Great reconstruction was going on. China needed not only capital but skilled help. In the history of China; Great Britain had supplied not only capital but also men with wide know-Jedge—for instance, Sir Hobert Hart and Sir Frederick Leith-Ross._ Their railways had been built by English effort and English capital. The railway system had been reinstated and the railway debt paid, Sir Frederick Leith-Ross deserved the gratitude of the Chinese people for the part he had played in their currency reform. British business men were interested in Chinese euro rency: they should believe that China was anxious that that currency should remain stabilized. They were making. sweeping banking changes.
