STORY OF AN EYE-WITNESS.

THE NEED OF PROPAGANDA.

[BY ANOTHER CANTON CORRESPONDENT:]

I was particularly interested in reading the short article by your Canton corre- spondent in which he referred to the dis- torted report of a Canton newspaper of the drowning of a ricksha puller in the Shameen creck.

it would appear almost impossible for them to do so-the tenor of Mr. EvoLNE CEE's letter leads to the presumption that the Canton Government will proceed, to establish its own Customs organisation and collect the taxes on its own account.

In such a case it will be for the Powers to agree upon action that may be con sidered necessary. In nay event Great Britain escapes from the irksome and entirely uncongenial role of “the goat." For too long a period she has borne the whole of the burden' of Canton's animosity and it is high time the respon. sibilities and, the penalties were shared. The breakdown of Mr. EUGENE CHEN'S latest plan-if it is doomed to meet with not be laid at Great
