I think I may claim for it that it neither commits the Colony

to an unknown liability, nor to an immediate outlay of any

large amount, and that it does not interfere with the policy of

giving China time to reform, and of adapting our course of

prepared to sell to me on a given date, say six months hence,

and at what discount. Let us assume the very outside figures

of $10,000,000 worth as the total which the combined holders

would guarantee. If the quantity were less, the operation

would by that amount be cheaper. Let us assume that the rate of
