karo even where the climate is favourable, as lo Canada, for instance, which is a splendid coun- try, but no fairyland, as those who try to boom it would make you think if you did not know otherwise. To touch only on the agricultural question, Canada is a splendid 'opening for the hard working, persevering, resourceful labourer, whose ambition in life is to possess a small

You cannot live in our vast commercial centres, Hongkong and Singa. pore, without being struck by this fact. Our trade out there, instead of doubling and trebling itsalf as it would if we were not too proud to learo, is stationary, while that of our foreign competitors is gaining ground every day, and we will not readjust our ideas to fall in with the new state of things,

China naturally turned elsewhere.

I hops our manufacturers are beginning to realize the vital importance of their choice of men to represent them in the Colonies. There is, perhaps, no school in which there is more to learn, particularly in our Imperial trading centres, provided you come with an open mind and a knowledge of foreign language without which so dos ought to travel, as thit alone makes friendship and mutual understanding with other nations possible, and enables us to look at all that affects our Empire from a much broader bazit that we otherwise could... Eng land is now paying much more attention to this question; but until our whole system of teach. ing foreign languages is altered we shall be handicapped both commercially and politically

Nothing perhaps is more touching in our tropical Colonies than the way the natives trust in us and in our judgment. Great is our rasponsibility when we abuse their faith,
