PROTEST AGAINST OFFICIAL CORRUPTION.:

RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF BOARD OF CENSORS RECOMMENDED.

The following is a translation of a memorial recently sent by General Fing Tu Esiang to President Tsao-

This country baa long been in a state of disorder, which must be attributed to the relaxation of official discipline. But, bow is official discipline to be again enforced? This can only be done by making changes in the procedure for re wards and punishment and the appoint- sent and dismissal of officials. An should be established to carry out organ. these functions. The history of China sbows that such an organ was lang main- tained as part of the administrative - tam, a channel through which the voice. of the people might be carried to the Government. In different dynasties" it held different names.

BAD ADMINISTRATION:

During the past few years bad adminis tration has been rife throughout, this country, due to defects I have already pointed out. Titles and honours have been sanctioned, while nowhere have. punishmente been carried out. This is surprising, but true. An old proverb says: With punishment will be engen dered a sense of grace and with the be stowal of honour greater ambition will

There is no punishment in allowingrat corrupt official to resign. That merely. serves as an incentive to other unworthy

men.

It is true that the fall of a nation is brought about by official degeneration. If this be not checked nothing can prevent it.

Now, at this incipient stage of your presidency, is the time to check these evils. You are unfortunate in having Assumed office at such a critical period in the history of China, but the way to reform of the official system is not closed. VOX POPULL-

, therefore, recommend for your con sideration that as a preliminary step towards cfficial reform discipline should be taken into account. For this purpose I consider it imperative that a Board of Censors or call it what you will-should be established. It should be composed of men of upright character who would aid the administration by opening a channel of communiëntion between the Government and the people, giving the tatter an opportunity: freely to express Meir opinions, knowing that such would receive the consideration they deserved, I believe that this would go a long way towards sweping away officia corrup tion

COLONIAL GOVERNMENT "IN A STATE OF RAPID

“EVOLUTION A

In la Bevue conamique Internationale (Brussels), an expose of Midenburg, concerning the Dutch East Indies, but mainly Java, asks: To what extent mustatives be placed on an equality: with Europeans, and what is to be the line of demarcation Originally manual work was performed by uneducated natives, lesser clerical work by educated natives, or Eurasians, and administrative work by Europeans, the salaries being much higher for the Just cines. When tatives and Europeans became endi dates for similar posts the latter world, by virtue of race only, recivo a much higher salary: This practico was felt to be unjust, and was specially bad since the Dutch legally consider Eurasison as Karopeans, and it was therefore abolish ed. As a consequence, the high salaries offered to Europeans to attract them to life in the tropics Beesme available for natives and Eurasians who had not the Raue Expenses to ment. Disbontent then arose in the lower branches of the ser vice, so that a general rism in salaries. was allowey, which still weighs heavily on the Budget, M. Idenburg describes Stats supported schools, where the ques tion the language of instruction Melay or Dutch was again a dificulty. All Columial Government is in a state of rapid evolution, the native races every where asking for and receiving, greater share of responsibility. The writer urges that the basis of Western civilisation, trus Christian virties, should be planted in the East
