disabilities under which the Chinese have laboured have been already removed and others are being removed. For example, they are now permitted to travel without passports and they are not confined to their

Own residential quarters..

Whit considerations prompted these changes are not set forth in the Legation statement, but we may assume they are intented primarily to remove the sense of grievance ander which the Chinese and other races have been protesting. The allegations now being reiterated in the Chince Press are the tchoes of events which took place in October, 1915, when the natives of a certain village, incensed by the usurious practices of the Chinese, suddenly gave vent to their feelings and descended upon the Chiness quarter, with the result that Lorts of the Binsy houses occupied by Chinese were destroyed by fire and seven Chinese lost their lives. According to the Dutch Legation at Peking, that has been the only incident in respect of which complaint might be made, yet charges are being reiterated which suggest that the Chinese are constantly suffering under 'a repressive rule which affords them no security of life or property.

Now the Chinese are under no obligation to remain in the Ditch Indies under what they regard asuppressive rule, and that these grievances are grossly exaggerated would seem to be proved by the remarkable contract at Macao on Wednesday.
