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.

December 17, 1915. Anderson and Donald's plan for China to join Allies; thinks Yuan has made a deal with Japan; Questions what Japan has offered China to keep her from making separate peace with Germany; "I am inclined to think that Yuan will make it an absolute government as he dares.

General feeling that Yuan is sorry he embarked on monarchical plan; evidence is overwhelming that there is now almost no personal loyalty to Yuan; he has lost the respect of China and is viewed as policial appointment who has always thought first of his own aggrandisement; with this feeling widespread I do not see how he can long control the situation; members of Citizens convention who had been elected to that body would be made members of the Si Fu Yuan; practically no case or care has been made for my services since I refrained from coming out in favor of a monarchy.

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. May 12, 1916. (2 letters). Written from Toronto; Yuan has lost almost all his prestige; he is no longer the one strong man; does not think Cabinet system will work; is for strong President with an assembly to gather public opinion - not the seat of authority; "I see no hope for China unless she is prepared to act in a radical way."
