Foreign Help Needed. At a period when Home oritics. bemoan the lack of progress made in China, on the eve of her ex- pansion, by British manufacturora of machinery, it is gratifying to learn that every effort is being made by ardent Britisbors to im prove on the immediate past, and... to place before the Chinese those faots an to British manufactures which commanded unchallenged supremacy for many years in the commercial markets of the world, The "missionary" of the manu faoturer has visited the Orient, to be educated, in the needs of the nation, and he has returned to the homeland with information which should be of inestimable value to the producers who would compoto with those already in the field.

The Likia Question, Wo can understand China's reluctance to abolish likinfor this souros of revenue brings jalo the Treasury a sum of about thirty million dollars annually----

but a bold defence of the piracy of foreign books and foreign trade-marks is something that one does not expect to hear from an accredited emissary of the Finance Department. Not the least important feature of the meeting was the denunciation of bikin by Chinese marchants. The Delegate was asked to note that the levying of this tax dates no farther back than the Taiping Rebellion, and that the reason for its introduction, was that it was deemed necessary to find em- ployment for superfiuous officials, They do not now object so much to the tax as to the gigantlo squeeze" to which its collection gives rise. When we 483 the Chinese themselves demanding the abolition of likin we are encouraged to hope that this most serious handicap to trade and commerce is destined to be re- moved before many years pass.

It always a little difficult to account for the origin of a fashion, in the present .. most people would probably attribute it to the recent Revolution, and the supposed opening-up of new markets and enterprises in the Far East, More romantic is the theory that the actual origin datos from the loot. ing of Peking in 1000, when Bo many treasures of Chinese Art found their way to Europe. These have been carefully guarded by their fortunate owners, but their beauties have gradually come to appeal to an ever-widening circle, and now, with the direct impetus of the opening-up of a new Chins, which is very old, the fashion springs into being,
