Starting with the admission of a fuct which has long been a notorious scandal, the not one official in the Foreign Office has served in the Far East, he proceeded to say that it would be difficult to introduce a different system What the reason of the difficulty is we should like to know. Perhaps Lord LANSDOWNE stated the reason, but if so our correspondent has not telegraphed it to us. It is probable, however, that some vague generalities were thought sufficiat for the House of Lords. They will not satisfy those who know how hadly the present system works.
