He will return shortly to China. Sir Liang saying this evening that he wag "too valuable a man to be allowed to remain long away from his post-" Sir Ll&ag and Mr. "Wang remained with the President neatly an hour. Later Sir Liang chatted frankly on several topics. He said their call today was one simply of respect. "Mr. "Wang did not come to thl3 coun try to negotiate an exclusion troaty." said the Minister, "and that subject was not even mentioned In our conversation with the President. In fact, there was no particular significance in our visit." Sir Liang was asked about the recent purchase by the Chinese government of the Canton-Hankow Railroad and its con cessions, and responded: That 1 purely & local Chinese enterprise. No. the Japanese have nothing whatever to do with it. The line is to be operated and extended by the people of the three prov inces through which eventually It will run. Focrtpn engineers will be employed to make the extensions, but they will be simply em ployes. Chinese will own and operate the read. There is really not the prejudice in China against railroads that is popularly supposed. Recently there has been a great awakening among the Chinese, and enterprises of vari ous kinds are prosecuted successfully. All this, of course, is a matter of education. To advance the interests of education and to Mudy methods, a commission consisting of a Prince, a. Privy Councillor, a Governor of a pi-ovinee and an Assistant Treasurer has been appointed to vIMt Europe and Amerloa. The rommlMton will make exhaustive investiga tion and Its report will be made the basis of advance aetlons on the part of the govern ment. Sir Liang and Mr. Wang left for New York at 6:12 P.
