Election
In
China
By
JOHN
RODERICK
SHANGHAI,
(APJ
China's
first
national
election
is
scheduled
for
November
21,
22
and
23,
but
the
imminence
of
this
event
finds
the
country's
vast
population
in
a
state,
of
'Indifference,
perplexity
and
anxiety,"
to
quote
one
well-known
Chinese
magazine,
j
"With
the
exception
of
the
handful
of
people
who
are
within
the
political
circle,
society
Is
j
treating
this
matter
with
almost
complete
disregard,"
said
the
century
Critique,
a
magazine
connected
with
the
moderate
"political
science"
group
of
China's
governing
party,
the
Kuo-mlntang.
Originally
scheduled
for
October,
the
election
was
postponed
for
a
month,
and
there
has
been
talk
of
another"
delay,
but
government
quarters
have
remained
silent
on
the
subject.
The
voters
are
scheduled
to
chose
2,164
members
of
a
na
tional
assembly
which
is
to
elect
a
president
of
the
republic.
A
national
legislature,
called
the
Legislative
Yuan,
also
Is
to
be
named
by
direct
vote
of
the
people.
Eight
million
Chinese
living
abroad
are
eligible
to
select
64
assembly
delegates
to
represent
nothing
about
either
the
aim
or
reason
for
the
election.
The
new
Chinese
constitution
was
adopted
last
December
25
and
is
scheduled
to
take
effect
this
coming
Christmas.
Under
It,
the
Kuomlntang
has
promised
to
aDanaon
us
one-party
control
of
the
government,
but
the
party
remains
the
only
significant
factor
in
the
election.
The
Communist
party
controls
possibly
one-third
of
the
nation,
with
more
than
isu,uuu,uuu
people,
but-
it
is
Illegal
In
the
government's
eyes.
The
Minority
Democratic
League
has
been
outlawed
for
allegedly
co-operating
with
the
Communists.
The
still
smaller
Democratic
Socialists
and
Young
China
parties,
the
only
others
in
existence,
represent
minute
factions
of
the
people.
