malo so its present inchoată condition, relying“ on the disjointed efforts of a few individuals, whose influence, in oxisting circumstances, is essentially precarious, while their capacity for initiating a practical programme of national, reorganization is limited by inexperience.
In no particular does China feel her lack of practical statesmanship more than in re gard to the question of fidance. It is open. to the shrewd bead of any other Depart ment of State to acquaiat himself with an out- line of Western methods of conducting his special business and he will have no difficulty in drafting a scheme of eminently practical re- forms on those lines for submission to the Throne.

Gradually, however, the Chinese themselves are realizing that foreign capital is capable of judicious exploitationTM Withou, dar- ger to" sovereign rights.", Big railway loans are being placed abroad in spite of patriotic protests, and our Weching correspondent speaks of a possible accommodation from a foreigs bank for such an noproductive purpose as manoeuvres. But sooner or later foreign capital will be closed to China, unless ska is capable of producing within her own barders' commodities that will pay for this steady stream of imports.
As things are to-day China's malp-exports- are the products of an expenditure of human labour that leaves little margin for the accumu lation of capital. Very different would, her position be, if she could exploit on a large scale the vast mineral resources that lie unde- veloped beneath her soil. The ignorance of her people, the indifference of her officials and the hostility of bath to foreign enterprise pre- vant such exploitation. Hare then lies the root of all reform, the removal of this prejudice' against foreigner, for it affects the financial

reform is possible. If Great Britain at this period amends her Patent Laws with the deliberate intention of compelling: foreign firms to invest many millions in establish ing their factories on British soil, certainly China has no need to fear the employment of foreign capital under the restrictions that who is now able to impose. Until her prejudices are removed, there can be little hope for the milit ary expansion and naval soorganization without which, she has decided, her claim to recognition in the family of modern Powers will carry no weight. It would be well, then, if the advocates of reform could concentrate their futelligence | and their influence on this question of qusuca. The theory of the problem presents few difficulties, but to give effect to it must arouse the keenest opposition. Among the first things to be abolished must be the system of likin, which not only humpers existing trade throughout the Empire, but checks farther development. Above all the vast difference in smount between the taxes paid by the people and the official revenue of the country must be
