only half of the lending nationality and half Japanese.
There was no decision to use British subjects, and Japanese were indicated because they build cheaply and ask a comparatively lower rate of pay. In this way their employment would set a rate for the lending nation and there was the further purpose behind of preventing the danger of engrossing a monopoly.
I have now told the English Consul-General that the Hankow-Canton line will be altogether financed by China herself without another foreign loan and he has raised no objection.
Supposing that there had been any indirect promise of concessions would their minister have stood this in silence instead of making a fuss with the Wai Wu Pu?
This shows the extreme strictness of the terms of this despatch and the explicitness of its tenor. The declaration "in case it is necessary to borrow abroad" in addition to the amount China may herself provide" left them no hope in case China did her own financing of the construction. Moreover as the borrowing of English funds was only to carry the regular interest and the commission on buying materials and there were no general privileges to look for, no recrimination resulted.
The illogical censor tries to ground on this a serious imputation of evil!
The censor also accuses the memorialist of trying to engross the highest powers, of stripping Hunan and Hupei of their fatness to supply his useless and reckless extravagance. He does not know that the advantage of railways does not precede their completion for traffic.
Thus the Ching-Han and Tientsin-Shanhaikuan completed...
