Itveryone who has been following events in Siam during the last few years are aware of the strenuous efforts made by the French Government's representative in Bangkok to ensure the registration of the Chiese inha- biting Siam France has declared that these Celestials, are her pr. dagup that it is her mission to look after their welfare and ensure their protection. There is, however, something grimly comical and thoroughly Machiavellan in this Siamese policy to those who know the way the Chinese are treated. in Tonking and Annam by this paternal Government. The few French firms of any importance which exist in that colony are more or less under obligation to the Government. Their prosperity, and some- times their very existence, depend mainly on obtaining contracts f supplying the wants of the army and fleet, the sale of railway material, the construction of the lies and other P.W.D. work and the farming of the different monopolies, such as opiuni, natire alcohol, str.

Of course, several of the firms in question do a certain amount of import business in goods for the use of the native population, but there, as elsewhere in the East, it is transacted through the Chinese maidleman. What is known as the com- pradore in Hongkong does not exist in Tonking. In his place we find numerous large or small Chinese merchants dealing with the native buyer who, in hine cases out FURNITURE of ten, will not treat directly with the French.
