At the present time China has to find some Tiș. 60,000,000 annually for payment of interest to foreign bondholders and the ·burden 'of so large a sum is increased by the fact that much of it is incurred on, non-productivo expenditure. In these, circumstances repeat- ed applications have been made to the diplomatic body at Peking with a view to an 'QUINQUINA 7- incresse, of the Imperial Maritima doties, as provided for in Article 8 of the Mackay Treaty; and it is therefore not surprising that the Bri tish Government should hesitate to relinquish the lever, thus, put into its hands for cbtaining same practical observance of several other Anicles of that Treaty, bisberto ignored by China, as a preliminary to all thought of tariff revision,
