In all that precedes it is assumed that China can and will reform. I find this to be the opinion of the men who have kcown Chios longest and best. Sir Robert Hart, who has spent Early four out of his total of alxy-three years in this country, has no dontt of it. Dr. Marila, who was thirty years in the Impeilst service, bead of the Tangwen College, and one of the formost writer on Chinese iterature and philosophy, is equally confident. Outside pressure will do her good, but the country needs peace. The Chlaese are themselves aware that they stand on the edge of precipice. They are almost paralysed by fear of Russts, and require external guidance. China wants a leader, sad the Chinese system does not famous the coming of the strong man la the hour of supreme need. War on China's account at this moment would be worse than aseless, The Feking Government must be made to feel that they have to work out their Den salvation. Our policy is clear.

I cannot help quoting a story which I heard only yesterday from traveller fresh from Mongolia. Due aerib from here, beyond the Great Wall of Chin», is a gold mining company which is doing remarkably well. In this favour ed land, where public rights do not exist and private sights ie not recognised, you never publish glowing aancial reports. That would spell "squeeza"; so the particular concern in question deplores parennial loss and lives ap parently on its accumulating deficiencies. Three Sikte aspectors of the mandaria order were sent down to examine the condition of affairs. The Chinese managers knew. better than to go into the detalls of the workings. For full fortnight two of the worthies were kept Jütoxi cated most of the time with oplom, and all three with champagne ; while to cheer them at lucid istervals fifteen girls "skilled in singing and the dance" were imported from the towns. I have no doubt the filò were all Confucian morallets, bet they were not proof against oplum, wise, singing girls, and tzels, and they went ther way to report that the mine was, alas, a losing With the growing isolation of the Chinese Court of the last few generations in- creasing degeneracy has kept pace. Every pro. minent writer, and even the nalive novels and plays, have depleted the decay.
