to see Upper Burmah annexed and 200- cupied by England, and the reasons for this belief are not far to seek An English occupation of Theebaw's dis tarbed kingdom would involve a pro- tectorate over the Shan States lying between Burmal and Tonquin, and by this step China would ensure the zain tenance of order où her south-western frontier. But Chian would gladly hat England as a neighbour for another reason. Any further advance of the part of France to the westward: would thus be effectually barred, as the high land country of Yunnan, which come
and the whole of Burmah, could never be allowed to pass into the hands- of any rival power. Perhaps, also, a similar feeling of safety and protection might be felt by the friendly little State of Siam, were England to take full charge of Burmah.
We have mentioned that Lord Duf ferin's recommendations on the general. situation ere being eagerly looked for in Rangoon, in India, and at Home. There is no doubt that the entire question of our relations with Indo-China is at present of the gravest importance. The new Vion roy of fadia will, we understand, make. it one of his first duties to look into the whole matter; and, whether or not the scheme which he propounds will involve annexation or a protectorate, it is clear that the surrounding States cannot be left unconsidered. We have noted the probable tose and temper of China in face of any forward movement by Eng Ingd, and hinted that Siam would not be sorry to see England taking a firmer hold of the reins of government in North ern Burmal. It is clear that one ine portant step in the forward movement must be that England shall guarantee the integrity of Siam. Whatever denials may be given as to the receipt by Sim of threatening letters from the French authorities, there can be little doubt that France has been taking a most 736 lively interest of late in the welfare (or otherwise) of that little kingdom.
