list China was considered. It was seen that she was successful in her civil wars at some time (Kala ) and that she was unsuccessful at other times (Kila ). Taking into consideration these two facts one after the other, it was found on the line of the third Bhanga, that the nationalist China was wanting in self-reliance.' Then again considering these two facts simultaneously on the line of the fourth Bhanga, the nature of the nationalist China would appear to be inexpressible in some respects, which may be described as that " She was powerless against the popular upsurge.” These two truths combined in the manner of the seventh predication reveal still another novel fact about Chiang's China viz., that it is not broad-based on the well-being of the Chinese people.'
It should be remembered that the illustrations above show how the method of the Sapta Bhanga may be formally applied to a mode of arguments. They do not show that the application of the Sapta Bhanga in those cases has been materially correct. It is thus always possible that the conclusions in them may after all be found to be incorrect and no better than the opinions of the protagonists.
