CONSULOR WORK

MANY SUGGESTIONS IN LONDON JOURNAL

London, Oct, 30. More effective diplomatic and Consular co-operation in China la strongly urged by a special corres- pondent of the Observer in an articie China stating that

on there is a narrowing gulf be- tween the two services in China itself, and suggesting that Consuls make additional personal contacts, Arstly with the English industrial areas and secondly with the British Chambers of Commerce.

be at

The article says the commercial and diplomatic service should re-organised and concentrated Shanghai, while the present is the right moment to bring the Legation to or nearer Nanking. It suggests regarding this that either a tem- porary Chancery could be erected on the spacious grounds of the Consulate General at Shanghai with the Minister residing at the Consul General's house, or a suit- able house outside in Shanghal could be leased and a temporary chancery erected nearby.

Answering the argument that this would mean that the Minister would become immersed in Shang- hal problems the correspondent cou- tends it would be a good thing for the minister to come into closer contact with the British community in Shanghal. The scheme would save the cost of the Legation guard

at Peking.

Another alternative achome would be to house the Minister in temporary buildings at Nanking but this would be more expensive as it would necessitate. now buildings to house the staff which would be un necessary at Shanghal.

While advocating closer British co-operation with China the corres- pondont anys this must not be con fused with laxness and he in- stances the unsatisfactory features of the administration of the Boxer Indemnity Fund arising from in- suicient provision in the agree ment for inspection and audit. He cites Sir Hope Simpson's work na a successful example of co- operation Router.
