insisted upon British shipowners would The have to incur considerable expenditure in order to refit their vessels, but the most serioas objection to the proposed The regalations is that no similar rostric- tions apply to vessels trading under foreigz Bags, and, in consequence, if The the change is insisted upon, the coolie passenger trade will be diverted entirely from British vessels.

equal tonnage to British steamers can carry double the number of coolies from a Treaty Port or Hongkong to Siam, Java or the Straits. The natural result is that if foreign steamers were avail- 2.24 able, British steamers would fail to get even a share in the trade. It is to the Chinese charterer's benefit to crowd as many coolies on board a steamer as it will possibly held, irrespective of questions of 187 safety or health or decency. To hur, the comfort of his fellow-countrymen is of no moment. The incorn he derives from the transaction is of more account than the lives of Chinese coolies. We venture to think no Britisher would be found willing to acquiesce with Chinese notions on this subject, and on board British steamers already sufficient safa- guards are taken for the comfort and safety of passengers.
