China has gone through deep waters of recent years, the change

from Empire to Republic Inflicting deep injuries upon the system of Government and upon law and not yet been arder which have wholly repaired. The rising waters of the Yangtse and the rising price of silver have wrought havoc with trade and agriculture and it is indeed a credit to the country that despite all these trials and tribulations the country should have still remained substantially intact. The industry of the people soon puts to right the disastrous effects of the flood but the damage

done by the rise in silver needs a

definitely longer period to repair The finances of China constitute a problem which might even puzzle such a head as Sir Frederick Leith-Ross has on his shoulders, Among other things he will no doubt have to advise whether a

loan would be a safe and whole- some specific. This mission is economic and wisely seeks for knowledge-and friendship-as the true foundations of polley though the economic action may have political results. There have been some very welcome signs that the flerce estrangement between Japan

London, October 14.

The machinery of the League of Nations for preparation of collective measures against Italy is now in full operation at Geneva. It is working through committees and sub-committees. All assenting members of the League Assembly `are members of the main Co-ordinating Committee which will meet in plen- ary session this afternoon and will have before it for definitive action a resolution dealing with the arms embarro.

The Committee through which recommendations reach the Co-ordinating Committee now "comprises representatives of eighteen States and is called the Committee of Eighteen. It was in session on Saturday evening for generál discussion of economic measures, and certain problems which may arise in connection with their adoption were considered.

The question as to how far the unfavourable effects of the League members of action taken in connection with measures of economic pressure could be compensated by rearrangement of markets among such members or possibly by financial assistance was referred to a special sub-committee for examination.
