These two policies have recently been des cribed by a French writer as the calon al policy and the policy of diplomany. The first confines its view ulancst exclusively to the extension of French influence in the Indo-Chinese penis- suls, while the second, which is the policy not only of M, Delcassé, but of some of his most Foreign Office, was defuitely embodied in a proposal, made by M. Waddington to the Marquis of Enlisbury as far back as April, 1889 for the neutralisation of Siam, when the French Ambassador stated (be desire THE ANGLO-SIAMESE TREATY. of Government to establish Fiam "as a strong independent kingdom, with well- An interesting contribution appears in the defined borders on both sides, by which a Morning Post on the ontlook for the ratifica permanent barrier might be established between which states:--- tion of the Treaty between France and Siamthe possessions of Great Britain and France in

"salling-off."
It is alleged against the Siamese Government that, while making no provision for appointing French bacteriologists, it has provided in its Low Budget for the payment of British officials in the Fiamese Malay Sintes, that it is arming ing for a loan in London, and that it has granted to an English company and to the Hongkong and Slaughsi Bank a concession for building a railway $4 kilomètres in leog h ́ from Bangkok to Taobin. The inference suggested is that Sladi is sacrificing French interests to these of Great Britain. So for as the provision in the Siamess Budget for the payment of British officials in the Siamese-Malay States is concerned the explans tion is a perfectly simple one. The Anglo- Siamese Treaty ie in full force, and provision must vaturally bo made for the payment of the Resident and Assistant-Residente, who will repreeant the Siamese Government at the Courts of the Rajaks of Kelantan and Tron- gann. There officials are to be appointed by the Siamese Government with the approval of the British Government, and in a sense they vill no doubt be British officials, since they will be British subjects in the employment of the Siamese Government.
