The Canton Government desires to secure the goodwill of foreigners, of which an article in a recent issue of the "Canton Times" seems to give proof. If we are correctly informed, this paper re-fleets the views of Dr. Sun Yat-sen Ca. The one to which we refer speaks of the report that the directors of the Canton-Hankow Railway oppose the introduction of foreign capital to complete its construction, and goes on to point out that this line, which should be one of the most prosperous in the country, is continually in financial distress. The objection to foreign capital is that it would mean foreign control for a time, but the "Canton Times" is quite prepared for this, it deplores the many instances of mismanagement under Chinese administration, and finally urges acceptance of the _assistance of the Consortium. This is in keeping with the views which Dr. Sun himself expressed when he said he would welcome the introduction of foreign capital to aid in the development of Kuangtung. As things are, however, he is not in an especially good position to offer any security to foreigners for the safety of their capital even in his own province.
