Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Legal Obligations Arising Out of Treaty Relations Between China and Other States In commending the following dissertation - written while in London - to the notice of the public, the author is not a little diffident. The number of topics discussed in these pages is so wide and the access to first-hand information is so restricted that misstatements and inaccuracies are inevitable here and there. Besides, the method of treatment here adopted necessitates a rather jumpy and disjointed sort of discourse. Consequently, the number of omissions - e.g. the historical background - will be found to be considerable. On the other hand, the author feels that the need of some such book tally justifies his rushing in where angels fear to tread. For, of standard works dealing with the history of China, its foreign relations, its customs and institutions, its industries and natural resources, its fauna and flora, etc., there is not a dearth. But the subject of China's treaty relations, or of the legal obligations arising out of such conventional relations, seems to have been left severely alone. Not a few, indeed, have dealt with, in the form of a brochure or monograph, one or more of the topics discussed herein, but you all-embracing survey of China's treaty obligations in the light of present day world conditions is still lacking. The work which comes nearest to our expectations is, perhaps, Dr. V. K. Wellington Koo's "Status of Aliens in China" - an excellent treatise which may well rank as a vade-mecum for the foreigners in this country. But it does not discuss all the questions connected with the various phases of the legal obligations arising out of the treaty relations between China and other states. The present volume, therefore, represents no more than the results of an attempt to answer the questions which others have left unanswered. It is not intended to displace the numerous publications which the author himself has consulted in the course of his researches. Rather it is to supplement them with what still remains to be added. Therefore its only claim, if any, to originality is, perhaps, the method of treatment here adopted. The subject of China's treaty obligations offers a wide region for the patient investigator, and in these pages the bare fringe only of this virgin field has been touched.
