WIT H "PALM OIL-*
Some Inside Points on How _Chines
Concesslons Are Secured.'
The usual procedure in securing Chi
nese concessions is somewhat as fol
lows: There first comes to Peking the
,dvance agent, the typical concession
hunter, to look over the ground and A
out what China has to give away
that can be taken up by a public com
pany and secure the support of the
share-buying public abroad. Some- U
times he is sent as the representative
of a group of capitalists who have a P
definite idea of what they wish to se
cure, and in such cases he is furnished
with formidable letters of credit, to
supply the very necessary sinews of
this finarcial war. Sometimes he
comes unsupported. and, ha. -ag
"hooked" some conditional grant,
posts hot-footed to London or New
York to see what can be done with it.
Occasionally promoters are of a dif
ferent class enLirely; namely, the
igents of foreign governments, trying,
under the cloak of private enterprise, t
to advance a political degign in some
-f the empire in which these govern- t
nts seek a predominating influence, 1
says Charics Denby in the Forum. Ex- t
perience has proved that these advance t
-agents need not be gentlemen of the i
highest education or refinement, but I
they do need to be endowed with a cer
tain instinct for diplom"acy in its lower
.orms, and they must be, above all,
shrewd and persistent, of indomitable
-perseverance, and with a faculty for
making friends. Scruples as to meth
ods are with them superfluous, but a
willingness and an ability in the ap
plication of "palm oil" are indispens
able. They must, also, be men of their
word toward those who work with
them. What they promise to those
who aid in the negotiation of their
contracts they must faithfully fulfill;
because while Chinese business integ
rity does not rise in the Quixotia
height of refusing to enter into cor
rupt contracts, it expects scrupulous
actitude in their execution. The
pr mise o-the promoter to his-Chin
ese alders and ibdttors i:'social cir
cles becomes a debt of honor, pay
ment of which is. or should be, abso
lutely sure. On such terms as these
have off?ces in China been secured,
promotions obtained, enterprises au
thorized, for hundreds of years; and
the foreign promoter must, as his
initial step, 'give his adherence thereto.
The method of procedure of the ad
vance agent is to make the acquaint
ance of the mandarins of Pekin; secur
ing here and there an ally and a
friend. Then, at some favorable mo
ment, he lays his project before the
proper department of the government;
relying on the support of his friends
to secure it favorable consideration.
One of the greatest concessions re
cently signed in China enriched in its
negotiations numberless officials. The
writer himself saw a promissory note
for $35,000 payable to a small of~cIal
upon formation of a certain company.
