We have referred in past issues to the two volumes

of Mr. Justice Feetham's Report to the Municipal Council of Shanghai and need not again emphasize their importance, which was appreciated by most people, though apparently not by the late Government. They hurried His Majesty's Minister to conclude negotiations over the Treaty Ports and extra-territoriality, just before they could have the advantage of studying the Report. We have now received a summary of the second volume with some comments, reprinted in handy pamphlet form from the North-China Daily News in Shanghai, which would do a good service if it made -the pamphlet obtainable in this country.
