Foreigners in China. Notwithstanding the fact that some two hundred years have elapsed since the commencement of trade with China, merchants at the treaty ports are still only on the fringe of the country, as they are permitted to deal with the natives only at certain specially appointed places and are restricted from sending goods into the interior except in specially author- ised directions. The result of these absurd regulations, which keep western nations waiting on the doorstep of China, has long been the restriction of trade and a cevere handicap on the for- sigaer. Since tho awakening of Chice, the Peking Government has realised the necessity for foreign assistance in developing industries and promoting trade, and, while for a long series of years all the treaty porta were on the seaboard or the estuary of some big river, more recently a modified permission to foreigners has been extended to inland cities, notably Kirin" (Mancharia) and Tainan-fu (Shantung), to engage in--business but without the sweeping guarantees extended to treaty ports by the treaty of Nanking.
China Mail,
The State Religion in China. A Confacian Government reigned and scholarship ruled. Scholare reigned and administered and their Government brought peace and prosperity to the people. the masses till they themselves It gradually raised the status of entered within the charmed circle of scholarship. In those days, scholars were not in any way tyrannieed, but had free scope for the exercise of their influence; and the most excellent results followed. The last words of the speech reported are "They did not suffer under the harsh oppression at the banda of common people." It would seem from all this that the aim of the speaker is not only to re-establish the influence of Confucius, but,: at the same time, to re-enthrone the literati of the country. If this
is so, we venture to affirm that ho is moving along wrong lines for the scholars of China cannot save her at this juncture. What China wants today is mon of wider outlook thin the average scholar possesses, and, at the same time, men who do not sit in their dark small rooms brooding over difficult Chinese phraser, whose meaning after all does not affect life, She wants men of action, for it is such practical leaders alone who can assist the State in these troublone times. In fact, China's true welfare lies in her serious ion of more mundans consideration things than religion.
