That IS n bold proposition Of the English
writer, Mr.. Curzons, that England shall
gain the confidence OF China by giving
her aid freely in her difficulties with a
view to being let by degrees into the
practical administration Of the whole
Chinese Government II may seem
chimerlcal at first blush, yet it may not
be entirely So When the Chinese can be
once induced 10 give their confidence IT
Is their disposition to rely upon their
ally, and the justice with which England
has ruled India shows that her people
have q genius for dealing with the semi
civilized inhabitants Of the East. Many
worse things for the peace Of the world
might happen than the falling OF China
under practical suzerainty By England.
It would hem Russia IN and put that
curb upon her ambitious projects that
is so necessary 70 the peace and order
Of the world: and It would commence
the enlightenment Of the benishtcd mil
Hons who inhabit the immense territory
which we call the Chinese Empire. 1t
Is a docie race OF people that can be
easily led when II gives its confidence
and great results for civilization would
follow from bringing Chimes prodisi2us
resources into the activity Of modern
progress. We shall probably never see
Mr. Cdrzon's suggestions realized, but il
would be a great day for the world If
we should.
