The following interview with Sir John Jordan on the erounmic state of
Fifty all-metal airships of giant size, China was obtained a few months plying here and there through the air but was not published at the time (says the "derver""), as it was then possible that Sie John wight l"culled in to advise the British Cartrament on certain points.
His death removes that necessity for reserve; and the inforview will be read with sunt interest owing to develop ments in Chiau since it was written. In the first place. Sir John Jordan divided the external debt of China into four distinct groups. He considered that first in order of merit and security should be placed those loans which are specifically secured on the Maritime Cus toms revenues. Next should come those obligations secured partly on those re venues and partly on the revenues of the Salt Administration; thirdly, the rail way loans and finally, the great number of issues made in recent years without regard to the ability if the coun try either to meet the service with any thing like regularity, or ultimately to repay the capital.
It is reassuring to learn that so far as the leans completely secured on the Im perial Maritime Customs are concerned, Sir Julun regards them as being absolute. ly sale in every rexpert. "The revenues out of which the money required for the service of these loans is paid." he point ed out, are collected regularly by rea ponsible British and other officers in the service of the Chinese Government and paid into responsible European banking institutions. When the requisite amount has hern deneted from these revenues. the balance is handed to the Chinese authorities, and is then, of course, pass- ed into the national Treasury for use in the general administration of the coun-
try.'

Asked as to the possibility of China using other ports and diverting trade from the established centres, and out of reach of the Imperial Maritime Customs, Sir John was most emphatic in his reply. He stated, in effect, that such a course * Millions was practically impossible. have been invested in the treaty ports, be said. "and vested interests in the hands of Europeana and Chinese alike are alone suficient to make a change unlikely. For, be it remembered, the Chinese ar A very conservative race. Airendy such an experiment has been moated-at Canton-but only to mest with that measure of success which is on a par with failure."
Such is the scheme, the greatest ever devised in dying, which is now being completed, as a result of private con ferentes in London, Paris, Berlin, and New York, attended by financiers, trans- port experts, and aeronautical engineers The finance of this world air project is now said to be assured.

The suggestion was made that the rail ways might eventually be brought into a system of central control, with the con- trot vested in an International Railways Control Board. This board could have the mileage viting powers according owned by subjects of the various foreign Powers. Op this point Sir John was, dubious, observing that the Chinese were suspicious of foreign control.
