Threefold

Accomplished
and
Democracy
in
Sight
VANCOUVER,
July
7.
There
are
three
objectives
In
the
present
upheaval
in
China,
a
struggle
for
a
stable
national
government,
an
effort
for
improved
economic
status
for
China's
masses
and
a
recognized
place
In
the
family
of
nations.
This
was
the
generalization
by
Dr.
T.
Z.
Koo,
International
secretary
of
the
Y.M.C.A.,
In
an
address.
That
China
was
in
the
first
phase
of
her
onward
march
toward
a
demo
cratic
nation
was
Dr.
Koo's
opinion.
He
believed
that
the
tlose
of
the
first
phase
was
close
at
hand
and
that
two
or
three
months
might
witness
the
elimination
of
sufficient
of
the
fighting
war
lords
to
enable
China
ta
march
on
the
xcond
ph.e
of
her
development,
.
That
phase
would
be
the
education
In
government
of,
by
and
for
the
people.
This
might
last
five,
ten
or
twenty
years.
It
would
mean
the
establishment
of
representative
government.
Then
would
come
a
final
phase
China's
entry
as
a
modern
world
state.
Dr.
Koo
outlined
the
spirit
of
Hinduism
as
man
seeking
relation
with
Ood.
He
spoke
of
China's
genius
as
man
seeking
relations
with
man,
and
of
the
Western
world
as
man
seeklag
domination
of
material
things.
