Bat Mr. Frau's com parisons are not all in favour of Japan. The isputation of Chinese merchants for good faith and holding to their contract is well known, Mr. Brenan, ko many other writers, is unable to give the same character to the Japanese. "It seeme a hopeless task," he says, in the section on British tala, "to keep the ordinary Japanese to the terms of renatract.

The administralien also suffered from the duplicity of the Chinese underlings who had to be employed at first as intermediaries. The confesion ut present prevailing in the island is attributed by Mr. Brean to want of understanding batween the mules and raled, due to Japanere able to speak the languago. The Chinese on the island have, even no to the present, much merising as to the intentions of the Japanese Lewards them. intention of interfering with their customs and usages, but this has never beer clearly stated in such a way as to come home to them, and the consequences tu cistrust and suspicior, ure vety sexions.
