562 TRANSACTIONS OF SECTION F. 
The Chinese as mechanics show a high average of proficiency, but fail to 
do work of the first class. 
In commerce, trade, and business generally they have a high reputation 
for commercial integrity, but there are limitations within which such 
reputation ought to be accepted. 
They are usually at their worst as officials. 
They fail to appreciate the obligations incidental to the administration 
of trusts. 
The scale of expenditure of the Chinese out of their own country is a 
rising one, and there are reasons sometimes*operating to cause them to 
maintain a minimum scale. 
The objections taken to Chinese immigration, and the arguments in its 
favour, and the problematical nature of the whole question, were referred to.
