Except we are prepared to accept the position that France is now endeavouring to arrogate to herself in the two Kwangs, an endeavour that will be, if successful, fraught with serious consequence to British Trade in these regions, I think it undesirable that a British Map should be given to the world marked with the acceptance of the pretensions of France.
Indeed, the fallacy France is endeavouring to establish regarding the British Sphere as applied to the "Yangtse Valley" might be expunged at the same time with advantage, as there are but two foreign Spheres of Influence in practical existence, those of Germany in Shantung and Russia in Manchuria.
