contrast set up in the Netherlands-India between the treatmout of one Asiatic race and another necessarily gives a spur to reflection and excites a natural desire for emancipation from restrictions which are considered by them to be humiliating. At the same time the conditions in the Dutch Colonies cannot compare so very badly with the conditions in China, or the emigration of Chineser to Netherlands-India wonkl not have increased to the stent shown by, the census returus, Nor does, it appear from the telegraphic summary of the Convention that the con- ditions are to be materially changed, excopt in regard to the-vered question of nation- ality. The Government of the Netherlands concedes the right of Consular representa-" tion in the Colonies, but China on her part admits the Dutch nationality of Chinese who are born in the Dutch Colonies, and it. is stated that the Convention also sur- mounts the question of a dual nationality. The position of this question down to the present time is that, by the Dutch law, children born of Chinese in the Colony are considered Hutch subjects, while a Chinese law prohibits Chinese from being naturalised, and in the negotiations which have been proceeding we gather that
was prepared Dutch nationality of children born in the Colonies of the Netherlands with the limita tion that they should lose their Dutch nationality on returning to Chinand become Chinese-subject. To this Haluk refused to nssent, and China appears to have urged, and quite justifiably it seems to us, that the treatment of Chinese in the Dutch Indies is quite exceptional. It lms been pointed out that acquiescence on China's part to the Dutel demand in this regard would mean that Chinese Dutch subject on returning to China would be a foreigner, who would need to take out pass- ports to travel to his ancestral home, if it were not within the limits of a Treaty port.
