It is true that on the total figures there is a do- ficit on the year's working, but taking all things into considora- tion we may count ourselves for- tunate that the difference is not inoro pronounced than it is.

borrow foreign capital uttered from time-to-timia by mon who'; are rogarded as authorities on the country's financial capacity, the indebtedness of China to foreign fininciers continues to grow. An interesting article on the subject recently appeared in the Japanese.
pon of Mr. Takokoshi, a member of the Dict. The articlo hnd spociul roforence to the interna- tional loan of 450,000,000 gold.
that China's indebtedness already amounted to 1,300,000,000 tools, and Mr. Takokoshi's contention is that a country whoso (present) productive onpacity is only one-third that of Japan, and whoso foreign trudo is also much less than that of. Japan, cannot continuo to increase her indebtedness without grave dan gor, bacause. taxes cannot bo incronsed for the purpose of redeeming these loans without. risk of civil disturbance, and con sequently "moral and material bankruptcy" must result. This article has received a good deal of attention from the Poking Pross, and it is interesting to observe the growing sentimentin favour of the employment of foreign capital in China for specific productive undertakings, and for such pur- poses only. The ovila and the dangers of reckless borrowing are,. well understood..

South China Morning Post.
JAPAN, MEXICO, AND THE" UNITED STATES The American mail brings many interesting references to the throo cornored situation which Bo suddenly developed in Mexico and called forth such positive declarations from President Talí in one direction and from the Mikado in another. The sudden movement of American troops 10 the Mexican border puz- aled a good many people. That President Taft should sudden-i ly be seized by an ambition to launch the Union on a policy of aggression was inconceivable. There must have been, it was claimed, some strong motive be lind a proceeding which, on the fuce of it, looked provocative. Why should a quarter of tho American army have been aud- denly posted along the Mexican frontier? It was no part of the duty of the United States to assist President Diaz to suppress his own rebels or even to keep that autocrat's seat from being over turned.
