in AMMAN AS to Cochin-China, which by

Inasmuch as Sir Lepel Griffin has reported
to the British government that, IN his opln-
ion. the future of Burmah belongs to the
Chinese it is hardly surprising that. in
view of recent developments in Pekin, we
should seek to strengthen the burmese gar
riSon. large proportion of the trade of
Rangoon is in their hands, and they are
numerous i'll all the commercial towns up
country, as, for instance, Mandalay. They

respectable citizens which the Burmese
lack. They are the best of all i'm
migrants in the east During several cen

residing in Burmah, many of them married
to native women. The sons of these Bur-
mese wives go to school in Yum Nan to
learn Chinese and perpetuate their
habits and customs. From southeastern
China the immigration has been of many
years duration. but until recently in small
numbers At present there can hardly be
less than $4,000 eastern Chinese in Bur-
NAH which. together with those already
