it has been encouraged by the rather looks way in which certain provisions of the Act of 1906 were drawn. We pointed but long ago that Chinese had only to say me, Hongkong," and it was highly improbable that any marine superintendent would challenge him op the ground of insufficient acquaintance with En- glish, since the language test does not apply to aby British subject or inhabitant of a British. protectorate. Mr. Kearley says the Chinese have abused, the section. We should prefer to say that they have used the section, although not perhaps very scrupulously. The facility with which the Chinese can get a ship has, we doubt, not, been accentuated by the fact that the British seamao, if unable to give technical
proot of the necessary period of service,' in re- fused leave to ship as an A.B. The wily Chinese has consequently been put at some thing like a premium by the very legislation which was intended to keep out non-English. speaking foreiguera, and to ensure the employ -ment of competent British seamen. Mr. Kear
ley undertakes on the part of the Board of Trade to put matters Rraight without formal inquiry, and we hope he may be able to do so,, His speech, we are glad to see, was a complete refutation of the most unpleasant allegations put forward by Mr. Wilmon. There are, as bas always been admitted, black sheep among shipowners, but this suggestion that they have. universally engaged Chinese crews lo order to defend themselves against merchant shipping legislation to which they assented in really too grotesque.
The debate revealed some curious differences. of opinion. Mr. Houston, while objecting to the employment of foreigners at all, scknow- ledged that it is impossible to do with. out them. But if he must have foreigners he would prefer Chinese, because. Germans or Scandinavians are more dangerous," doubiless for political reasons. On the other hand, Mr, Holl, whose firm employs Chinese abroad, makes a point of the fact that he never engages Chinese seamen in British ports. in experi ence, too, is that it costs.as much to feed a Chinese au en Englishman. "Mr. Holt's point that Chinese are not necessarily inefficient,
