In the course of the dinner we are told Sir James Mackay "has removed likin," and "bas also arranged that there shall be an improvement in the laws of China and something like legality of procedure introduced." "The monetary system of China will be changed." "China will prove herself strong enough to resist any outside interference," and "there will be that development of character which will bring about unity of action, patriotism, and a desire to uphold the country" clc.
