THE CASE FOR THE CHINESE.

(To the Editor.) Sir,— Exceedingly pleased to ivmi your remarks re above in last evening's issue. Having spent a few years of my life in China, I can say with confidence that there are "lumps" of truth in it, and, more, it affords — if the colon jstc are wi«v— "lumps" of food for reflection. Look at the humiliating position the Australasians are occupying, blazon ing about the country that they are frightened of the Chinese. That is evident, but they should be discreet. There is nothing to fear if we treat the Chinese honestly; otherwise the day of reckoning is not far off, nearer than many think. There is a big debit balance against us. — I am, etc., BRITON.
