The following letter in the North- 292.08 China Daily News tells the story!
Sir, Your "Note and Comment ** $35,359.92 on Likin in to-day's issue has occasion- ed this Chamber, as it will cause others, some surprise.
You ask: "Why this sudden eagerness to fulfil the terms of the Mackay Treaty nearly 18 years after it was completed and during all of which it has remained a dead letter," and then you remark we do not wish to be uncharitable, but what has Peking got to make out of abolishing Likin?" You proceed to refer to the Chinese Government's suggestions as a "trap."
The interest which the Peking Government is taxing in the Likin $24,357.33 question is the direct result (a) of a resolution passed last November by 59,747.25 the Conference held in Shanghai of $10,715.83 British Chambers of Commerce in China and Hongkong (b) of repre- $70,463.08sentations made by H.

Long life is not of itself a gout. Life itself is merely tine-time in which to enjoy or to suffer. You want your bad times to be short, and so it follows that you do not welcome the prolongation of a life unhappy. Human nature is so queerly compacted that even long sustained good times pall and become tedious, and "anything for a change" is the heartfelt nepira- tion of the average human adult. Such reflections are commonplace enough to wall for apology, were it not for the auspicion that they need re-iteration. Confess, for instance, that you had overlooked, until just now, the thought that the "life" you call
