British Rule.
With a fine disregard for histori- Leal fact and of the circumstances: under which Welhalyei came to be Bol. British possession, the Fahevised students of China havel Eplaced Welhalwe in their list of the eight crimes of the British Government. Yet if it were pos- sible to invite the, inhabitants of this Territory, to vote on the ques- tion-by secret ballet-I have little doubt there would be a substantial majority in favour of the retention os British rule i proferece t Chinese administration. We have our local "patriots" and it speaks) well for the general wisdom, the broad toleration of British rule that some of the most rabid are em- ployees of the local Government, There is, of course, no interference with freedom of speech, with legitimate criticfam, but we realise that. there is a certain lig that may not be croised: that words Fand acts that might lead to public disturbance will te sternly dealt with.

The boundary of the Territory et Weihaiwei is a semi-circle ten miles from the shore of the har- bour. But within this area is a enelave, the walled City, which hus! all along been under Chinese juris-" diction. Of recent years there has been an appreciable migration of the inhabitants of the City, whe have bought them land and built them housea in British territory. Fer one reason, or another, these people seem to prefer to live under The rule of "brutal and in- perialistfe". Government! And the unbiased observer, whether Chi- nese or foreign, will surely con- (clude that since action speak louder than words-this migration is a distinct tribute to the gener justice and eficiency of British administration. Nor can there be | much doubt as to the views of the historian of the future. He, gur ly, will decide that, when 28 years

Motor Traffic.
At the Washington Conference Lord Balfour' auggested the con- struction of a railway to connect: A Weihaiwel with its hinterland. few months later the Retrocession Commission went into the question and decided that a railway was Impracticable, but that motor roads should be constructed. There cun be little doubt that when rendition is an accomplished fact the im portation of motors will be. per- mitted-at present forbidden by! didinance and proclamation, dated 1920. This ordinance confers on! Welhalwel the almost unique, dis- tinction of being one of very few places under the sun where motur traffic is officially forbidden, and the history of this question la ot
