Situation in regard to estabishment of a monarchy is not changed much... A possible compromise or intermediate step may be the declaring of Yuan President for life and by giving a life tenure to the President in the new consitution. If this is done the change to a monarchy could easily by accomplished at some future date.

A possible compromise or intermediate step may be the declaring of Yuan President for life and by giving a life tenure to the President in the new consitution.

April 2, 1916. North could not put down rebellion in the South... the feeling here is not as much against the change from a Republic to monarchy as that Yuan in making the change has shown that he was willing to violate an oath of office; Morrison drafted memorandum recommending that Yuan immediately issue a mandate announcing that the establishment of the monarchy was definitely abaondoned; doubts decision was due to Morrison's recommendation; it almost immediately became evident that the rebel's would not be satisfied with the abandonment of the monarchy; they demand Yuan's elimination and the punishment of the promoters of the monarchy; worried about troops in the North attacking Peking; Japan has backed revolution in the South.
