POSITION OF BUSINESS MEN. As he understood it, he was talking to business men, and if they would allew him a few minutes he wanted to express to them what he thought should be the position of business men in the East- particularly in China. In the early days (if his history was correct) it was rather dilicult for them to show any very co- operative spirit in China. They were rather zareeba "-cd in a small area of and and their Chinese friends did not show very great co-operative spirit to wards them; but since those days they had established themselves still further and built up great businesses; and means of communication bad got so easy that he was afraid many who came to the East My great desire were inclined to say

in life is to make as much money as I en and get home and spend it as quickly as I can and take no great interest in the social and domestic affairs of the pople along whom they were living. That might have been pariectly all right in ancient days but the East had ad- vanced in an amazing way daring the last Tew years and the modern civilisation of the East had advanced in a similar manner. The educated Eastern gentle- man was inclined to say "When you come here you make these countries your tem porary homes, you are our guests for the time you are here. You make your money. in and out of our country. Do' please help us and cooperate with us when you an and encourage the best interests of cur country in every way.”
