This is interesting. Put By CPL

25 Oct

It is said that the Chinese intend to get back everything

and the buying of all Properties with the object of ousting

"Foreign devils"

a

Policy which they

are said to be

also pursuing at the Treaty ports - If there were Trouble hereafter with China, ending in war, the presence of this very large Chinese

population, will have done much to affect

the Military position.

7. 26.10

Yes. In future the risk must be prepared for & treated with something like Chinese strictness, the non-Chinese population becoming known to a greater degree under English rules.
