A correspondent writes to the

News as follows :
Sir,-A week ago, in reply to our- respondence in your columns ad- vocating stronger

| Shanghai against strikers und editorial others, you pallished an
veneession versus Concilia- tion. In it the withdrawn of emergency measures was advocated, it was said ther, were signs that the strike was about to collapse, and the pious hope was printed that the | Chinese would readily respond to
conciliation.
It is admittally essay to criticise, especially prophets; but there is wason to do so because it is more that probable that such sentiments us the above, expressed in a foreign ziewspaper, do much to strengthem. the hands and inspin the courage of the strike ouders and agitator, |und even morɑ tu evuse such, men as the vice-president of the Chinese Chamber of Commérée to come out int-footed for swike and boycolt, when before they wavered hetween two opinions.
There is on ebaracteristic that! every foreign student of the Chinese elnmeter his commented upon. The Chinamun je over and always on the side of the strong: he never sidos with the weak. "He is, according to his idea, on the side of the strong now, and it still remains to be scoli whether he is right or not.

To carry on waterfront work Malays are being imported and are working well. But the regulation that has had more effect than aiiy other is one that requires the expulsion of every striker from the Colony. A Chinose to live in Hongkong has to work; in Shaughni he can do as he pleases. The effect of this places every worker in Hongkong of Chin ese nulionility in a dilemma.

Your previous correspondent sag- gested seven! schemes for bringing. the strike home to those who are reponsible for it. Here are others that have been tried out, and not, found wanting, for in Hongkong many of the strikers, the printers among them, have returned to work and are trying to forget.
