But in view of the technical flaw in the lease by which ́ Weihaiwel in held, it seams to have been agreed that the whiest course is, as far as possible, tó ignore it. This fach, and the plain, biot given

to would-be investors of capital that in the possible event of the Territory's rendition to China they need not look to the Home Gov erament for compensation, are not calculated. to encourage the development of our posses xions in Shantung.

To come to detail of the repait now before us, it is seen that the grant-in-aid for the year 1607-8 was £10,000. Money flowed canily during the years surrounding the Russo-Japan ere War, and once, in 1915-6, Weihaiwei'a deficit was brought as low as £3,cc, while for 1956-7 it was no more than 4,50%. But it appears to be considered by Sir Stewart Lock hart that tooco-represents about the parmel amount of assistance required; and althoogh | be excuses this sum by increased police force, -and.the..newly created post of District Officer, it must be conceded that the cost of Weihai- wel to the Empire, considering. ber own very slender resources, is extremely moderate. It should also be noted that the disbandment of the Chiness regiment affected a large saving to the Imperial funds. Expenditure has in-appointed hour, created from the previous year by nearly $3,000. But the bulk of thin ií'accounted for by the cost of stores taken over from the Chinese regiment, a non-recurring item; and in the meantime the Territory's revenue has grown from $76,777 in 1906-7 to 182331 in the year under review. This is the highest point, yet reached, except in, the two abnormal years. of the war, and is nearly four times the ravebua collected in 1970-27 So much of figures is necessary for a just appreciation of THE FINANCIAL POSITION.
