Is there any great danger of such an eventuality in these days? The present tendency is against aggression by one nation against another. It is fully recognized that as gression by any one lower against any other does not concern, those two Powere only but is a matter of world-wide con- cern. Obviously any assistance given to Chinn must not be of an aggressive and self-seeking nature, but must be friendly in its elements and unselfish in its aims. The Powers concerned could surely take together such precautionary measures that no one of them would be able to take advantage of China's needs to fur. ther selfish or improper ends. **

We fully recognize that international jealousies still exist, and that there are many difficulties in the way of foreign help to China to enable her to re- organize on modern lines her Govern ment and public services, including the provision of codes of laws suitable to modern requirements, and the reorgani zation of the judicial system; but there are always dificulties in the way of every attempt at reform and improvement, and I venture to think that none of these difficulties equals in gravity the danger of a continuance of the present state of chacs in China.

In dwelling on the constructive side of the work of the Conference I-do-not, of course, in soy way imply that its purely deliberative work has been, ar is likely to Prove, other than important. On the con tacy, we have passed resolutions which, while merely expressing our opinions, SHANGHAI may well have most important results. We have, for example, registered ones again our opinion as to the only condi tions on which a settlement of the Shan-MANILA business standpoint as satisfactory. That HAIPHONG pung question can be regarded from a opinion has been published and will, I have no doubt, be transmitted by the news BORNEO agencies to the centres directly influencing the Washington Conference. I may also state that a resolution has been passed indicating what British merchants in China think in regard to the present position of China's Guances and in re. gard to such important questions as that BANGKOK of extra-territoriality.

If China the growth of these unhealthy produce would see it to employ foreign experts they might be part and parcel of her own public services. They might be con- sidered as experts leading aid rather than foreign officials exercising control.

I say without any hesitation that the resolutions relating to the present state. of China spring from feelings of the greatest friendship towards the Chinese people. We recognize that the Chiness people as a whole ardently desire good government, good administration and clean justice. If some of those exercising power in China to-day hate contrary desires, we are convinced that they do not truly represent the Chinese people, and we think that the time will come seek, power in China will realize that the underlying principle of men who enter public ser- vices in civilized communities is not a desire for the emoluments of office, but a desire to render service to the State
