Clive's despatch Es, 136 of
the 14th ulting animadverting upon ewtain misleading state- monta issued by the Peking International Antisopim Association, I have the benow to tanssit herewith a copy of a further commasientien to the press issued in the Assosiation's
containing a demolation of the Goverment of Twitish Herth
This statment follows upon a similer attack upon the deverment of the straite detiäamonts, and is typical of
the attitude towards the British Colonies adapted by the
persona vise control the Association.
It is, in my opinion, most unfortunate that the
Association should devote itself to a overpaign against the
Mitish Colonias based entirely on aseend-hand data, and
conducted by parsome with no sufficient knowledge of the astma...
sonditions in tha Colomies themselves. Their indictments of
the Colonial Govermenta romala umzuvered as there da naturally
no one here with the necessary knowledge to contest the statem
ments and deduatione ventsined therein, and the impression is
inevitably eroated that the misiah lupire Le making little
or ne various offers to suppress the notestie evil. Doviden
the disgredit » which one is bound to believe to be largely
undeserved » Skata threw upon the fritish Colonies in Chinose *y**, a useful handle is supplied to the Chinese thomasīveA for countering œitisim levelled against the appalling state
of affairs in their em seurtry,
