It is quite true that in comparison with the debts of Western nations that of China is a mere bagatelle, and a contemporary reminds us that New York, London and Paris have municipal debts larger than the CO whole National Debt of the vast Chinese Empire. It is at the same time quite rightly pointed out that China is but lightly taxed compared with the taxation in Western countries, and, moreover, the National Debt of China differs from that of any other country in that it is held by the Govern
or citizens of foreign countries, instead of by its own people.

that not one-half the amount collested from the taxpayers of China finds its way into the treasury. There would be little need to talk at the present time of increas- ing taxation if only what is now raised were honestly administered. We need refer only to the revenue from the taxation of the land in China. The reported collection is only Tls. 26,000,000; the almost probable actual | collection is Tls. 102,000,000, - but the possible collection has been estimated by high authorities at Tls. 375,000,000 to Tls. 450,000,000. If it be true that the National Debt of China is retarding the rapid devel opment of the resources of the country, by withdrawing funds which would otherwise be devoted to that object, the Government is to blame for not taking measures to ensure that the whole of the money raised by taxation is fully accounted for and applied to provincial or national purposes instead of so large a part of it going to the personal enrichment of offeinds.
