Tariff Reform again." A policy of Preference with the Colonies seems very attractive; but it is more than doubtful if it could be successfully realised. It bistles with difficulties and dif- fioulties of a kind that will by no means tend to further what all loyal Britons, irrespective of Party politics, wish to see furthered- namely, the consolidation of the Empire. We are quite aware that Mr. Chamberlain's chief : point was the reverse from this conclusion and though, of course, the opinion of such a man must be, as it has been, very seriously considered, it does not follow that it is infallible...

The question is not one for the unseemly exhibition "of temper that accompanies its discussion much too frequently. It is one for calm, impartial" consideration. That has been given to it by care- fal and profound thinkers on both sides of the political bias; and to all appearance an overwhelming mass of covinning evidence fu Youre the retention by the Mother Country of the policy of Free Trade-a noble and inspiring doctrine-while the Colonies are, of course, at liberty to adopt what ever fiscal policy suits their par ticular needs."

Chinese Loans.

The unwillingness of the Powers to lead their approval to loans to China except upon terms, which afford adequate security for the money, is eri-lence of a policy aiming at the preservation. of China's territorial integrity. It would be unwise on Chini's part not, to support it, because, but for this understanding among the Powers, China stands in grave danger of seeing arepetition of the scramble for "spheres of influence" such as threatened the partitioning of the country ten years ago. China's fattempt to break up the ring.

was distinolly unwise from her own standpoint, and she will have. no reason to regret the failure of the attempt. Some satisfaction is to be gleaned from the obstinate fight, over the loan conditions, inasmnal as it has served" 10 emphasise the weakness and inefficiency of the coun- try's financial admiministration and has thus made plainer to the Government the paths of re- form. We see manifested on every hand a keen desire for pro- gress and reform. Great schemes are adumbrated. Many are des tined to be pigeon-holed, but when China is prepared to offer terms which will induce the free flow of foreign capital into she country her progress will be rapid and her prosperity unbounded. We trust to see a good beginning made in this direction in 1913.
