Two things were in her favour at the outset ore, the natural wealth of the island the other the tractability of her new subjects. Japan based the formation of her first colonial government on the assumption that, however [fo astute and businesslike the Chinaman may be, and however ostimable for his private vinges, noras civic capacity goes he is a mere child, and should be treated as such. Their government, therefore, was organized on con sistantly firm and paternal lines. In some re spects they may have seemed a iride arbitrary but, generally speaking, they have been fair and just, For instance, their scale of com. pensation for the surrender of insanitary pra- perties has sometimes been inadequate, and
