We are most fortunate in being Chinese for China is a big country, bigger than all the countries in Europe combined. The area of France is about equal to that of the province of Szechuen. The province of Kwangtung, with all its vast territory, its increasing, po pulation and its thriving business Enterprises, is gradually becoming a model province of China. The re- cent tendency of Kwangtung in regard to international relations bas been most encouraging. The Eong Kong Government has saluted the Nationalist ng with twenty-one guns. This should be a stepping stone to Great Britain's recognition of the Nationalist Clovernment. The British Government has shown its friendly [6160

attitude towards the Kwangtung Government by return ing to us the old British Consulate premises in Canton which amounts to 3,000 square ching. Similar un- conditional rendition of the old Canton French Consulate will prob, ably not be far distant. All these matters are of relatively small im. port. But I have every reason to believe that the Powers will be equally generous in assenting to our bigger and more important pro gramme of international readjust

Kwangtung being in the forefront respecting China's foreign relations, I recognize that whatever the Province dose in way of its foreign relations will be of prime importance, as it has à bearing on the whole nation.

The charge against him was that he had in his possession 140 taels of illicit opium. Mr. J. M. Remedios appeared for the defence and entered a plea of guilty.
