The measure has been complied with without hitch or complaints and is welcomed by the masters of ships.

It would be useless to employ foreigners not used to dealing with Chinese, and the number of experienced men available is very small. It is doubtful, remarks the Canton Cham-) ber, whether the Ceasular Service, the Hongkong Government on the Chinese Customs could spare many, while the sacrifice involved on the part of merchant Macfarlane Arms would be very cousiderable, even Chapman were they able to release any appreciable Guy number of men. As far as Canton is con- Harvey corned, the Canton Chamber has come to Barr the conclusion that an international Farr garrison would be undesirable. It would W. Russell be very difficult to provide suitable accom- Edwards modation, and the proximity of the Hong kong forces must not be overlooked.

an early date. The delay at this port

would be infinitesimal as compared with s that in other ports should Shanghai he come plague infected through the entry of diseased rats. That plague-infected rats do enter the port was clearly shown at the end of 1921, when two were found near the South Manchuria Railway Wharf. Shipping companies then submitted to la three-monthly fumigation of all veeels from the south, where infection was most likely to come from, although no ports were actually declared against. In this particular instance, what might have proved the nuclens of a bad epidemic was nipped in the bud by the vigilance of the municipal health authorities, with the ready co-operation of the shipping com munty. It is only by the sympathetic ex operation of all concerned in guarding the health of a large poit like Shanghai, ng well as its business interests, that the heath of the port can maintain its pre- sent standard.

Mr. E. 8. Glines, chairman of the Council,, expressed the opinion that the Chinese Government had no acceptable security to offer for a new loan at this time. He said that participation by the United States Government in the matter should be avoided

Of the total amount owed abroad by the Chinese Government, it was said, 40 per cent.c represented overdue obligations to Japanese business concerns and about 5 per cent, debta- owed to American interests.
