BANGKOK

531

German flag, 128,329 under the British, and 87,623 under the Norwegian. The sale of the Scottish Oriental Line to Germans accounts for these figures. As to labour, the Chinese coolies continue to be masters of the port, and the position in regard to them grows worse, for the supply is insufficient, and they can impose what terms they please. Bangkok itself is improving greatly, new roads having been opened and shops and houses being built. A great and much-needed reform is the substitution of some other source of revenue for the present gambling licences which are farmied to Chinese. The public recognition of gambling fosters improvidence and crime of every kind.
