of parts of Canton and the disarming of the Canton Merchant Volunteers, there was hardly a breathing space during which any extensive campaign against the pirates could be even con- sidered. As fast as one crisis was past and attention turned

to anti-piracy another crisis arose in Canton.

(3) In spite of all this interruption a great deal has been

done to deal with the piracy evil. General Li Fook Lum, the

appointed Chinese Official to deal with the pirates, has been

enormously handicapped by want of men and money and especially

gunboats or armed launches. An even greater handicap is the

tremendous jealousy between all the various provincial troops

and their commanders. All districts are parcelled out between

these mititary commanders who extort what is possible out of

their areas. They are much too busy doing this to have time

or inclination to bother about pirates who do not damage their

own pockets and in many cases no doubt contribute to their fortunes as the price of being left alone. Consequently if any other General shows signs of moving or taking action in their personal area they at once suspect him of designs on their posts and put every possible obstacle in his way, going as far as fight- ing him if they feel strong enough. There is no doubt whatever

that much of the piratical trouble is due to their soldiers who

pirate one day and resume soldiering the next. Even if they do not take an active part in piracy they do not take any active steps against it and no doubt are compensated accordingly.

However, during the last three months further action has been taken in several areas by General Li Fook Lum and a fair number of pirates and their leaders have been rounded up and, in many cases, shot. Like all Chinese operations they do not appeal to our ideas of efficiency but in the present state of the country they are as much as can be expected and personally I am surprised at the amount of energy and zeal shown. Provided the situation in Canton remains quiet these operations will continue and should have a great effect on the whole question,
