Note 2 — Chapter III · CONSULTATIVE AND ADMINISTRATIVE ORGANS

Wang Shih-chieh, "The People's Political Council," The Chinese Year Book 1938-39, cited, p. 346-55; the same, The People's Political Council, [Chungking], [1939?], pamphlet, reprinted from The China Quarterly, Vol. 4, No. I (Winter 1938-39). Dr. Wang's contributions, brief as they are, worthily supplement his pre-war constitutional studies, and provide the most carefully annotated data on the Council which the present author has found. The list of members given in the first article, above, is one of the most interesting documents of our time, giving, as it does, the residence, profession, and age of each Councillor. Beside "Former Prime Minister" one finds "Living Buddha attached to the Panchen Lama," "Reserve Member, Executive Committee, the Third International," "Professor, National Peking University" and "Head of the Mêng Clan, Descendants of Mencius."
