China, in a peaceful direction may have seriously suffered by the late experiences. And, although Chinn has invariably striven with commendable zaal to distinguish between French and non-combatants, it is hardly to be ex pected that her altitude towards Western," juwers will be even ne conciliatory as it has hitherto been. It is to be Loped,. however, that these wise foreign coun- sellers through whose interposition the presont unhappy state of things has beca brought to an end will impress upon the High Authorities at Peking the desirability of maintaining good Claims against the Jeps must be made treaty relations with Western States."

on or before this date...

In taking credit to herealf for getting so TuranAy, April 14

well ont of this Franco-Chinese difficulty, Chian must bear in mind that she has never during the entire course of hosti- lities fairly meanred her strength with that of France. The power of Francè has not been exerted in any appreciable degree, partly because the war was not a popular war, and partly because it was not represented to the French nation ees war at all. The Tonquin frontier is all that Eratice would ever seriously fight for. But bad the full power and the vast resources of France been directed against China, there can be no doubt Lat the result would have been most disastrous for China. We do not think chut China beg great reason to be triumphant over the declaration of peace, nor do we believe that thought. ful Chinese statesmen will be inclineti to adopt that tone towards France, or towards any of the Treaty Powers. Of late China has made a study of the relative positions of European nations towards each other; and that know- ledge, while it is invaluable in many respects, muy probably enable her to apprise the value of peaceful relations with powers whose mission is peace and whose nite is commercial relations upea that fair basis.

Notwithstanding the few successes on the part of China, the general lesson to be drawn from the experience of the last year or two is that China is not a military power. The scrupulous observ- 706 ance of treaties is a far more successful -charse of action for any commercial na- tion to adopt than that of an appeal to ars. This advice, it may be said, ja also applicable to the French; but it is a consideration which ongkt to be steadily kept before the High Authorities of Peking, that the strict observance of international ob- ligations is a much more effectual means of prosperity thai an uppeal to arms, The enormous expenditure for warlike stores which has drained the Chinese treasury has been rendered almost use- less by the neglect, on the part of those
