The other question which occupied us very mych during the summer and autumn was the question of China, I do not think that even now there is a feeling of satisfaction with the Government as reghida thờ management of affairs in China.

I must express the hope that we shall ve something more, authoritative than speeches by Mr. Chamberlain-namely, from Lord Salisbury himself, and that he will explain what is the policy of the Government with regard to China and to what limits they are prepared to go. We shall also hear, I hope, what agreement has been concluded with Germany. I should welcome that with the greatest pleasure, for I do not know a single nation with which we should have more cordial relations than with Germany for there is no. where in the world where out interests ought to come into contact. If Lord Salisbury bas concluded an agreement with Germany, and if it. relates to some question with reference to Africa which has given us some trouble, a great Advantage will have been gained for the peace of the world and for our interests in those parts of it.
