be shown not to militate
against the welfare of the people. He was completely intolerant of
any government, Eastern or Western, which permitted its subjects to
starve or to be degraded into a nightmare existence of
semi-starvation. Whatever the means, this end of popular
livelihood, of a reasonable minimum on the scale of living for each
and every citizen, had to prevail above all others.<a id=
"noteref_314" name="noteref_314" href="#note_314"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">314</span></span></a></p><span class="tei tei-pb"
id="page254">[pg 254]</span><a name="Pg254" id="Pg254" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Within the
limits of this supreme criterion, Sun Yat-sen left the government
to its own choice in the matter of the sphere of state action. If
the system of private initiative could develop more efficiently
than could the government in certain fields, then leave those
fields to private effort. If and when private initiative failed to
meet rigid requirements to be established by the government it was
not merely the privilege, it was the obligation of the government
to intervene. Sun Yat-sen seems to have believed that government
action would in the long run be desirable anyhow, but to have been
enough of a political realist at the same time to be willing to
allow the government a considerable length of time in expanding its
activities. In a developing country like China it seemed to him
probable that the ends of <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign"
xml:lang="zh"><span style="font-style: italic">ming
shêng</span></span> could best be served in many fields by private
enterprise. <span class="tei tei-q">“All matters that can be and
are better carried out by private enterprise should be left to
private hands which should be encouraged and fully protected by
liberal laws....”</span><a id="noteref_315" name="noteref_315"
href="#note_315"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">315</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">From the outset,
Sun Yat-sen's plan of empirical collectivism demanded a fairly
broad range of state action. <span class="tei tei-q">“All matters
that cannot be taken up by private concerns and those that possess
monopolistic character should be taken up as national
undertakings.”</span><a id="noteref_316" name="noteref_316" href=
"#note_316"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">316</span></span></a> This
view of his may be traced, among others, to three suppositions he
entertained concerning Bismarck, concerning "war socialism," and
concerning the industrial revolution in China. Sun shows a certain
grudging admiration for Bismarck, whom he believed to have offset
the rising tide of democratic socialism in Germany by introducing
state socialism, <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page255">[pg
255]</span><a name="Pg255" id="Pg255" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
in government control of railroads, etc. <span class=
"tei tei-q">“By this preventive method he imperceptibly did away
with the controversial issues, and since the people had no reason
to fight, a social revolution was naturally averted. This was the
very great anti-democratic move of Bismarck.”</span><a id=
"noteref_317" name="noteref_317" href="#note_317"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">317</span></span></a>
Secondly, he believed that the <span class="tei tei-q">“...
unification and nationalization of all the industries, which I
might call the Second Industrial Revolution ...”</span> on account
of the world war would be even more significant than the
first.<a id="noteref_318" name="noteref_318" href=
"#note_318"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">318</span></span></a> It
intensified the four elements of recent economic progress, which
tended to prove the falsity of the Marxian predictions of the
future of capitalism, namely: <span class="tei tei-q">“a. Social
and industrial improvements (i. e. labor and welfare legislation);
b. State ownership of the means of transportation and of
communication; c. Direct taxes; d. Socialized distribution (the
coöperative movement).”</span><a id="noteref_319" name=
"noteref_319" href="#note_319"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">319</span></span></a>
Finally, Sun believed that the magnitude of the Chinese industrial
revolution was such that no private capital could establish its
foundations, and that the state had perforce to initiate the great
undertakings of industrialism.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Concerning Sun's
beliefs regarding the sphere of state action in economic matters,
one may say that his ideology of empirical collectivism required a
program calling for: 1) the protection of private enterprise and
the simultaneous launching of great state enterprises at the
beginning; 2) the intermediate pursuance of a policy by means of
which the state would be the guarantor of the livelihood of the
people, and establish the sphere of its own action according to
whether or not private enterprise was sufficient to meet the needs
of the people; and 3) a long range trend toward complete
collectivism.</p><span class="tei tei-pb" id="page256">[pg
256]</span><a name="Pg256" id="Pg256" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">With respect to
the question of land, Sun Yat-sen believed in his own version of
the <span class="tei tei-q">“single tax,”</span> which was not, in
his programs, the single tax, since he foresaw other sources of
revenue for the state (tariffs, revenue from state enterprises,
etc.). According to the land-control system of Sun Yat-sen the
land-owner would himself assess the value of his land. He would be
prevented from over-assessing it by his own desire to avoid paying
too high a tax; and under-assessment would be avoided by a
provision that the state could at any time purchase the land at the
price set by the owner. If the land were to go up in value the
owner would have to pay the difference between the amount which he
formerly assessed and the amount which he believed it to be worth
at the later time. The money so paid would become <span class=
"tei tei-q">“... a public fund as a reward, to all those who had
improved the community and who had advanced industry and commerce
around the land. The proposal that all future increment shall be
given to the community is the <span class="tei tei-q">‘equalization
of land ownership’</span> advocated by the Kuomintang; it is the
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Min-sheng</span></span> Principle. This form
of the <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">Min-sheng</span></span>
Principle is communism, and since the members of the Kuomintang
support the <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">San Min</span></span>
Principles they should not oppose communism.”</span> Continuing
directly, Sun makes clear the nature of the empirical collectivism
of his <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>
program, which he calls communism. <span class="tei tei-q">“The
great aim of the Principle of Livelihood in our Three Principles is
communism—a share in property by all. But the communism which we
propose is a communism of the future, not of the present. This
communism of the future is a very just proposal, and those who have
had property in the past will not suffer at all by it. It is a very
different thing from what is called in the West <span class=
"tei tei-q">‘nationalization of <span class="tei tei-pb" id=

government's use of private property which the people already
possess.”</span><a id="noteref_320" name="noteref_320" href=
"#note_320"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">320</span></span></a> Sun
Yat-sen declared that the solution to the land problem would be

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen
believed in the restriction of private capital in such a way as to
assure its not becoming a socially disruptive force. That is a part
of his ideology which we have already examined. In the matter of an
actual program, he believed in the use of <span class=
"tei tei-q">“harnessed capital.”</span><a id="noteref_322" name=
"noteref_322" href="#note_322"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">322</span></span></a> He
had no real fear of capital; imperialist foreign capital was one
thing—the small native capital another. The former was a political
enemy. The latter was not formidable. In a speech on Red Labor Day,
1924, when his sympathies were about as far Left as they ever were,
in consideration for the kindliness of the Communist assistance to
Canton, he said: <span class="tei tei-q">“Chinese capitalists are
not so <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page258">[pg
258]</span><a name="Pg258" id="Pg258" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
strong that they could oppress the Chinese workers,”</span><a id=
"noteref_323" name="noteref_323" href="#note_323"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">323</span></span></a> and
added that, the struggle being one with imperialism, the
destruction of the Chinese capitalists would not solve the
question.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The restriction
of private capital to the point of keeping it harmless, and thus
avoiding the evils which would lead to the class war and a violent
social revolution, was only half the story of capitalism in China
which Sun Yat-sen wanted told in history. The other half was the
advancement of the industrial revolution by the state, which was
the only instrumentality capable of doing this great work.
<span class="tei tei-q">“China cannot be compared to foreign
countries. It is not sufficient (for her) to impose restrictions
upon capital. Foreign countries are rich, while China is poor....
For that reason China must not only restrict private capital, but
she must also develop the capital of the State.”</span><a id=
"noteref_324" name="noteref_324" href="#note_324"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">324</span></span></a> The
restrictions to be placed upon private capital and upon private
land speculation were negative; the development of state-owned
capital and of capital which the state could trust politically were
positive, as was the revenue which should be gained from the
governmental seizure of unearned increment. In some cases the state
would not even have to trouble itself to confiscate the unearned
increment; it could itself develop the land and profit by its rise
in value, applying the funds thus derived to the paying-off
<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page259">[pg 259]</span><a name=
"Pg259" id="Pg259" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> of foreign loans or
some socially constructive enterprise.<a id="noteref_325" name=

"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">325</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Ideologically,
Sun Yat-sen was opposed to the intra-national class war. Class war
could, nevertheless, be justified in the programs of Sun in two
ways: 1) if it were international class war, of the oppressed
against the oppressing nations; and 2) if it were the class war of
the nationalist Chinese workers against foreign imperialism. In
these two cases Sun Yat-sen thought class-war a good idea. He did
not think class war necessary in contemporary China, and hoped, by
means of <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>, to
develop an economy so healthy that the pathological phenomena of
the class struggle would never appear. On the other hand, in
justice to Sun, and to those Marxians who would apologize for him
to their fellow-Marxians, there can be little doubt that Sun
Yat-sen would have approved of the class war, even in China, if he
had thought that Chinese capitalism had risen to such power that it
obstructed the way of the Chinese nation to freedom and economic
health. Even in this he might not have set any particular virtue
upon the proletariat as such; the capitalists would be the enemies
of the nation, and it would be the whole nation which would have to
dispose of them.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">A finically
Scrupulous and detailed examination of Sun Yat-sen's programs for
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> is intellectually
unremunerative, since it has been established that <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> may be called
empirical collectivism; collectivism which is empirical cannot be
rigidly programmatic, or it loses its empirical character. Sun, not
accepting the dialectics of historical materialism, and following
the traditionally Chinese pragmatic way of thinking, could not
orient his revolution in a world of economic predestinations. With
the characteristic Chinese emphasis on men rather than on rules and
principles, Sun Yat-sen knew that if China <span class="tei tei-pb"
id="page260">[pg 260]</span><a name="Pg260" id="Pg260" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> were ruled by the right sort of men, his
programs would be carried through in accordance with the expediency
of the moment. He does not appear to have considered, as do some of
the left wing, that it was possible for the revolutionary movement
to be diverted to the control of unworthy persons. Even had he
foreseen such a possible state of affairs, he would not, in all
probability, have settled his programs any more rigidly; he knew,
from the most intimate and heart-breaking experience, how easy it
is in China to pay lip-service to principles which are rejected.
The first Republic had taught him that.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">One must
consequently regard the programs of national economic revolution,
of industrial revolution, and of social revolution as tentative and
general outlines of the course which Sun wished the Nationalist
Kuomintang and state to follow in carrying out <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span>. Of these programs,
the one least likely to be affected by political or personal
changes was that of the industrial revolution, and it is this which
is most detailed.<a id="noteref_326" name="noteref_326" href=
"#note_326"><span class="tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">326</span></span></a> His
great desire was that the Chinese race-nation continue, not merely
to subsist, but to thrive and multiply and become great, so that it
could restore the ancient morality and wisdom of China, as well as
become proficient in the Western sciences.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">A last
suggestion may be made concerning the programs of Sun Yat-sen,
before consideration of the Utopia <span class="tei tei-pb" id=
"page261">[pg 261]</span><a name="Pg261" id="Pg261" class=
"tei tei-anchor"></a> which lay at the end of the road of
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=

continue to go on in <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign"
xml:lang="zh"><span style="font-style: italic">min
shêng</span></span> because they are so empirical. His nationalism
may be deflected or altered by the new situation in world politics.
His optimism concerning the rapidity of democratic developments may
not be justified by actual developments. The programs of
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> are so general that
they can be followed to some degree by governments of almost any
orientation along the Right-Left scale. The really important
criterion in the programs of <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> is this: the people
must live. It is a simple one to understand, and may be a great
force in the continued development of his programs, to the last
stage of <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Sun Yat-sen
differs from the empirical collectivists of the West in that he has
an end to his program, which is to be achieved over a considerable
period of time. The means are such that he can be classified with
those Western thinkers; his goal is one which he took from the
ideals in the old ideology and which he identified with those of
the communists, although not necessarily with the Marxists. He
said, at the end of his second lecture on <span lang="zh" class=

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Perhaps no other
passage from the works of Sun Yat-sen in relation to <span lang=
"zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> could illustrate his
position so aptly. He describes his doctrine. He labels it
<span class="tei tei-q">“communism,”</span> although, as we have
seen, it is quite another thing than Marxism. He cites Lincoln. In
the end he calls upon the authority of Confucius.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">To a Westerner,
the ideal commonwealth of Sun Yat-sen bears a remarkable
resemblance to the world projected in the ideals of the ancient
Chinese. Here again there is <span class="tei tei-q">“great
similarity,”</span> complete ideological harmony, and the
presumable disappearance of state and law. Property, the fount of
war, has been set aside, and men—animated by a profound and sincere
appreciation of <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=
"zh"><span style="font-style: italic">jên</span></span>—work
together, all for the common good. The Chinese will, in this
Utopia, have struck down <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style=
"font-style: italic">might</span></em> from the high places of the
world, and inaugurated an era of <em class=
"tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">the kingly
way</span></em> throughout the earth. Their ancient doctrines of
benevolence and peace shall have succeeded in bringing about
cosmospolitanism.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">There are,
however, differences from the old order of ideals. According to the
Marxists, nationality, after it has served its purpose as an
instrument in the long class struggle, may be set aside.
Speculation of this sort is rare among them, however, and it is
difficult to envision their final system. To Sun Yat-sen, however,
there was the definite ideal that the Chinese live on forever. This
was an obligation imposed upon him and his ideology by the
teleological element in the old ideology which required that
humanity be immortal in the flesh and that it be immortal through
clearly traceable lines of descent. The individual was settled in a
genealogical web, reaching through time and space, which gave him a
sense of certainty that otherwise he might lack. This is
inconsistent <span class="tei tei-pb" id="page263">[pg
263]</span><a name="Pg263" id="Pg263" class="tei tei-anchor"></a>
with the Marxian ideal, where the family system, a relic of brutal
days, shall have vanished.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The physical
immortality of the Chinese race was not the only sort of
immortality Sun Yat-sen wished China to have. His stress on the
peculiar virtues of the Chinese intellectual culture has been
noted. The Chinese literati had sought an immortality of integrity
and intellect, a continuity of civilization without which mere
physical survival might seem brutish. In the teleology of Sun's
ideal society, there would no doubt be these two factors: filial
piety, emphasizing the survival of the flesh; and <span lang="zh"
class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">jên</span></span>, emphasizing the continuity
of wisdom and honor. Neither could aptly continue unless China
remained Chinese, unless the particular virtues of the Chinese were
brought once again to their full potency.<a id="noteref_328" name=
"noteref_328" href="#note_328"><span class=
"tei tei-noteref"><span style=
"font-size: 60%; vertical-align: super">328</span></span></a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The family
system was to continue to the <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> Utopia. So too were
the three natural orders of men. Sun Yat-sen never advocated that
the false inequality of the present world be thrown down for the
purpose of putting in its place a false equality which made no
distinction between the geniuses, the apostles, and the unthinking.
The Chinese world was to be Chinese to the end of time. In this the
narrowness of Sun Yat-sen's ideals is apparent; it is, perhaps, a
narrowness which limits his aspirations and gives them
strength.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The Chinese
Utopia which was to be at the end of <span lang="zh" class=
"tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> was to be established
in a world, moreover, which might not have made a complete return
to ideological control, in which the state might still survive. The
requirements of an industrial economy certainly presupposes an
enormous length of time before the ideology and the society shall
have been completely adjusted to the peculiarities <span class=
"tei tei-pb" id="page264">[pg 264]</span><a name="Pg264" id="Pg264"
class="tei tei-anchor"></a> of life in a world not only of working
men but of working machines. The state must continue until all men
are disciplined to labor: "When all these vagrants will be done
away with and when all will contribute to production, then clothing
will be abundant and food sufficient; families will enjoy
prosperity, and individuals will be satisfied.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"><span class=

<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The bibliography
of works in Western languages dealing with Sun Yat-sen is short. The
author has made no attempt to gather various fugitive pieces, such as
newspaper clippings. He believes, however, that the following
bibliography of Western works on Sun is the most nearly complete
which has yet appeared, and has listed, for the sake of completeness,
two Russian items as yet unavailable in the United States.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The first half of
the bibliography presents these Western materials, arranged according
to their subject. Within each category, the individual items are
presented in chronological order; this has been done in order to make
clear the position of the works in point of time of publication—a
factor occasionally of some importance in the study of these
materials.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The second half of
the bibliography lists further works which have been referred to or
cited. The first group of these consists of a small collection of
some of the more important Chinese editions of, and Chinese and
Japanese treatises upon, Sun Yat-sen's writings. The second group
represents various Western works on China or on political science
which have been of assistance to the author in this study.</p>

Chinese names have been Westernized and inverted, they have been

<dd class="tei tei-notetext">These manuscripts consist of the
following chief items: Linebarger, Paul Myron Wentworth,
<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Conversations with Sun Yat-sen
1919-1922</span></span> (written in 1933-1935); the same,
<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">A
Commentary on the San Min Chu I</span></span> (four volumes,
1932-1933); and Sun Yat-sen, <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">How China Was Made a Republic</span></span>
(Shanghai, 1919). These are all typescripts, with autograph
corrections by their respective authors. The manuscripts of Judge
Linebarger represent his attempts to replace, from memory, books
which were destroyed at the time of the bombardment of the
Commercial Press in Shanghai by the Japanese. He had prepared a
two-volume work on the life and principles of Sun Yat-sen and had
left his manuscripts and other papers in the vaults of the Press.
When the Press was bombed the manuscripts, documents, plates and
Chinese translations were all destroyed; the only things remaining
were a few pages of proof sheets for <span class=
"tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">The Life and
Principles of Sun Chung-san</span></span>, which remain in the
possession of the present author. Judge Linebarger attempted to
replace these volumes. He had a few notebooks in which he had kept
the outlines of his own speeches; he had not used these, because of
the secondary value. When, however, the major volumes were lost, he
returned to these notebooks and reconstructed his speeches. They
were issued in Paris in 1932 under the title of <span class=
"tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">The Gospel of Sun
Chung-shan</span></span>. He also prepared the <span class=
"tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Commentary</span></span> and the <span class=
"tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Conversations</span></span> from memory. These
manuscripts possess a certain somewhat questionable value. Judge
Linebarger himself suggested that they be allowed the same weight
that testimony, based upon memory but delivered under oath, upon a
subject ten years past would receive in a court of justice. The
seven volumes described are in the possession of the present
author. Other materials to which the author has had access are his
father's diaries and various other private papers; but since he has
not cited them for references, he does not believe any description
of them necessary. Finally, there are the manuscripts of
<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Sun
Yat-sen and the Chinese Republic</span></span>, which contain a
considerable amount of material deleted from the published version
of that work, which appeared in New York in 1925. For comments on
other source material for Sun Yat-sen which is not generally used,

<dd class="tei tei-notetext">The word <span class=

to replace it. He does not desire that <span class=
"tei tei-q">“ideology”</span> be opposed to <span class=
"tei tei-q">“truth,”</span> but uses the word in its broadest
possible sense, referring to the whole socio-psychological
conditioning of a group of people. He does not, therefore, speak of
ideologies as a collection of Paretian derivations, fictions which
mask some <span class="tei tei-q">“truth.”</span> He considers his
own background—or Pareto's, for that matter—as ideological, and—in
the sense of the word here employed—cannot conceive of any human
belief or utterance <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style=

set himself is the transposition of a pattern of Chinese ideas
concerning government from the Chinese ideology to the
Western-traditionalist ideology of the twentieth century. Whether
one, the other, neither, or both, is <span class=
"tei tei-q">“right,”</span> is quite beside the point, so far as
the present enterprise is concerned. In calling the whole
non-physical background of a society the ideology of that society,
the author can excuse his novel use of the term only if he admits
that he establishes the new meaning by definition, without any
necessary reference to the previous use of the term. He has no
intention of following, in the present work, any <span class=
"tei tei-q">“theory of ideology”</span> or definition of
<span class="tei tei-q">“ideology”</span> established by political
philosophers, such as Marx, or sociologists such as Weber,
Mannheim, or Pareto. (Professor A. O. Lovejoy suggested the
following definition of the term, <span class=
"tei tei-q">“ideology,”</span> after having seen the way it was
employed in this work: <span class="tei tei-q">“<em class=
"tei tei-emph"><span style=

in part ethical, in part political, in part often religious, which

of distortion necessary when he imagines a work on Lenin, written

<dd class="tei tei-notetext">There is a work on Confucianism upon
which the author has leaned quite heavily: Leonard Shih-lien Hsü,
<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">The
Political Philosophy of Confucianism</span></span>, New York, 1932.
Dr. Hsü is interested in sociological political theory. The novelty
of his work has aroused a great amount of criticism among Chinese
scholars of the older disciplines, whether the relatively
conservative and established Western disciplines or the
ultra-conservative schools of the truly classical literati. His
work cannot be recommended for any purposes other than those which
Dr. Hsü himself had in mind; there are several other works, the
product of philosophers, historians, and literary historians, which
will present a portrait of Confucius and Confucianism more
conventionally exact. In its own narrow but definite field Dr.
Hsü's work is an impressive accomplishment; he transposes the
Confucian terms into those of the most advanced schools of social
thought. A reader not forewarned might suffer by this, and read
into Confucius an unwarranted modernity of outlook; if, however,
the up-to-dateness is recognized as Dr. Hsü's and not Confucius',
the work is valuable. It puts Confucius on common ground with
modern social theory, ground on which he does not belong, but where
his ideas are still relevant and interesting. The present author
follows Dr. Hsü in this transposition of Confucius, but begs the
reader to remember that this is one made for purposes of comparison
only, and not intended as valid for all purposes. (He must
acknowledge the stimulating criticism of Mr. Jan Tai, of the
Library of Congress, who made it clear that this distortion of
Confucius was one which could be excused only if it were
admitted.)—An interesting presentation of Confucius as transposed
into the older political theory, untouched by sociology, is to be

connection that Confucius advocated an ideology which would not

control, and might contain deliberate or unconscious deception. Hsü

Manchuria might be Japanized as easily as the fiercely chauvinistic
Japanese might be sinicized. The only adequate answer to the

with the old Chinese cosmopolitan society, which thought itself
unique except for certain imitations of itself on the part of
half-civilized barbarians. A <span class=

the purposes of this work, a society calling itself such and
recognizing the existence of other societies of more or less the

group of persons as real as a family group, and consistently spoke
of the Chinese nation as having existed throughout the ages—even in
those times when the Chinese themselves regarded their own society
as the civilized world, and did so with some show of exactness, if

<dd class="tei tei-notetext">Tai Chi-tao, cited, p. 62. The passage
reads in full: <span class="tei tei-q">“Sun Yat-sen umfasst
vollkommen die wahren Gedanken Chinas, wie sie bei Yau und Schun
und auch bei Kung Dsï und Mong Dsï wiederfinden. Dadurch wird uns
klar, dass Sun Yat Sen der Erneuerer der seit 2000 Jahre
ununterbrochenen chinesischen sittlichen Kultur ist. Im vergangenen
Jahr hat ein russischer Revolutionär an Sun Yat Sen die folgende
Frage gerichtet: <span class="tei tei-q">‘Welche Grundlage haben
Ihre Revolutionsgedanken?’</span> Sun Yat Sen hat darauf
geantwortet: <span class="tei tei-q">‘In China hat es ein
sittlichen Gedanken gegeben, der von Yau, Schun, Yü, Tang, Wen
Wang, Wu Wang, Dschou Gung his zu Kung Dsï getragen worden ist;
seither ist er ununterbrochen, ich habe wieder an ihn angeknüpft
und versacht, ihn weiter zu entwickeln.’</span> Der Fragende hat
dies nicht verstehen können und sich weiter erkundigt; Sun Yat Sen
hat noch mehrmals versucht, ihm seine Antwort zu erklären. Aus
dieser Unterredung können wir ersehen, dass Sun Yat Sen von seine
Gedanken überzeugt war, gleichzeitig können wir ersehen, dass seine
Nationalrevolution auf dem Widererwachen der chinesischen Kultur
beruht. Er hat die schöpferische Kraft Chinas wieder ins Leben
rufen und den Wert der chinesischen Kultur fur die ganze Welt
nutzbar machen wollen, um somit den Universalismus verwirklichen zu
können.”</span> Allowance will have to be made, as it should always
in the case of Tai Chi-tao, for the author's deep appreciation of
and consequent devotion to the virtues of Chinese culture. Other
disciples of Sun Yat-sen wrote in a quite different vein. The
present author inclines to the opinion, however, that Tai Chi-tao's
summary is a just rendition of Sun Yat-sen's attitude. Sun Yat-sen
loved and fought for the struggling masses of China, whose misery
was always before his pitying eyes; he also fought for the
accomplishments of Chinese civilization. In modern China, many
leaders have fought for the culture, and forgotten the masses (men
such as Ku Hung-ming were typical); others loved the populace and
forgot the culture. It was one of the elements of Sun Yat-sen's
greatness that he was able to remember both.</dd>

society where the ideology had been stabilized for almost two
millenia, this was undoubtedly quite true. In modern China,
however, faced with the terrific problem of again settling the
problem of an adequate ideology, the reverse was true: knowledge
was difficult, and action easy. This was one of the favorite
aphorisms of Sun Yat-sen, and he devoted much time, effort, and
thought to making it plain to his countrymen. The comparative
points of view of Wang Yang-ming and Sun Yat-sen afford a quite
clear-cut example of the contrast between an established and
unsettled ideology.</dd>

peculiar in the Chinese environment. Without going out of his way
to point out the difference between Sun's Nationalism and
Marxism-Leninism, the author cannot refrain—in view of the quite
popular misconception that Sun Yat-sen was at one time almost a
Marxist convert—from pointing out the extreme difference between
the premises, the methods, and the conclusions of the two

continued activity as a medical man, the author begs the reader's
tolerance of a short anecdote. In 1920 or 1921, when both Judge
Linebarger and Sun Yat-sen were in Shanghai, and were working
together on the book that was to appear as <span class=
"tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Sun Yat-sen and the
Chinese Republic</span></span>, the younger son of Judge
Linebarger—the brother of the present author—fell ill with a rather
obscure stomach disorder. The Western physicians having made little
or no progress in the case, Sun Yat-sen intervened with an old
Chinese herbal prescription, which he, a Western-trained physician,
was willing to endorse. The remedy was relatively efficacious—more
so than the suggestions of the European doctors. Even though Sun
Yat-sen very early abandoned his career of professional medical man
for that of revolutionist, he appears to have practised medicine
intermittently throughout his life.</dd>

Dr. Wou Saofong, in his <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Sun Yat-sen</span></span> (Paris, 1929),
summarizes his thesis of Sun Yat-sen in somewhat different terms:
<span class="tei tei-q">“... Sun Yat-sen compare, le gouvernement à
un appareil mécanique, dont le moteur est constitué <em class=
"tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">par les
lois</span></em> ou les ministres, tandis que l'ingénieur que
dirige la machine était autrefois le roi et aujourd'hui le
peuple,”</span> p. 124. (Italics mine.) This suggestion that the
state-machine, in the theory of Sun Yat-sen, is composed of laws as
well as men is quite interesting; Sun Yat-sen himself does not seem
to have used this figure of speech and it may be Dr. Wou's applying
the juristic interpretation on his own initiative. Sun Yat-sen, in
his sixth lecture on democracy, says, <span class=
"tei tei-q">“Statesmen and lawyers of Europe and America say that
government is a machine of which law is a tool.”</span> (d'Elia
translation, cited, p. 368.)</dd>

<dd class="tei tei-notetext">It must always remain one of those
conjectures upon which scholars may expend their fantasy what Sun
Yat-sen would have thought of the necessity of the juristic state,
which involved a quite radical change throughout the Chinese social
organism, had he lived to see the ebb of juristic polity and, for
all that, of voting democracy. It is not unlikely that his early
impressions of the United States and his reading of Montesquieu
would have led him to retain his belief in a juristic-democratic
state in spite of the fact that such a state would no longer
represent the acme of ultra-modernism.</dd>

<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=

in the United States, since Sun Yat-sen suggested that—in order to
avoid the consequences of a post-war depression—the nations of the
world might cooperate in the equal exploitation of Chinese national
resources with the Chinese. He proposed the modernization of China
by a vast international loan which could permit the Western nations
to maintain their war-time peak production, supplying China (1929
ed., p. 8). He concludes the work: <span class="tei tei-q">“In a
nutshell, it is my idea to make capitalism create socialism in
China so that these two economic forces of human civilization will
work side by side in future civilization”</span> (p. 237). The work
is, however, generally regarded as a transportation plan, since Sun

decades to realize, and which overshadowed, by its very magnitude,

<dd class="tei tei-notetext">At the risk of digression, one might
comment on an interesting element of the Euramerican ideology which
is in sharp contrast to the Chinese. The West has, apparently,
always been devoted to dichotomies of morality. The Greeks had
reason and unenlightenment, and whole series of ideals that could
be fought for and against, but the real division of good and bad in
the West came, of course, with Christianity, which accustomed
Westerners to think for centuries in terms of holiness versus
evil—they being, geographically, holy, and the outsiders (heathen),
evil. Now that the supernatural foundations of Christianity have
been shaken by the progress of scientific and intellectual
uncertainty, many Westerners find an emotional and an intellectual
satisfaction in dividing the world into pure and unclean along
lines of sometimes rather abstruse economic questions. This new
morality seems to be based on distributive economics rather than on
deity. It is employed, of course, by the Marxians, but their
adversaries, in opposing them with equal passion, fall into the
same habit. It is shocking and unbelievable to such persons to
discover that there is a society whose ideology does not center
around the all-meaningful point of the ownership of the means of
production. Their only reaction is a negation of the possibility of
such thought, or, at least, of its realism. The intellectual
position of Sun Yat-sen in the modern world would be more clearly
appreciated if the intellectuals of the West were not adjusting
their ideological and emotional habits from religion to economics,
and meanwhile judging all men and events in economic terms. The
present discussion of Sun Yat-sen's economic ideology is a quite
subordinate one in comparison to the examination of his ideology as
a whole, but some persons will regard it as the only really
important point that could be raised concerning him.</dd>

in sporadic hunches. It was typical of him that he met Joffe, read
the Communist Manifesto, and turned Communist, and then read one
book by an American of whom he knew nothing, and rejected communism
all in a few months.’</span> ”</span> Sun Yat-sen knew Marxism,
years before the Russian Revolution. The Communist Manifesto was
not new to him. He was extraordinarily well read in Western
political and economic thought. Sun Yat-sen never turned Communist,

for years.</dd>

<dd class="tei tei-notetext">The author cannot give a documentary
citation for this observation. It was communicated to him many
times by his father, Judge Paul Linebarger, who stated that Sun
Yat-sen was most apt to talk in terms of morality and morale by
preference. The fact that Sun Yat-sen came from a Chinese Confucian
background into a Western Christian one cannot be ignored. He did
not permit his Christianity to sway him from what he considered his
necessary lines of behavior in politics; it did not, for example,
prevent him from being extremely cordial to the Soviet Union at the
time that that state was still more or less outcaste. And yet,
speaking of the Christian God, he is reputably reported to have
said: <span class="tei tei-q">“God sent me to China to free her
from bondage and oppression, and I have not been disobedient to the
Heavenly mission”</span>; and, again, to have said on the day
before his death: <span class="tei tei-q">“I am a Christian; God
sent me to fight evil for my people. Jesus was a revolutionist; so
am I.”</span> (Both quotations from appendix to the d'Elia

<dd class="tei tei-notetext">The reader must bear in mind the fact
that what is presented here is Sun Yat-sen's political program for
China. In many instances the course of affairs has deviated quite
definitely from that program, and it can be only a matter of
conjecture as to what Sun Yat-sen would do were he to return and
observe the Nationalist movement as it now is. It is manifestly
impossible to trace all the changes in this program. The actual
developments have conformed only in part with Sun Yat-sen's plans,
although the leaders seek to have it appear as though they are
following as close to Sun Yat-sen's democratic politics as they
can. Many persons who were close to Sun Yat-sen, such as Mme. Sun
Yat-sen, believe that the National Government has betrayed the
theory of Sun Yat-sen, and that Generalissimo Chiang Chieh-shih has
made himself the autocrat of the National Government. It is, of
course, impossible within the scope of this thesis to enter into
this dispute. Who rules the Soviet—Stalin, or the Communist Party?
Who rules China—Chiang Chieh-shih, or the Kuomintang? In each case
there is the question of whether the leader could get along without
the party, and whether the party could get along without the
leader, as well as the question of the leader's sincerity. These
issues, however burning they might be in real life, could not be
adequately treated in a work such as this. The author has sought to
present Sun Yat-sen's theory of applied politics. Where events
which Sun Yat-sen foresaw have come to pass, the author has
referred to them. He does not wish to be understood as presenting a
description of the whole course of events in China.</dd>

<dd class="tei tei-notetext">Here, again, one must remember that
Mme. Sun Yat-sen, Eugene Chen, and others charge that the Party no
longer rules, that it has been prostituted by Chiang Chieh-shih,
and now serves only to cloak a military despotism. It may be noted,
so far as the other side of the question is concerned, that a
greater number of the persons who were eminent in the Party before
Sun Yat-sen died have remained in it than have left it.</dd>

reconciled with the present leadership, and make allowances for the
somewhat emphatic indignation voiced at the time of writing the
book. The brilliance of the author guarantees that the story is
well told, but it is not told for the last time. See also,

disputes as to the orthodoxy and integrity of the present

to him charge that he has packed the C. E. C. with his adherents,

deal with the method of recruitment and registration in the

rarely any doubt as to who was, or was not, a member, but there was
constant trouble as to the good standing of members. Recruitment
seems to have been on a basis of oath-taking, initiation, etc.;
what Party discipline there was seems to have been applied only in
the most extreme cases, and then crudely.</dd>

<span class="tei tei-q">“Although Persia was partitioned by
foreigners over a century ago, Persian nationalism was not lost;
consequently the Persians have been able to restore their country
to independence; and now Persia has the status of a second or third

that Persia is translated correctly further on (p. 327). Another
misreading is: <span class="tei tei-q">“After the war, two new
Slavic states were born, namely Czechoslovakia and
Jugoslovakia”</span> (p. 217). These minor errors are, however,

<dd class="tei tei-notetext">This is not due to any mystical
veneration of numbers, or religious influence. In spreading
doctrines which would have to be followed by the unlettered as well
as by the scholars, Sun Yat-sen found it necessary to develop the
general outline of his principles in such a way as to give them a
considerable mnemonic appeal. Thus, the three principles—and the
three French (liberty, equality, fraternity) and American (of, by,
for the people) principles—and the triple foreign aggression, the
four popular powers, the five governmental rights. The use of the
number three permitted Sun Yat-sen to weave together the various
strands of his teaching, and to attain a considerable degree of
cross-reference. It cannot be shown to have induced any actual
distortion of his theories.</dd>

<dd class="tei tei-notetext">d'Elia translation, cited, p. 153. Sun
Yat-sen seems to have had a high opinion of the American
administration of the Philippines, saying: The United States
<span class="tei tei-q">“... even allows the Filipinos to send
delegations to Congress in Washington. Not only does the United
States require no annual tribute in money from them, but, on the
contrary, she gives the Filipinos considerable subsidies to build
and maintain their roads and to promote education. It seems as
though so humanitarian a treatment would be regarded as the utmost
benevolence. Still, until the present day, the Filipinos do not
boast of being <span class="tei tei-q">‘Americanized’</span>; they
are daily clamoring for independence”</span> (d'Elia translation,
p. 153). This statement is interesting in two connections. In the
first place, although Sun Yat-sen had once thought of sending men,
money, or munitions to help the Filipino nationalists in their
struggles against the Americans, he seems to have conceived a warm
admiration for the American administration in those islands.
Secondly, the reader may consider that Sun Yat-sen, at the time
that he made this comment, was in the course of attacking
imperialism. If Sun Yat-sen could offer so enthusiastic an apology
for the Americans in the Philippines, it shows that he must have
let the abstract principle ride, and judged only on the basis of
his own observation. To the orthodox Communist the American rule of
the Philippines is peculiarly wicked because of the American denial
of imperialist practises.</dd>

<dd class="tei tei-notetext">Some of the older books on China give
interesting maps of that country divided up into spheres of
influence between the various powers. It was quite fashionable
among journalists to sketch the various Chinese possessions of the
great powers; the powers never got around to the partition. The
American declaration of the <span class="tei tei-q">“Open
Door”</span> may have had something to do with this, and the
British enunciation of the same doctrine probably carried weight.
For a time, however, the Europeans seemed quite convinced of the
almost immediate break-up of China into three or four big colonies.

<dd class="tei tei-notetext">The Communists envision three types of
conflict to be produced by the contradictions of imperialism:
intra-national class war, international class war, and
inter-imperialist war. The first is the struggle of the proletariat
of the whole world against the various national bourgeois
governments; the second, the struggle of the oppressed peoples,
under revolutionary bourgeois or proletarian leadership, against
the oppressions of Western imperialism; and the last, the conflict
of the various imperialist powers with one another. Sun Yat-sen's
theory agreed definitely with the second point, the international
class war; he seems to have admitted the probability of class war
within the nations of the West, and of inter-imperialist war, but
he did not draw the three types of conflict together and because of
them predicate an Armageddon and a millenium. His flexible,
pragmatic thought never ran to extremes; although he agreed, more
or less distinctly, with the Bolshevik premises of the three
conflicts of the imperialist epoch, he did not follow them to their
conclusion.</dd>

constitutional jurisprudence of the Chinese Communists is, however,
primarily a matter of academic interest, since the Soviets, where
they have existed, have existed in a state of perpetual emergency,
shielded by the Red Terror and other devices of revolutionary
control. The contrast between a pronouncement of Sun Yat-sen and a
constitution is a fair one, since the writings of Sun Yat-sen form
the final authority in the Nationalist movement and government; in
a dispute as to the higher validity of a governmental provision or
a flat contrary statement of Sun Yat-sen, there can be little
question as to which would—or, in the eyes of the Nationalists,

Tsiang Kuen, <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style=

essentially the same ground, although they are both doctoral
dissertations submitted to French universities. The former deals
primarily with the theory of Sun's economic ideas, contrasting them
with the economic thought of Adam Smith and of the Marxians. The
latter gives a rather extensive historical and statistical
background to Sun's <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign"

Two points of detail may be noted here. In the first place,
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=
"font-style: italic">min shêng</span></span> has been emphasized by
being placed first, although Sun Yat-sen generally arranged his
principles in their logical order: nationalism, democracy,
<span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=

"zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang="zh"><span style=

is dealt with in one single paragraph in this vitally important
document. The question of the <span lang="zh" class=

to the one on <span lang="zh" class="tei tei-foreign" xml:lang=

is indicative of the point stressed above, namely, that Sun
Yat-sen, while he was sure of the importance of <span lang="zh"

economy in relation to the development of a nation-state.
Obviously, there is a great difference between the economy of a
society regarding itself as ecumenical, and one faced with the
problem of dealing with other equal societies. The presence of a
state implies a certain minimum of state interference with economic
matters; the national economic revolution of Sun Yat-sen was to
give the Chinese economy a national character, coordinating the
economic with the other programs of nationalism. Hence, the
significant stress in the phrase <span class="tei tei-q">“national

the outlook of so many Western leaders. He did not believe that the
only possible solution to the problem of livelihood was the Marxian
one, and was confident that the Chinese Nationalists would be able
to solve the problem. This question was to him paramount above all
others; the life of the masses of Chinese citizens was the life of
China itself.</dd>

<dd class="tei tei-notetext">One or two further points concerning
the land policy may be mentioned. In the first place, it is the
land which is to be taxed. A tax will be applied, according to this
theory, on the land, and the increment will also be confiscated.
These are two separate forms of revenue. Furthermore, lest all
land-holders simply surrender their land to the government, Sun
makes clear that his taxation program applies only to land. It
would consequently be quite advantageous for the owner to keep the
land; the buildings on it would not be affected by the
increment-seizure program, and the land would be worth keeping.
<span class="tei tei-q">“The value of the land as declared at
present by the landowner will still remain the property of each
individual landowner.”</span> (d'Elia translation, p. 466; Father
d'Elia's note on this page is informing.) The landowner might
conceivably put a mortgage on the land to pay the government the
amount of the unearned increment, and still make a handsome enough
profit from the use of the land to amortize the mortgage.</dd>

capitalism, see d'Elia's various footnotes and appendices dealing
with the subject. Father d'Elia, as a devout Catholic, does a
thorough piece of work in demonstrating that Sun Yat-sen was not a
Bolshevik and not hostile to the Roman Catholic Church, and had a
warm although infrequently expressed admiration for that
organization. Li Ti-tsun, in <span class="tei tei-q">“The

vision. The National Government had already started work on this
port when the Japanese, invading Manchuria, took it. There is so
much pathos in Sun's own life that this frustation of his plans
after his death seems disappointing beyond words to his followers.
In his own trust in mankind, in the eagerness and the sincerity of
his enthusiasms, in the grandeur of his vision—here are to be found
the most vital clues to the tragedy of Sun Yat-sen. Like the other
great founders of the earth's ideals, he charted worlds within the
vision but, perhaps, beyond the accomplishment of ordinary

Project Gutenberg™</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Project
Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new
computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of
volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Volunteers
and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance
they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™'s goals
and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain
freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,

the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Project
Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread
public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that
can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible
by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment.
Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important
to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">The
Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the
United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it
takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to
meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit
donations in locations where we have not received written
confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the
status of compliance for any particular state visit <a href=
"http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate" class=
"tei tei-xref">http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate</a></p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">While we
cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors
in such states who approach us with offers to donate.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot
make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations
received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp
our small staff.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Please check
the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods
and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways
including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: <a href=

Gutenberg™ electronic works.</span></h2>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"><span class=
"tei tei-name">Professor Michael S. Hart</span> is the
originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of
electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For
thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™
eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Project
Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the
U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Each eBook
is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's eBook
number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
compressed (zipped), HTML and others.</p>
<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em">Corrected
<em class="tei tei-emph"><span style=
"font-style: italic">editions</span></em> of our eBooks replace
the old file and take over the old filename and etext number.
The replaced older file is renamed. <em class=
"tei tei-emph"><span style=
"font-style: italic">Versions</span></em> based on separate
sources are treated as new eBooks receiving new filenames and
etext numbers.</p>
