It is, in the first instance, the work of Sir James Mackay, who has clearly seen from the beginning how indie- pensable some such plaer is for the growth of foreign trade with the Chinese Empire, and whose courage and energy have overcome the dead weight of opposition to inve its adoption proseeding from many quartets, without much outside sapport. Bot the Chinese Guramissioners and the Chinese Viceroys are hardly less entitled to comaten dation than Sir James and his pasistants, Mr Budgeon and Bir Cockbar. If the British Ceumissioners hava eibibited firmness, pa- tience, and tact in pressing the actone upon them, in explaining to them its merits, and an answering their objections, they have shown in a practical sumpa, for alroost the tiest time in the long and dreary history of Chinese diplomacy, winds open to argument

The colonial Premiers were ani mated in an equal degree with ourselves in a patriotic desire to strengthen the links of the Empire. There were only two avenues by which that goal could be reached- through Imperial defence or though Impe- rial trade. He was aware that we cluld not attain that ideal forthwith at a single step. He was inclined to think that we in Great Britain were mom advanced in these respects than even opinion in the colonies, but it would be unwise to fores the pace and ask the colonies to do more than their goodwill saguested.
