BRITISH TRADE WITH CHINA. THE ANGLO-CHINESE CHARTER.

The London correspondent of the Manchester Quardian states that several big firms including a very important Manchester, concern-have subscribed a large part of the sun required to start, the new business organisation to develop industries in China. The committee ap pointed at the recent meeting is working, out a definite scheme, which will be sub- mitted to a second, meeting shortly. At the Arst meeting there seems to have been some misconception about what is -proposed. It was thought that it was k question of floating a syndicate to work new Chinese concession. The object is rather to create a sort of commercial general staff which would have the task of organising new industries in China, to be worked jointly on co-operative lines by British and Chinese capital, but under, British control The Chinese authorities, have printed a charter which, for the first time, allows British commercial enterprise to work outside the limits of the Treaty Ports, and the case for the scheme is that I the opportunity is not grasped by British business it will quickly fall into the hands of foreign competitors.
