Chinese Business Methods.

An attempt to put Chinose busi- ese in the Philippines on a afer and more legitimate basis. has met with opposition from the President of the Chinese Chamber fCommerce. This was only to ne expected, however, as the Chin ese still have a habit of opposing toparture from "olo". oustom: The im of the authorities is that Chin- se ding business in the Philip pines should keep their books in written language which is com mon to the country in which they ire carrying on business, namely, in Spanish or English, the object baing, of course, to facilitato the overment in investigations of business records when such in vestigations are necessary. In a atter to the Times Mr. Banito Siy-Cong Bieng opposes the suggestion, asking what would: happen if the Chinese Govora- meat were to attempt to make all foreigners in China keep their Sooks in Chinese? This is an old form of argument bat it is easily inswered. The conditions are act exactly on a par.

A Policy of Conquest,

Major Haushofer then hints that the Dutch colonies offer to the Japanese not only exceptional, inducements for settlement but exceptional excuse for a policy of conquest in the interests of the native inhabitants. The Austra lian question is then brought ander review, and the right of a handful of white men to "hold up a continent against settle- ment by the very people most capable of turning it to good account, as well as the possibility of their doing so permanently, is briefly debated. Major Haushofer draws attention to an important series of articles by Takeoshi Yosaburo entitled"" Towards the Youth," which appeared in 1908, and to the programme of the docisty called Asia Gikai," which is proceeding in an extremely well-planned and methodical manner towards the creation of a common Asiatic feeling against European domination. In so far:/ 8 there is any "real danger" to the white countries of the Pacifio region it can only be seen in the movement indicated in this extract from a review of Major Hanshofer's book-and if this is all the Australian colonies have to fear, we can regard them as per fectly safe for a long time yet to

come..

Shipbuilding Worki

While the shipbuilding "work" u hand in the United Kingdom io decreased to the extent of 66,000 tons as compared with tbree months ago, and nearly 173,000 tons as compared with a rear ago, the situation, saya Engineering to hand, in foreign countries shows no falling off in present activity. The total for dermeny for instance, shows an increase, as compared with a reir ago, of 38,413 tone, equal to 72 per cent. in France, of 31,234 tone, or about 16 per cent.; in Japan the total is more than loable that of a year ago; in. Norway it is 18,472 tons, or 62 per cent., higher; and in the British Colonies the total is 56,806 tons as compared with 22,758 tons, The instance where there is an important falling off is in the United States, where the total now is 78,000 tons less than a year ago, equal to 34 per cent, Thege facts are deduced from the returns just issued by Lloyd's Register:
