CHINESE PAMPHLET..
The Chinese Question in Australis, 1876- 1879. Edited by L. Kong Mong, Cheok. Hong Cheong and Louis Al Mouy. Molbourne, 1879,
This is an enthusiastic nervously written but poble protest against the anjust treat- ment accorded to Chinese in Australia. The writers begin their argament by pointing. out how China was forced into the comity of nations by treaties compelling the Chinese Goveranient to open up the Celestial Empire to foreign enterpriss but implying also reci- procity of treatment to Chinese emigrants to foreign countries. They next point to the treatment actually accorded to Chinese in Australia by Englishmen, who, entirely ignorant of China, its government, literature, language and civilisation, and forgetful of the fact that China had reached a very high stage of sivilisation when Britain was peo pled by naked savages, and that its Confu-. olan ethics compare favourably with Chris- tianity, stigmatize overy Chinaman as an ignorant pagan or filthy barbarian, oknas The "CHINA REVIEW."-Jenuary end Fo-Chinese miners from the goldfields, fores steamboat companies to dismiss their Chinese employés, and say to the Chinese in effect

however, to which we should like to call V. W. X.'s attention. In Ode 21 the two last lines of the 2nd verse are hardly postioal. We quote the whole verse :—
you must not earn a livelihood by hawking or by handicrafts in these colonies; you must leave off cultivating gardens and fabri dating furniture; you must either starve, bog, steal or vanish. Now whilst warmly sympathizing with the Chinese sufferers in this conflict of races and trade interests, we cannot shut our eyes to the fact that there underlies all the arguments of this pamphlet one great fallacy. The authors demand reciprocity of treatment. New granting for argument's sake, that Chinese had been forbidden to work mines in Australia, that they had been prevented buying land or day life. "The Ballads of the Shi-king" acquiring property in the interior, that they were not allowed to compete by hawking, show a marked improvement on the previous gardening, and various handicrafts with translations. Several of the Odes are rend-native Australian enterprise, are the authors of the pamphlat unaware that foreigners in ered with a vigour and elegance that could China have no such privileges accorded to hardly have been expected when we bear in them? All the Treaty allows is residence mind that the translations are intended to and trade in certain ports within a limited radius of each, beyond which radius a European may travel indeed but he may not purchase an inch of ground, he has no right to build houses or acquire other property, let alone his engaging in competition with native enterprise. Chins is not open yet to foreigners as Australia and California and all other countries really are open to Chinese, China has not yet entered into the comity of nations either of her own free will or by - force of compulsion, and although we sin- cerely deplore the treatment accorded to Chinese in Australia and California, yet we - is think that, as a matter of reciprocity and international right, Chinese have no basis. for their demand to be admitted to all the privileges of citizenship in foreign countries. Another fallacy runs through the pamphlet in propounding Meadows rose-coloured descriptions of the exoellenoy of Chinese Government and administration on the one hand, and Miss Martineau's and Hepworth Dixon's splenetic descriptions of European immorality as truthful statements of the relative soundness of English and Chiness civilisation. Nevertheless the pamphlet as a whole will do good in Australia, and we earnestly hope not only that Chinese in Australia and other foreign countries will bo admitted to all the privileges any other alien can legally claim, but that eventually Chins also will really open up her inland provinces to foreign enterprise with the same narestricted freedom with which Chi nese are received abroad.
