For the British, as well as for the United States Government, there is one very obvious moral and conclusion to be drawn from this unfortunate affair namely, that if-as has been clearly proved our commercial interests in China are inseparable from polities, it be hoves us to reneguite the fact and to accept its consequences honestly. It is neither honest nor wrise for the Government of Great Britain or the United States to obtain by diplomatic pressure or other means concessions and com- mercial advantages of any kind; to proclaim these as proofs of our political activity and to use them for the purposes of our own dre benevolent interest in the welfare of Chins; system of party government; and in time to disowu all responsibility for the pro gesulfilment of our own clligations under these concessions and for the results of local Chinese obstruction.
