From China in Revolution by Harley Farnsworth MacNair, 1931

In the Preface to the San Min Chu I, translated by Frank W. Price, are to be found the following statements : �It now happens that the Kuomingtang is being reorganized [etc.]

As mentioned above, the three principles of the people are the principle of the people�s nationalism, the principle of the people�s sovereignty (democracy), and the principle of the people�s livelihood. In the mind of Dr. Sun the first issue—nnationalism—included the struggle for international equality, self-determination of the weaker peoples, the cultivation of the best in ld China and the supplementing of this with the best from modern culture so that progress should be constant. The second issue—sovereignty—stood for participation in the government by the people, and included a differentiation between governmental power, such as election, recall, initiative, and referendum, which should be in the hands of the people, and ruling authority, that is, the judicial, legislative, executive, civil service examination, and censorship—in other words, the five-power government—wich should be in the hands of the duly elected rulers. The third principle—livelihood—aimed at economic equality of the people by the equalization of landholdings and the prevention of land monopoly, the limitation of private capital, and the gradual bringing-in of state capitalism. A vague and undefined socialism, but distinctly not Marxism, which he criticized and refuted in considerable detail, was the aim of Dr. Sun in his third principle.

Two facts related to the San Min Chu I have not received the attention they deserve ; first, that a period of more than three months elapsed between the presentation of the two series of six lectures each, on �The Principle of the People�s Nationalism� and �The Principle of the People�s Sovereignty,� and the last four lectures on �The Principles of the people�s Livelihood� ; and, second that during this period a book entitled The Social Interpretation of History, by an American scholar, Dr. Maurice William, of New York City, fell into Dr. Sun�s hands which profoundly affected his philosophy of history and revolution as presented in his analysis of the third principle.¹

      ¹ Cf. ibid., trans. Frank W. price, [Sun Yat-sen, San Min Chu I . . . Shanghai : The Commercial Press.] p. 382; J. W. Jenks, Why Chine Repudiated Bolshevism, a lecture delivered at New York University on February 6, 1929; Maurice William, Sun Yat-sen versus Communism, a mimeographed pamphlet sent to the writer by Dr. William, containing proof of the relationship between his work and Dr. Su�s third principle.

The lectures on the first and the second principles were delivered between January 27 and April 26, 1924 ; those on the third principle were given between August 3 and August 24. In the first two series the ideology, as well as the criticism of the great powers, presents the viewpoint of a follower of Marx ; in the third series, however, a definite change of view is indicated. Dr. Sun was too securely bound to the Russian chariot by this time, and too dependent on continued support from the Russian [i.e. �Bolshevik�] revolutionists, to break with them ; this is evident by the tone of his speeches in Shanghai and Japan in the last months of 1924. Nevertheless, in point after point he cites Marx only to criticize the latter�s arguments and conclusions, and to advocate in their stead the theories which he had somewhat gropingly been developing for several years and which he found carefully and precisely formulated by the American thinker in the volume mentioned. In paragraph after paragraph Dr. Sun either quoted, almost word for word, or paraphrased, the arguments which he had found in The Social Interpretation of History. He now repudiated in reality several of his own earlier theories, without, however, directly calling attention to the fact, and rejected Marx�s materialistic conception of history, the necessity for the class struggle, and the theory of surplus values, substituting therefore the system of thought which he had recently discovered in Dr. William�s work.

The third series of lectures was never completed, ad Dr. Sun died shortly over six months later, surrounded mainly by those who were converts to revolutionary Russian thought and sustenance. The conflict of theory to be traced between parts of the earlier and the later writings of Dr. Sun accounts in part for the split between his adherents which followed is death. What might have happened had he completed his lectures on the principle of livelihood, and, more particularly, had he lived another decade, it is, of course, impossible to opine. It is, however, an interesting matter on which to ponder. From the viewpoint of the Russians[ i.e. �Bolsheviks�] and the significance of the spread of their communistic doctrines in China, the Kuomingtang leader died not a moment too soon ; it would have been better had he passed from the scene at the end of April, 1924. there would have been fewer grounds for controversy among his followers. Bu it was not too late for men of decision to profit by his union with the Russians during the years 1923-24 ; moreover, it was possible to stress the first two of the principles at the expense of the third, which is admittedly incomplete, and continue the alliance with the soviets without whose aid there was small hope of success for the Kuomingtang revolutionists.
