THE CHINA CRITIC

But "law and order" in Western phraseology is a synonym for trade protection. Time was when China was an Eldorado, the enormous legendary market which was to solve all economic crises and enrich every nation capable of securing for itself a place therein. "Law and .order" came to be spoken of then-although disturbance was blessedly absent from the country. The term bas descended through the years and in some quarters is now used to oppose the abolition of extraterritoriality. There is no hope of more intimate and accurate estima- tion of the country's capabilities passively replacing this calculatedly erroneous conception because trade always seeks to protection under the cloak of arms. This has
occurred in Haiti and Liberia. Active illustration of China's ability to conduct her own affairs in an orderly manner is the best answer returnable in the circum- stances, but can this answer be given while every rob- bery and minor misdemeanour is magnified and garbled in their own interests by commercial agencies?
Another favourite argument of those opposed to Chinese autonomy is that as China's civilisation is based upon the precepts of Confucius, who lived half a century before Christ, her present condition is similar to her con- dition at that time. People who are according to our standards, 3,500 years behind the times (they contend) cannot obviously be entrusted with the task of adminis- tering the affairs of a vast country in an up-to-date manner. This is a subtle argument because those who make it realise that, apart from the unacceptable anti- quity involved in their contention, Confucius is com- monly thought to have believed in and taught the in- ability of progress, preferring to create a stable society without working consistently for further success.
The truth is that Confucius did not think the human race naturally progressive. He believed in rulers being wise and ambitious in the interests of their subjects. And as regards the cavil that China is still where Con- fucius left it, we have only to look at the almost in- calculably great and far-reaching consequences which have followed as the result of his teaching. His life was one of the greatest and most progressive ever lived by man, Three others only are comparable with it in world history: Guatama's sojourn among men the career of the Arab Prophet, and the "Sinless Years" which, we are told, closed on Golgoth.

There are altogether 1781 Chinese and foreign factories in this city, but only 1,500 filled in the schedules of the Bureau. The following table shows the capital figures of these 1,500 factories classified according to the nature of the industry as well as to the type of organization. This is the first comprehensive statistica ever collected and compiled on this subject.
