The Chairman-The-confirmation of the election of the new members is the next to the Central Government and to foreign trade business before the meeting. I have pleasure ever since it was established in 1859.

The removal of lekin would give freedom of trade to all countries in the largest unopened markers in the world, and the reform couldnot fail to bring about a great ganemal expansion in exports from China. Any expansion in exports would enrich China's industrious and frugal millions, and would enable them to buy in creasingly of imports from the outside world's markets. So soon as lekin in thoroughly abolished,
