American relations through their co-operation with American

societies in many forms of missionary effort, the considerations which we have brought to the attention of His Majesty's Government are of much wider than purely missionary interest and this fact might be obscured if they were identified in the

or in the mind of his Govenor)

has been called to these aspects of the question by missionary bodies is due simply to the fact that they are in alose touch with Chinese opinion and with certain sections of public

opinion in America. We have reason to know, however, that the views expressed by Dr Balme are not limited to missionary

circles.
