Resignation of Chinese Finance
Minister
Harung has endeavoured to conciliato the opposition by soeking a modification of the terms of the proposed contract. The Bankers, however, are unre lenting and show no readiness to grant a further advance of ten millions sterling, Tho roign Ministors have explained to the Premier that the conditions under which the International of bankers are will; group ing to make a loan are imposed beonuse it is necessary to satisfy European bondholders in order to maintain the credit of China in Europe, and that there is no desire on the part of the Inter- national group or of the Govern ment interested to inflict hurd ar annecessary stipulations or totake advantage of the present position
in China and tliersby to secure financial control of the country but that it is entirely a matter of – meeting the requirements of the European money-markets, where money is tightor than it used to be, while the situation in China lends itself to public distrust.

Business Hours,
The dog days are upon us withi a vengeance and it is a raliof to jaded feelings to note that the "North China Daily News" has resuscitated some time-worn ar- guments in favour of re-ndjust ing business hours so that the heat of the day may be escapod. The plan of early morning duty and a mid-day ciesta works excellently in Manila, where business com- mences at 7 a.m. and continues till about mid-day. Then there is a break of from two to three hours for rest, business be ng 18- sumed with fresh energy about 4, p.m. In Indo-Chinn the day is similarly divided and no con- sideration would move the in- habitanta to a breach of the un- written law. The Sjamese are also strong adherents of the mid-day siento, thaugh the European in that worst of all: olimatos struggles bravely through the day's work pretty much as we do Lore. In the Dutch East In- dies, where the settlers have wisely copied some of the native flags of comforty a rest during the beat of the day is considered
