consciousness sufficiently strong to sup |port a form of government giving expres- sion to that unity of feeling. As China has not enjoyed such a system, and as there has not been time for preparation | the process of development and of giving practical shape to the ideal must be of necessity vary slow,

The breaking up of Chias into regional governments would be a natural step in the process of evolution towards national government Only in the smaller arcas could this type of government be estab lished at the moment. The country is too vast to achieve it on the grand scale from the beginnings is a task almost beyond human capacity, for a new technique has to be devised for ruling four hundred million people in a manner that meets for the first time with the approval of that four hundred million. And in China

there are very few who have the experi ence of administering the affairs of forty people on true democratic lines.

Even if the country were uniñed by military conquest, the task would be only half begun for generals do not and can not deal successfully with political, social and economic questions. These must be handed over to civil administration if the

revolution is to mean what it was intend- ed to mean, a change in the spirit and form of government. The probability is, however, that no general will prove poworful enough to bring about unifica tion by force of arms and that this method of procedure, if insisted upon; will retard progress indefinitely. While militarists wield "the power, in various areas, even though those areas may be under the nominal control of a civil ad ninistration, there will always be jealousy and frequent attempts to widen the sphere of individual influence. Regional government, based on the power of the people, is the quickest road to travel and Canton would do well to set the example

If a steamer be leaving on a voyage for Hongkong from a Chinese port (or vice versa) of any duration. Chinese passenger(s) requirements for the voyage should be duly searched, and the rest of his/her belongings, under no conditions accessible during the voyage.

Like the British, the Portuguese evi- dently are poor advertisers of them-

A week ago Chinese shipping companies were advising merchants that they could not take cargo of any description because there was no one to handle it in Canton, The Tung On returned yesterday with nearly two hundred tors of general cargo and between 700 and 800 passengers. The Frong Tung also arrived with about 100 tons. These are not large quantities, but is is a distinct advance on the position of last Wednesday.

Hindrances to Trade Estival, Our Chinese correspondent writes: Trade is suffering considerably from the very heavy transit taxes now levied on passengers and freight junks plying be- tweer. Canton and inland towns. A large number of ship owners are still refusing to handle cargo on account of these im ports. The junks Wuchow and Tung On used to par 24 trip; now they have to pay $170. The lung Kwei, Bo Lun and others were charged 880 by the former collectors and now $990 is de- manded. These high rates, together with the rest of piracy, to avoid which the junks have to pay heavy sung in black- mail periodically, are making shipping business exceedingly dificult in Canton waters.
