GOVERNMENT OF CHINA
DICTATORSHIP BY KOUMINTANG. By Telegraph'—Press Assn— Copyright. Shanghai, Oct. 7. The full text of the new constitution, promulgated at Nanking on October 4, was published in to-day’s papers. It is regarded as an interesting political experiment, which shows that the Nationalists recognise that China is not yet ready for a democratic Government. Nowhere in the new organisation is there provision made for officials to be chosen by the process of election. The new Government appears to be a frank dictatorship by the Koumintang, whose organisation is evidently being tightened up, as an order has been issued forbidding local branches to express opinions on political questions until these are approved by the central party headquarters.
