The Royal Dutch Company will be strengthen ed considerably by having a powerful distri. buting agency at its back, while the Shell Company will have its producing area enlarged. This amalgamation, therefore, brings about a consolidation of the whole of the Far Eastern interests, which, there can be no doubt, will under the agis of the Shell Company, Fave a far-reaching offect on the oil trade of that part of the world.

A BURMA-CHINA RAILWAY..

Some surprise, says the Financial News, was caused in interested circles a short time ago on the appearance of a reported speech by Lord Curzon, in which the Viceroy was re presented to have deprecated the extension of the Burmese railway chinawards for some time to come.

Lae af nation of consumers is drawn to the fact that

BEWARE OF INFERIOR IMITATIONS !

when our colonial possessions were regarded as suitable regions to which to transport criminals, have long passed. But for many out with her cargo of undesirables, the Colonies years after the convict ship had ceased to put,

Canada, 954c) Australia, and New Zealand had nothing material to gain by sending their sons to take Part in the Empire's conflict. Neither their Had they seen it to stand by and watch existence nor their interests were in danger. the South African struggle no blame could have been attached to them. But in place of nursing old grievances and in place of

WAITING FOR AN ADVANCE on the part of the authorities at home, the Colonial Governments spontaneously came forward. Their offers of contingents were accepted by the Imperial Government and the transaction afforded proof of the strong ties which bind our scattered dominions to the seat of the Empire. No Colony, comparatively. speaking, has excelled New Zealand, in the ardour of patriotism. Ten thousand men have left her shores bound for the seat of war. Each

It is the tradition of British policy to post-reverse, each additional pro-Boer attack, in- pone railway extension to the latest possible moment. As an astute American writer observed some time back: In the States the railway goes first and the people and trade come after; in Great Britain the people pioneer, and the rails follow slowly." But it was hope that Lord Curzon, with his characteristic "pushful ness," would adopt an opposite line, and would advocate failway extension in every possible direction. His speech in which he threw

COLD WATER

on any extension from Burma castwards came, therefore, as a great disappointment. The impression has since gained ground that the Viceroy is not opposed in any sense to the principle of extension eastwards from Burma, but holds the opinion that the building of other lines should take pre cedence. The Kashmir extension-of which a full account appeared in the Financial News some days ago—is understood to be the project which appeals most strongly to his ex- cellency. Strong representations, however, might well be made to Lord Curzon with regard to the necessity of prompt activity in the East ern field? It is certain that anyone who would advocate the pushing on of the line without delay to join the Yangtse-kiang at a navigable reach would be able to make out a strong case.

tensified the loyalty of the people of New Zealand, Mr. Seddon, the Premier of the Colony, has stated, and he repeated the remarc quite recently, that the inhabitants of New Zealand are determined to aid Great Britain to the utmost extent within their power, and that they will regard no sacrifice as too great effectively to prove their patriotism. But the New Zealander's idea of loyalty does not end with the mere despatch of armed contingents to South Africa. He is desirous of seizing the. opportunity to bring into closer touch Great gave of his best unasked, and ungrudgingly, Britain and her distant possessions. While he he is too far sighted not to realise the impor tance to himself of the present moment. The war has shown him the weak spots in the time opportune for remedying the defects— annour of the Empire, and he considers the Irish Times, “

Rightly or wrongly, the policy of the governles, ment with regard to China is viewed with grave misgiving by those whose trade interests lie in

THE FAR EAST.

The completion of the Trans-Siberian line to Vladivostock, coupled with Russian activity in Manchuria, bas caused an uneasy feeling, which is beightened by the increase of French influence in the province of Yunnan. It is felt that Great Britain is being systematically hem med in by the Dual Alliance in a manner which must eventually cripple, if it does not kill, British trade in China.

The project of carrying the rails east, which we now suggest, is not a new one, and has been strongly advocated by those railway men who haye carefully studied the question. Though the engineering problems involved are heavy, they offer no really serious obstacle, and rough survey has shown the feasibility of effecting a junction with the Yangtse-kiang. A highly. favourable report was, it is understood, given by a government engineer who was sent some time ago to make a private examination; but for some reason the matter was shelved. Wo see no reason to doubt that the railway could be made paying on
