The recent opening of Wu-chau-foo us a Treaty port has called attention to the pos- sibilities for the extension of trade-be- tween Hongkong and the interior waters of Kwang-si generally, Steamer facilities no doubt urs a great boon to travollers, who can be landed from Hongkong in a short space of time at the great centre of Kwang- si traffic; but this new forward movemont may fail, if the proper outlets for trade still rumin a sealed back to the Foreigner. Kwang-e has resources capable of a de- velopment which would induence and benefit Hongkong enormously, but the For- eign merchant is barred by a prohibition in his passport, which, although totally against the spirit, if not the provisions, of the Treaty of Tantsin, prevents him from travelling or trading over a great portion of South China.
