Hitherto England has used no pressure to secure railway contracts, but has left China free to dispose of them as she thought beat, which means simply giving them to the parties that ear secure the strongest diplomatic support; and other nations have had to scruple or hesitation in using their diphimney for that purpose. Great Britain's policy of neutrality in the matter may be very dignified, but so far does not ocen to have been very profitable,
If other nations are to insist upon having railway monopolies would it not be well for Great Britain to secure a monopoly of railway construction, say, in Mid-China and the province of Kwungtung?
