Lord Balfour's Speech.
"CHINA MUST SET HER OWN HOUSE IN ORDER.".
That Britain is anxious to do all she can to help China, but, nothing can be done until China-sets her own house in order were vital points made in an important speech delivered by the Earl of Ealfpur, upon behalf of the Imperial Government in the House of Lords yesterday. Another notable point made by Lord Balfour that nothing any foreign Power had done to China was responsible for the state of Chronic civil warn the country.

As regards extra-territoriality, the Earl of Balfour said that the. report of the Commission had not yet reached the Foreign Ofee. He believed that the arrangement the Commission rcommended had been. unanimously recommended both by the Chinese and foreign members. This seemed very satisfactory, but he was unwilling to commit himself further till he knew more.
The Earl of Balfour agreed with Lord Parmoor that the existing tariffs could not be maintained in their entirety, but in view of the chaotic condition of China, the Tarif Commission was unable to alt and all it could do in-earrying

China's First Need:
The Earl of Balfour added that there was nothing Britain desired more than the good, feelings of the two communities. The Chinese had "just reuson for their disappoint- ment at the delay in carrying out the recommendations of the Washington Conference. Britain also agreed that there were Te- forms which might. and should be carried out last.
The thing we desired to do was to suggest that we held; or desired to hold an illegitimate position of superiority in connection with the affairs of China. If Chinese and British -representatives. could frankly converse it would be found that differences in principle did not. exist.
Temporarily. however, special) arrangements might have to be made for not interfering with the! dignity of China or the autonomcus development of the exterior rangements but the arrangements: would be of somewhat exceptional character.

That could easily be arranged between the Chinese and ourselves, but it was impossible to see how: any satisfactory policy could be carried out either by ourselves or by any Western Power or all the Western Powers acting together until China set her own house in order. Reuter.
