WHAT THEY THINK.
China Maik,
1
THE COMPULSORY INSUR- ANCE SCHEME. We should have, thought that the contributions would be pro- portionato to the wage-oarning capacities of the worker, for it is obviously unfair to expect a man earning 168, a weak to yield, up the same sum as another who rq- coivos 254, or 20s. Doubtloss these and other points are covered! -by-the-provisions-of-the-sehomo," but it in somewhat girango ilust Router makos no roforonco to a sliding scale of contribution in the messages to hand. At first those who love beon aeenstoned to handle and spend the whole of their wages without thought for the future will doubtless fool the embarrassment of the now order: of things, but in time they will, become thoroughly necustomed to the now conditions, und as tho benefits of the aid which the Stato will be able to provide are felt, what for a time will be rather an irksome duty should be transforin- od into a groatly-prized privilege. Though the proposals of Mr. Lloydd Goorgo are very far-reaching in charactor, we have hopes of their ultimate succoss, If they do nothing more than to imbun the mass of the peoplo with a' feeling of security and tranquillity whichi a contemplation of the future now too often utterly precludes, they will surely perform a definito part in building up the stability of the nation.

In this lio Chinose Government is but following the practice which obtains in Japan and cortain. European countrios, and wo can 081] woll believe that the idos will be taken up in China with onthusiasm. Sir Robert Hart apropos
racontly elisorved, of the suggestions for he international arbitration of dis putes, that while the ethical status of China would possibly induco hor to welcome the general' idea of arbitration, avon so, the stress of international competition and rivalry s been touching the lesson that political morality is nothing without the good back- ing of national force, and he con- oludes that the China of the futuro will be better prepared to support love of peace by rondiness for War". For our part wo think it may be gravely doubted whether
we shall see much evidence of a lova of peace when China is ready for war. It is in the highest do- greo likely that the development of a military spirit, among the rising generation in China will lead to war on the slightest protext and that long before: China has attained to that state of military efficiency which will savo hor from humiliation.

rospect that to threaten the lives of compatriots who may oppose their designs is not uncommon. Trades unionism exists in most coun⭑ trics and is welcomed an medium for the amicablo sottle- ment of differences between may- ter and man and for mutual protection of interests. guild idea in China, however, is trado unionist in the superlativo dogres-not for mutual protee tion, but solely for the benefit of one of the parties without regard to justice or the common rights of the other. Suolz a state of affairs ought not to be tolerated in Bri tish Hongkong.
