CHINA'S FOREIGN TRADE.
HONGKONG'S FIGURES.
The following particulars regarding foreign competition with British manufec. tured goods in the Ching market have been received from H.M. Commercial Attache at Peking (Mr. W. P. Ker, C.M.G.):—
The value of the net imports of foreign goods into China in 1914 was £75,022,172, as compared with £86,113,303 in 1913. The chief countries participating in this trade
were as follows:-

NEARER THE FINAL STAGE.
In a long war success dependa mainly apon the respective financial resources of the combatants and the consequent power of one of them to maintain, or to add to, its fighting strength when the other's is declining or is not capable of expansion. It is not in doubt that the financiare sources of the Allies, when fully mobilised and wisely controlled, will be vastly greater than the enemy's
Therefore, the enemy's efforts have been
directed to three essential matters: 1. To seize victory the forces of the Allies could be mobilised in overwhelming strength, 2. To reduce the economic and financial
strength of the Allies,
3.
Te prevent the Allies from making or purchasing sufficient equipment and ammunition for their ever-expanding forces. N
