Inspiration to Phrase Makers.

The Cantonese have been an inspira-
ton to phrase makers for years. Be
cause of their gift for political or
ganization they have been called the
Irish of China while their penchant
for political unrest has caused them to
be dubbed the rebellion makers in
ordinary to the Chinese people. His
torianS see striking analogy between
Cantons relation to the Chinese ma
ton in 1912 and that of Paris to pro-
vincial France in 1889.
Many factors have contributed to
the unrest in the province of kwanS
tunE. one of the most important be-
ing the struggle for sheer existence in
a state which with area equal to
South Dakota has to support a popu
latiOu fifty times as great.
Canton itself is a city of seething
humanity. with streets so narrow that
only coolies can be employed as beasts
of burden. \ large percentage of the
people live in small boats which form

Geographically. the two provinces
of kwangsi and kwangtung are cut
off from northern and central China
by mountain ranges which are moder-

are sugar, cocoanuts and betel nuts.

The Cantonese We're among the first
Chinese people to come in general con-
tact with the outside world. The Arabs
reached the shores of the maritime
province in the tenth century and soon
these hardy sailors were acting as
captains of Chinese junks sailing to
Manila, Java. Borneo and Siam. The
first Europeans to reach Canton by sea
were the Portuguese. Two years be-
fore CorteZ landed in Mexico Emanuel,
King of Portugal. sent an ambassador
with eight ships around the Cape OF
Good Hope to induce the Emperor of
China to sanction trade relations with
the nation of navigators. The mission
was successful and the visitors were
allowed to enter the harbor of Canton.
More than a hundred years later
the English arrived and met with a
hostile reception on account of re-
cent rupture in the friendly relations
between the Portuguese and the ma
tives. It was not until 1885 that the
emperor finally sanctioned trade rela-
lions with Great Britain, naming Can
ton as the only port of entry.
