CHINA AND THE "UNEQUAL TREATIES"

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—In view of your more than interesting article on " The Urgent Problem of China," I take the liberty of suggesting the advisability of your looking over the closing conditions or terms of the New Consortium for China. They are not numerous, though numerous enough to disclose conditions that are so one-sided, and so determinedly framed, without the leave of China, that no one but a fool, or a maniac, would be likely to regard them as either equitable, or even approach. ing the realm of reason.—I am, Sir, &c., GEO. L. BRANDER.
