NEED FOR INTERNAL REFORM.

At the meeting of the Inter- national Chamber of Commerce at Amsterdam inst month, Mr. Lamont, the head of the American delega- tion, welcomed the representatives of the commercial and business life of China who had come to the Con- gress. Mr. Lamont said that he had

taken a warm interest in China since

bib

visit to that country in 1990, and he was anxious to have the con. erote ideas at the Chinese.

The International Chamber was

an institution for co-operation, and he trusted that his Chinese friends would co-operate with it. China

a strong, powerful nation would arise. The problems in political science which China müst solve were challenge to her leaders. The expansion of China's foreign trade would depend largely upon the manner the new Government tried to solve problems in national and international policy. Mr. Lamont added that China's international credit was at a low ebb, and mea- sures should be taken by the Gor. "ernment for the re-establishment of her credit. Due regard must be had for meeting all foreign loans, and the bondholders of all nations must be treated in the same way.

Signor Pirelli, the President, in endorsing the sentiments expressed by Mr. Lamont, made an earnest plea that China should set her home in order and strive to retrieve her loat commercial prestige.

"It is extremely difficult for ua to understand Chinese conditions," Signor Pirell said. Frequently news reaches us of military move- ments which cause great concern to the well-wishers" of China. It is not trespassing into the domain of All broken, chafod and damaged politics for us to express our con Goods are to be left in the Godofidence that military feudalizm will where they will be examined an Med

collaborate sincere and effectively with the International Chamber of Commerce. So far China's inter- national trade has. been confined almost exclusively to the coasts. The day when the interior of that vast country, whose inhabitants form nearly one-fourth of mankind, is opened up to direct contact with other countries by improvements in transport and communications, the day when China will really be able to play the part that is hers in the world's business, will be a day full of promise for the progress of mankind.”
