MORE TRADE
WITH CHINA
We published yesterday a special article wherein the writer sought to demonstrate where and how Britain had lost considerable commercial" prestige in the Far Bast through the tightening-up of her credit system. That this subject has been exercising the minda of British Statesmen and financiers for a long time is well known, and we publish on our front page to-day a very tangible result of the searching investiga tions which have been pains- takingly made with a view to stimulating trade with the Far East generally and China parti- cularly.
11 is particularly appropriate that we suotid shortly
discuss this most important subject in view of the arrival today froin Canton of a delegation of leaders in e reuis of trade and com- merce in Southern China.
Let the fact be frankly stated -Britain has very heavy losses to make-up before she can regain anything approximating to her former eminent position in the Chinn trade. There was; it is true, some revival last year, but even then Britain provided less than twelve per cent. of China's imports.

Owing to the fact that units of the garrison will be in camp from next
some week onwards for months, it is unlikely that the numbers attending the mid-week shoots will be as large as they have been during the last three or four weeks, but this should have no ap- preciable effect, upon the level of the scoring, and those responsible for the forthcoming "Oversens” event are regarding the result of that shoot with considerable optim- ism. Unfortunately, however, the of Shooting under which this competition takes place debars any member of the Royal Navy or the Royal Marines who is not actually "resident in the Colony from taking part, which means that only those who are borne on the books of the HMS.
