There is a certain originality in the scheme for which the Chinese Chamber of Commerce has now made itself responsible; but the ques tion of its practicability is decidedly open. It uffers, in the first place, from an excess of optimism. The watement that money can be obtained from the foreigners bearing interest at four or five per ceol. and that native Banks otsily secara eight, may be plausible enough; but no provision is made in this scheme for expenses. Time and money would bath be needed to develop the enterpriée, and history does not teach us that Chineso banking methods are Invariably remungrative. There would remain, then, the security in the foreigners of the Bank's capital, for which the Chinese Government is to be held responsible. Viewed in this light
the plan appears as practically nothing more than an elaborated way of asking the Chinese Government to guarantee payment of all the debts, without allowing it the opportunity to ascertain on what grounds such large credit was given. - Where: the debtors <aro wealthy man.
