In the House of Commons on the 3rd inst.,
Sir J.

Sir E. Grey. With regard to the first part of the question, respecting the, purely financial aspect of the loan, I must refer the hon. member to the reply which I gave him on the 12th ult. I am unable to accept the conclusions which the hon. member has drawn from a comparison between the subseriptions to the two loans; referred to. The public are naturally. free to choose their own investments and his Majesty's Government have no control over their choice. Many previous loans hoth to China and other countries have had the diplomatic support of his Majesty's Government; in this instance have been quoted as low as 10 sen per 100 his Majesty's Government were only one of yen, or 2 per £100, while 12 sen net has five Powers, whe gave support without, been accepted for a sprinklered cotton however, incurring Any liability such as a guarantee.

HOW FOREIGN COMPANIES ARE REGULATED.
The question of insurance has assumed great importance in Japan during the past few months, and is, therefore, worth going into at some length.
