Thirty Year* Ago. As a party tie KiiDmliigrtaug Is more than thirty years, old. It was fir.it, tlicugh. known by another name, a «;er<'t rovohnlionaiT organization un- der the leadership of the late Dr. Sun Yat-HGU. Vntll 1911 China was a monurcliy under the tyrannical grip of the non-ChiuTse Manchus, who were ini|K;teut to deal with both llie Intw- nal 11 nd the external problems then confronting China. Within were politi- cal corniption and racial hatred lie- twuen Chinese and Manchus; without tvre designUifi and aggressiv© foreign nations. The diisintegratlon of China 6eemed emlnient. To avert this Im- penidtlng cj'.tp.ilrophe llr. Sun led hl» party Iti a revolutionary moveuieut to overthrow the Ma.nchu monarchy. Tho revo'.iitlon had b.en brewing since 1895, and In 1911 thoManchu uiona.rchy was depcued and .in lis stead a niodeni republican form of government was In- Uigurate^l. Dissolved in 1912. tal Tho National Government, accord- ing to tills prlnclr/io, should nuiko law.* regulating the rent of land, land taxa- tjon and tho use und value of laud based upon rci)ort of the landowiieT hlni.self. A.s, Dr. Sun put It, "A land- owiior will nelllier underrate nor over- rate his land, becaus* If h» -underrates It he musts&H at that valuation, whilo if he overrateo it he mu.st bear the oddeS burden of taxation." In an at- tempt at ridding China of the tenant evil the Kuomingtang principle call» on the Government to pravWe land for thc.Je In need of It, and also Ilie establishment of ruril credit batiks. Wltli regard to the regulation of capi- tal, the party holds that all eiuerpriftfs Of a monopolistic nature or conducted on such a scale as l.s beyond the ftnan- c!:il r;-.~oOrcos of Individuals (for ex- ample, railways, bank-s and s.hlppiiig) .shculd 1m) undertaken by the National Govornment.
