DECLARES CHINA NOT SECTIONALLY DIVIDED

"The Chinese people are not really divided into sections as was America for nearly 100 years into North and South", said the Reverend A. A. Gilman D.D., President of Boone University at Wuchang, China, when interviewed recently by a representative of the CRIMSON. "It is only that it so happens that the military power, which from the beginning has tried to overwhelm popular attempts to create a modern government, has had its base in the north and has used ignorant northern coolies because it would be impossible to recruit a force against the popular movement in the south.

"The strongest intellectual center of progressive movement through the last few years has been the Government University in Peking. American missionaries have been accused of participation in the popular movements especially against Japan. The truth of the matter is that students in missionary institutions are trained in thorough knowledge of English, History, and Political Science, with the strongest curb against political action on the part of the missionary heads. Despite this curb the students who realize that they alone know the situation, naturally become almost fanatical in their patriotism.

"The commerical and educational classes of China have now united in an organization which includes men truly representative of every part of China. If this organization is not violently suppressed, it will in due course do what our Constitutional Convention did--produce a form of Government for China that will be effective and progressive".
