BRITISH TRADE INTERESTS IN CHINA.
In the discussion on the Foreign Office Vote on 10th st. in the House of Com- mena, Mr. G. A. Lloyd, after reviewing what was had not gained in the Middle, East, drew attention to the Far East
He said that though the position was not quita so serious, there was still ground for great anxiety and criticism. Wo had practically no duties on Chinese exports, and we had treated China in evory way with peculiar generosity and fairness. Such an advantage in negotiation, together with the advantages which our traders and producers were alleged to possess, should have brought about, one would have thought, an irresistible come- bination, sweeping the board in China. With other nations handicapped-as everyone on the Government benches would admit--by a system making com petition with us in the acquisition, of concessions more difficult and exposed to the reproach which Chins could make against them, "You treat our exporte with a huge tariff," no one would have thought they stood a chance in negotiation for what was going." But what were the facts Excluding for the purpose of his argument Manchuria and Shantung. where respectively Russia and Germany admittedly beld a special position, a simple agreement was concluded in 1905 by which, in return for keeping out of certain areas, we were to be given a privi- leged position in the Yangtare Valley, As the Foreign Office witnessed the agreement it was obviously their duty to see that in return for our self-denying ordinances in other areas the agreement was respected by the other nations concerned. He rain- tained that they had not done so. Accord ing to the agreement certain people were not to require concessions in the Yangtsze Valley. The Germans, however, had come right down to the Yangtze with a railway, the Russians and Belgians had also como right down into the valley, while the French, in addition to having built a railway penetrating to Yunnan, had now got a concession to build fragi YmuẨn to Chunking. He gave these as samples of what the Foreign Office was not doing and might do to assist more actively the British traders. In the old day's our position was not hotly contested, but now it was a great international

It was not good policy, whether in the case of Russia, Germany, or anybody else. to mortgage our future and to give way on all these commercial points because of certain arrangements which were operating and would, he hoped, con- tinue to operate in regard to theso countries. (Cheers)
Sir J. Rees wished that the Foreign Secretary, in the matter of commerce and foreign affairs, would take the line which was taken by the great statesman whose 1 loss they all deplored, the late Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, He complained that no support was given by the Foreign Office to British merchants the Yangtssz Valley or Judeed, in any other part of the world.

If I had laurels I diplomatic pressure, would much rather not, wear them on my brow, but put them in my necket. (Laughter.) With regard to Chinesc railways, notes were exchanged between His Majesty's Government and Chinese Government in 1898 by which the Chinese Government pledged themselves not to alienate the Yangtze region to another Power, That holds good still, and there has been no question of alienat ing the Yangtze region. The Hongkong and Shanghai. Bank and the Deutsch Asiatische Bank nede, an agreement in 1895 for sharing loans in China, and hnancial onerations for railways were to be the subject of special agreements. An | additional clause was added in 1905 modi- fying the 1895 agreement so as to allow greater freedom of action on the part of either party. In 1898 an agreement was signed between the two groups defining the sphere if interest of the two countries regarding ailway construction in China, leaving the Yangtse Valley to Great Britain and Shantung to Germany. Those were arrangements between two particular commercial groups; they are and it has not always been very favour policy in fature which disturbs the Indian not like treaties between Governments. ably disposed to Chinese investment.

It is ouite true that there are some parts of the world: where trade cannot make its way, at any rate in, the form of concessions, without diplomatic support. There is, however, another side to the matter. Diplomatic support depends on the willingness of capital to come forward and invest. For some years, at any rate, British capital was most reluctant to invest in Tarkey,

As to Thibet, just at that mament when we had entered into a treaty which made China's position secure, she must needs attempt to conquer Thibet and turn it into a province of China, carrying ber agressive action so far that the Indian frontier begins to be unsettled. That really was a most unreasonable action, of which we have great ground for complaint. But for that action there would havo breu no new Convention. The sole object of the new Convention was to get China to agree to certain boundaries outside which Thibet should be autonomous and- not interfered with. I am sorry to say that so far China has not signed the Con- Vention, but I still hope she may. If she does not and resorts to an aggressive
