LUST, OPPORTUNITIES AT SHANGHALE.
The history of the British settlement (at - Shanghai illustrates the extent to which" a policy of drift may be carried when a Govern ment allows events to shape their way without attempting to direct their course.. Although British pioneers bore the whole burden of . securing a footing in the Yangis delta, their offorts have been largely neutralised by the persistent refusal of the British Government to afford the trading community of Shanghai the protection which was obtained at Hongkong by means of territorial adnexation. To this day Shanghai remains, not à political possession, but a 'commercial settlement, in which tha' degrading machinery of Chinese sovereignty is inconveniently and immorally intermixed with the administrative procedura established by the European settlers for the self-government of their community. On two recent (occasions rejected opportunities occurred for retrieving the frors due to past omission. The an nexation of Wei-hai in 1898 was an undignified- raply to the high-handed seizure of Kiao-chan by Germany and of Port-Artbur by Russia, Had Shanghai been annexed instead of Wei- hai-Wei, a rich commercial prizo would have. been acquired by pacific arrangement, and all those complicated questions, which are daily, becoming more and more acutè, would have? been settled by the establishment of British rule. Again, in 1900, had Great Britain, in the face of the Boxer troubles declared her resolve to safeguard the lives and property of her.sub. jects at Shanghai by annexing the settlement, which is hers by right of concession, the ac quiescence of the other powers could at that time have been counted on. Salus civitatis supremalex. Now that England is bound by treaty to maintain, the territorial integrity of the Chinese Empire, the opportunity for estab lishing British sovereignty at Shanghai bas passed away.

Whatever industrial clungei may take place in China, their effect will be to increase the commercial importance of shanghai, Situated some twelve miles up the Whoangpoo river, Shanghai has established its position as the seaport for the trade which goes up and down the valley of the mighty Yangtze waterway as it follows its course from Tibet to the coas through the heart of the richest provinces of China Railways will have a large share in The further development of China, but her Special attention given to effectively display foreign trade depends much more on that in- -comparable network of internal waterways ing advertisements.

The political situation at Shanghai is compli cated and unsatisfactory. The settlement, which was once exclusively British, has now become. international. Without any formal retrocession of their legal rights as concession- aires, the members of the British commualty have allowed first the Americans, then the Germans, and afterwards other nationalities to be absorbed in the original British, settlement. and have a abate in its administration France alone stands out from other nations, maining a separate settlement under the exclusive control of French officials.
The Government of the International settle-- ment is in the hands of a so-called municipal council consisting of ten members, who are annually, elected by European househeldon paying a minimum monthly rent of fifty dollars. The electorate under this franchise is about 800-a small proportion of the foreign popula. tion, sow amouating to nearly twelve thousand, The consuls, who form an International Court, under the presidency of the senior, are in their turn responsible to the Ministers of the Poweis at Pekin, who exercise a veto on the proceedings of the Shanghai Municipal Go. vernment through the local consular author. ities. The municipal council has no judicial functions, which are exercised by a variety of courts, each of the Powers retaining juria. diction over its own subjects. For the British community, with a population of 4, 00, there is · Supreme Court presided over by a chief just- ice. Besides having local iurisdiction at Shang. bai, this court is the Court of Appeal from the decisions of British Cosals at the various treaty ports of China. 1 or the litigation and trial of Chinese subjects living in the interna. tional settlement there is what is known as the Mixed Court, which is presided over by a Chi nese magistrate, who is assi ted by three- assessors-one British; one American, and the other German. This court has recently come into conflict with the municipal council, owing to its maladministration of justice;
The complicated system of government de scribed above can hardly endure much longer. Throughout the settlement there is a call for reform, and a desire to substitute a regulir form of government for the present amaitue arrangements. During the past five years the foreign population has nearly doubled, while the Chinese inhabitants residing within the European boundaries have ipcreased by 100,000. There are nearly 12,000 foreigners and 450,000 Chinese in the settlement, the adjoining Chinese city containing 150,000 more. The Europeans -bankers, merchants, shippers, contractors- are too busy to find time for public duties, which IXPRESSES: can best be performed by a responsible gover- er at the head of a trained civil service. Brit- ish influence is at present in the ascendant, there being seven British members on the coun cil and only three members of other national- ities. If it were possible by common consent of the whole foreign community to bring about a pacific coup d'ciat, and set up the prese: t-po- pular British Cossul-General as governor, this would doubtless be the best way of dealing with
a problem which is assuming acute di mensions.
