DISCRIMINATION NEARLY ELIMINATED

on the part of British merchants in general, which, he says, hos hitherto loft the development of the valuable trade of IN Hunan to be done almost entirely by thei

German competitors. The methods adopt- ed by Germany, he adds, cannot be reckoned as sound in all respects, and they are demoralising to the Chinese. But these methods are based to a great extent on economic factors and conditions which do. not apply on the whole, to British trade and manufacturers, even of a paralizi under. With regard to opportunities for British trude, Consul Bavage remarks:---

The British Consul at Deiren (Mr. B. G. Parlett Jin a recent report say, that in 1913 o heavy blow at the future prosperity of Dairen was threatened in the prob able extension of a system of reduced freights for the benefit of good passing beyond the Autung-Mukden-Chengchua section of the South Manchuris Railway Company's line. As a result of negotia. ticas, however, the three ports were placed on basis of cquality as regards freight rates. The apcerfic through rate did not at first apply to any goods but those com- ing from Japan, and in that respect were in the nature of a discriminatory tariff against like articles of foreign origin; but in October, 1914, this final barrier to osten sible equality of opportunity was removed, and the rates were made applicable also to goods coming from parts on the following lines:-Formosa-Dairen line of the Osaka Shosen Kaisha; Tientsin, Bombay, Ameri- can, Australian, and European lines of the Nippon Tusen Kaisha; and the Shanghai Dairen line of the South Manchuria Bail way Company,

It is further understood that this prin- ciple is to be extended, and that foreign- steamship companies will be slowed to benefit in the same manner a Japanese companies do, provided that they enter into special arrangements with the South Manchuria Ballway Company, but the form these arrangements may take is not yet known, the key

to

The real fact of the matter is, there is plenty of room for more British firms than now exist in China. New capital and new blood are wanted to reinvenute our trade The newcomers, if any will no doubt have to build up their trade connections; but this is an easier task in China than in any other country. New firms will have to engage men of local experience, and train others; but they will not, like the older arms, have to break through the opposi- tion of their old-established connection" among the Chinese and institute new and unpopular methods, while they will have less or nothing, to lose and much to gain."
