AN OLD-FASHIONED PREJUDICE IN FAVOUR OF PRIVATE ENTERPRISE.

Of course, when you really come to propose in

put upon the Estimates the cost of such a rall. Way you will be asked to show that the benefit realiteg is at all correspondent to the enormous risk and expense, and that is why I confess to an old-fashioned preference for the system of canstracting railways, especially in foreign lands, by private enterprise, because the undertakers will select parts of the world where they are likely to obtain adequate remunerating for their culley, and where the call for expenditure will

be of a less formidable kind. There are, we are

told, plenty of districts Colas where railways cap be contacted at no extavagent cost, suð` where they will produce a return. I hope so, Inderd. Batas to this great undertaking. of which more recent Information has increased

rather than d'iminished the arduous character,

I confess that the guidance of private enterprise and privare initiative spemr to me more acces- sury than even In the other parts of China. Now, I would only ask you to consider that in Chies things more slowly. No doubt things

WHAT BRITISH TRADE NEEDS.

But I have an my side an exhortation to address is you. It is not to imagine that be. cause other nations are locressing their trade, therefore, you own position is so dangerous and difficult as some people seem to imagine it to te. I believe British trade and commerce is spite of adverse tariffs is still increasing. All

seeds is a renewal and increase of those efforts which our fathers made, and a display in tallway concessions would be obtained commenwhich British commerce has been built up, and still higher degree of the splendid qualities on surate with our Chink trade,

*

the last thing we must allow to galo ground over us Is the idea that there are obstacles which we cannot overcome, and that the need of our own ingenuity, our own efforts, our own versatile application has passed away. On the contrary, the difficultlen of the boar, which are, I blok, exaggersted, but still are large, are simply a call on you for greater exertions and tenacity of purpose. I am convinced that with out the help of the Goverment, although you shall receive all the help the Government caD give, that call will not be made in vale. (Cbeerr)

It would be well, perhaps, for foreigners to mark this chobs, and cease to employ the mea,- course of action which may possibly have more effect than gubernatorial proclamations and mild constabulary reman- strances.
