METHODS OF SECURING. BUSINESS IN CHINA.

SUGGESTIONS BY THE ASSISTANT

WW BRITISH COMMERCIAL

ATTACHE.

The Assistant British Commercial At taché in China (Mr. C. A. W. Raise, C.I.E.) reports that a large number of inquiries reach his office from firms in the United Kingdon and other parts of the Empire, who desire to introduce their goods or tu appoint agents in China. Each inquiry presing points for individual treat ment, bug there are certain general prin ciples which apply to all, and these are dealt with in the following general memo- randan:-

In introducing new

makes of articles which are in general demand, it is cus tomary to send a travelling representative to tour in the Far East, calling on British and native houses and pushing his goods from suples. The area covered by such a representative depends to some extent upon the nature of his business, but it is not difficult for one man to work the whole of China, the Malay States, the Straits Set- tlements, and, if necessary, Java and Sumatra. Some travellers go further afield nad include Japan and India.

The first move is to secure a man who understands something of the trade in China, and who will push his goods with energy. If such a man should not be avail- able, one miny be found who has at least some idea of trade in India; conditions are not identical, the Chinese man having his own way, and methods and ideas of trade, but any experience in the East is helpful.

His Highness said that at this hour of meuaco to British civilisation and liberaj institutions it was fitting to speak, first of all, of Sir Pherozeshah's firm hold, amid all mutations, of the need for the maintenance of the British connection with India as an essential condition of the march to Indian nationhood and alti mate self-government within the Empire He was in full sympathy with, and by voico and example contributed to the sus pension of political controversy for which the Viceroy asked, in order that attention might be txnsentrated on the all-import ant issue of the prosecution of the war to victorious issue, Though a keen and strenuous fighter in Indian interests, he clearly realised that progress, could be best promoted by co-operation with the Government. His Highness warned the young Indians present that the ideal of nationbood and the development of free institutions could only bo retarded seriously by violent and intemperate ad vocacy, or, conversely, by a senseless and debusing demeanour of constant flattery of every official measure. The youth who ranged himself on the side of Extremism, under the influence of the ferment of Western ideas he had not assimilated, was doing the greatest disservice to his cour try and was contributing to put back the clock of progress,
