upheld in Manchuria, our task in afterwards
upholding them in North China and the
Yangtse Valley will be doubly increased. I
have assumed that in these days of hungry
competition among the nations it is even more
difficult than before to support a weak un-
civilised state against the advance of European
Powers, and that when the former owns un-
developed estates, the exploitation of which is
of vital importance to mankind in general, to
attempt to impede that advance is scarcely less
immoral than futile. The problem, then, has
been how to preserve our interests without
pig-headedly impeding the legitimate advance of
Russia. The solution I offer is, that finding it
impossible at present to come to an under-
standing with her, we must exert our energies
to compel her to come to such an agreement—
not, however, by supporting China to resistance,
but by making Russia realise that advances on
her part which are accompanied by the exclu-
sion of British trade and the cancelment of our
rights, only necessitate counter-advances on our
side ; that we cannot possibly sit still and see
our trade driven out of country after country,
province after province, and port after port.
