WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
In China, Standards of Weights, Measures and Length vary all over tho
country. Generally speaking, two kinds of standard are now in use, namely,,
the old and the new. The old standard was formulated from the Weights and
Measures Law promulgated in 1914, establishing a double system, the standard
metric unit and that based on Ymq Tmo L'h’ih or “Builder’s Foot” for length and
Kuping tael or Liang for weight. The law governing the new standard was
promulgated by the National Government on February 6, 1929 and it is intended
to be the legal standard of weights and measures acceptable throughout China.
For convenience sake and customary usage it also established a double system;
one is the standard metric unit and the other, which is temporary in nature and
to be abolished as soon as the people are accustomed to the use of standard units,
is designed only for market use. However, the latter is derived from the former
by taking one litre of Rung Sheng as one Shih Sheng which is nearest to the-
Chinese customary unit of capacity Sheng one half kilogram as one Shih Chin
which is the average weight of the different varieties of “Chin” in different
localities; and one third of a meter or Rung Ch’ih as one Sh’ih Ch’ih which is the
average length of different varieties of Chinese “Foot” in different localities, thus
constituting the so-called 1-2-3-system of Chinese weights and measures based on
International metric standard. Such a system, as devised by the Ministry of
Industry, Commerce and Labour and proclaimed by the National Government to
be put into force may also have great bearing on the users of British “ Foot-Pound”"
system by taking the following approximate value : 1 quart equals to 1 litre,
1 pound equals to £ kilogram and 1 yard equals to I meter. The Russian and
Japanese system can also be thus varied accordingly so as to fit themselves to tho
International System. The following is a comparative table showing both the old.
and the new standards together with their approximate foreign equivalents :

TREATIES WITH CHINA
KOWLOON EXTENSION AGREEMENT. 189S
Whereas it has for many years past been recognised that an extension of Hong-
kong territory is necessary for the proper defence and protection of the Colony,
It has now been agreed between the Governments of Great Britain and China
that the limits of British territory shall be enlarged under lease to the extent
indicated generally on the annexed map.
The exact boundaries shall be hereafter fixed when proper surveys have been
made by officials appointed by the two Governments. The term of this lease shall
be ninety-nine years.
It is at the same time agreed that within the City of Kowloon the Chinese
officials now stationed there shall continue to exercise jurisdiction, except so far as
may be inconsistent with the military requirements for the defence of Hongkong.
Within the remainder of the newly-leased territory Great Britain shall have sole
jurisdiction. Chinese officials and people shall be allowed, as heretofore, to use the
road from Kowloon to Hsinan.
It is further agreed that the existing landing-place near Kowloon city shall be
reserved for the convenience of Chinese men-of-war, merchant and passengers vessels,
which may come and go and lie there at their pleasure; and for the convenience of
movements of the officials and people within the city.
When, hereafter, China constructs a railway to the boundary of the Kowloon
territory under British control, arrangements shall be discussed.
It is further understood that there will be no expropriation or expulsion of the
inhabitants of the district included within the extension, and that if land is required
for public offices, fortifications, or the like official purposes, it shall be bought at
a fair price.
If cases of extradition ot criminals occur they shall be dealt with in accordance
with the existing treaties between Great Britain and Chini and the Hongkong
Regulations.
The area leased by Great Britain includes the waters of Mirs Bay and Deep
Bay, but it is agreed that Chinese vessels of war, whether neutral or otherwise,
shall retain the right to use those waters.
This Convention shall come into force on the first day of July, eighteen hundred
and ninety-eight, being the thirteenth day of the fifth moon of the twenty-fourth year
of Kwang Hsii. It shall be ratified by the Sovereigns of the two countries, and the
ratifications shall be exchanged in London as soon as possible.
In witness whereof the undersigned, duly authorised thereto by their respective
Governments, have signed the present agreement.
Done at Peking in quadruplicate (four copies in English and in Chinese) the
ninth day of June, in the year of Our Lord eighteen hundred and ninety-eight, being
the twenty-first day of the fourth moon of the twenty-fourth year of Kwang Hsii.

SUPPLEMENTARY COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA
SIGNED AT SHANGHAI, 5TH SEPTEMBER, 1902
Ratifications Exchanged at Peking, 28th July, 1903
His Majesty tlie King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of
the British Dominions beyond the Seas, Emperor of India, and His Majesty the Em-
peror of China, having resolved to enter into negotiations with a view to carrying out
the provisions contained in Article XI. of the Final Protocol signed at Peking on the
7th of September, 1901, under which the Chinese Government agreed to negotiate the
amendments deemed useful by the Foreign Governments to the Treaties of Commerce
and Navigation and other subjects concerning commercial relations with the object of
facilitating them, have for that purpose named as their Plenipotentiaries, that is to
say:—
His Majesty the King of Great Britain and Ireland, His Majesty’s Special Com-
missioner, Sir James Lyle Mackay, Knight Commander of the Most Eminent Order of
the Indian Empire, a member of the Council of the Secretary of State for India, etc.
And His Majesty the Emperor of China, the Imperial Commissioners Lii Hai-huan,
President of the Board of Public Works, etc., and Sheng Hsuan-huai, Junior Guardian
of the Heir Apparent, Senior Vice-President of the Board of Public Works, etc.
Who having communicated to each other their respective full powers, and
found them to be in good and due form, have agreed upon and concluded the
following Articles:—
Art. L—Delay having occurred in the past in the issue of Drawback Certificates
owing to the fact that those documents have to be dealt with by the Superintendent
of Customs at a distance from the Customs Office, it is now agreed that Drawback
Certificates shall hereafter in all cases be issued by the Imperial Maritime Customs
within three weeks of the presentation to the Customs of the papers entitling the
applicant to receive such Drawback Certificates.
These Certificates shall be valid tender to the Customs Authorities in payment
of any duty upon goods imported or exported (transit dues excepted), or shall, in the
case of Drawbacks on foreign goods re-exported abroad within three years from the
date of importation, be payable in cash without, deduction by the Customs Bank at
the place where the import duty was paid.
But if, in connection with any application for a Drawback Certificate, the
Customs Authorities discover an attempt to defraud the revenue, the applicant shall
be liable to a fine not exceeding five times the amount of the duty whereof he
attempted, to defraud the Customs, or to a confiscation of the goods.
Art. II.—China agrees to take the necessary steps to provide for a uniform
national coinage which shall be legal tender in payment of all duties, taxes and other
obligations throughout the Empire by British as well as Chinese subjects.
Art. III.—China agrees that the duties and lekin combined levied on goods carried
by junks from Hongkong to the Treaty Ports in the Canton Province and vice versa
shall together not be less than the duties charged by the Imperial Maritime Customs
on similar goods carried by steamer.
^ Art. IV—Whereas questions have arisen in the pasi concerning the right of
Chinese subjects to invest money in non-Chinese enterprises and companies, and
whereas it is a matter of common knowledge that large sums of Chinese capital are
so invested, China hereby agrees to recognise the legalitv of all such investments past
oresent and future.
TB E BRITISH COMMEKCIAL' I'BBATY Wl'i'B CHINA
It being, moreover, ofthe utmost importance that all shareholders in a Joint Stock
Company should stand on a footing of perfect equality as far as mutual obligations
are concerned, China further agrees that Chinese subjects who have of may become
shareholders in any British Joint Stock Company shall be held to have accepted, by
the very act of becoming shareholders, the Charter of Incorporation or Memorandum
and Articles of Association of such Company and regulations framed thereunder as
interpreted by British Courts, and that Chinese Courts shall enforce compliance there-
with by such Chinese shareholders, if a suit to fhat effect be entered,;provided always
that their liability shall not be other or greater than that of British shareholders in
the same Company.
Similarly the British Government agree that 'British subjects hivOsting in'
Chinese Companies shall be xinder the same obligations as' the 'Chinese .shareholders
in such companies.
The foregoing sha It not apply to cases which HaVe already been before' the Courts
and been dismissed.
Art. V.-—The Chinese Government undertake to remove within the next two
years the artificial obstructions to, naHgatidii’in the Canton .River. The Chinese
Government also agree to improve the accommodation for shipping in’the harbour of
Canton and .to take the necessary steps tm maintain that improvement, such work to
be carried out by the Imperial Maritime Customs and thecost thereof to Re defrayed,
by a tax on "goods landed and shipped by British and Chinese alike according to a.
scale to be arranged'between-the merchahts and thfe Customs Authorities.
The Chinese Government are aware of the desifahility of improving the naviga-
bility by steamer of the waterway between Icbang and Chungking, buTare also fully
aware that such improvement might involve heavy expense and would affect the
interests pf the population of the provinces of Szeehueii, Humin, and Hupeh. It is,
therefore,'mutually agfeed that until improvenlphts can be carried out steamship
owners shall be allowed; subject to approval -by the Imperial Maritime Customs, to
erect, at their own expense, appliances for hauling thrOugh the rapids. Such
aLppliancee shall be at the disposal of all vessels, both steamers and j unks, subject to
regulations to be drawn up by the Imperial Maritime Customs. These appliances
shall not obstruct: the'Waterway of inter^re with: the free passage of junks. Signal
stations and channel hiurks where and: When necessary .shall be Created by the
Imperial Maritime Custcms. Should any practical "scheme be pfesentecl .for improv-
ing the waterway and assisting navigation without injury to the local population or
cost to the Chinese Government, it shall be "considered by the latter in'a friendly
spirit. - -
Art. VI.—The Chinese Government agree to make arrangements to, give inc^pased
facilities' at the open ports for bonding and for repacking merchandise .ip bond, and,
on official representation being made by the British Authorities, to grant the privi-
leges of a bonded warehouse to any warehouse which,, to the satisfaction of the
Customs' Authorities, affords the. necessary security to, the revenue. ,

copxpatible with the protection , of the revenue. , ,
Art. VII.—Inasmuch as the British Government affords protection, to Chinese
tratle ,mark? against infringement, imitation, or; colourable imitation .by British
subjects,, the Chinese Government, undertake to afford protection, to British trade
marks against infringement, imitation, or. colourable imitation by Chinese subjects.,

Art,;YlT^r-^reqmble.. The Chinese Government, recognising that the system
‘T levyingJehfW and other dues•,on goods at the place of production, in transit, and at
THE BRITISH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA
destination, impedes the free circulation of commodities and injures the interests of i
trade, hereby undertake to discard completely those means of raising revenue with |
the limitation mentioned in Section 8.
The British Government, in return, consent to allow a surtax, in excess of the
Tariff rates for the time being in force, to be imposed on foreign goods imported by {j
British subjects, and a surtax in addition to the export duty on Chinese produce ‘
destined for export abroad or coastwise.
It is clearly understood that after lekin barriers and other stations for taxing
goods in transit have been removed, no attempt shall be made to revive them in any
form or under any pretext whatsoever; that in no case shali the surtax on foreign ,
imports exceed the equivalent of one and a half times the import duty leviable in
terms of the Final Protocol signed by China and the Powers on the 7th day of Sep-
tember, 1901; that payment of the import duty and surtax shall secure for foreign
imports, whether in the hands of Chinese or non-Chinese subjects, in original packages
or otherwise, complete immunity from all other taxation, examination or delay ; that
the total amount of taxation leviable on native produce for export abroad shall, under
no circumstances, exceed 7| per cent, ad valorem.
Keeping these fundamental principles steadily in view, the high contracting
parties have agreed upon the following methods of procedure :—
Section 1.—The Chinese Government undertake that all barriers of whatsoever
kind, collecting lekin or such like dues or duties, shall be permanently abolished on all
roads, railways, and waterways in the Eighteen Provinces of China and the Three
Eastern Provinces. This provision does not apply to the Native Custom-houses at
present in existence on the seaboard or waterways, at open ports, on land routes, and
on land frontiers of China.
Section 2.—The British Government agree that foreign goods on importation, in
addition to the effective 5 per cent, import duty as provided for in the Protocol of 1901,
shall pay a special surtax equivalent to one and a half times the said duty to com-
pensate for the abolition of lekin, of transit dues in lieu of lekin, and of all other
taxation on foreign goods, and in consideration of the other reforms provided for in
this Article; but this provision shall not impair the right of China to tax salt, native
opium and native produce as provided for in Sections 3, 5, 6 and 8.
The same amount of surtax shall be.levied on goods imported into the Eighteen
Provinces of China and the Three Eastern Provinces across the land frontiers as on
goods entering China by sea.
Section 3.—All Native Custom-houses now existing, whether at the Open Ports,
on the seaboard, on rivers, inland waterways, land routes or land frontiers, as
enumerated in the Hu Pu and Kung Pu Tse Li (Regulations of the Boards of Revenue
and Works) and Ta Ch’ing Hui Tien (Dynastic Institutes), may remain; a list of the
same-, with their location, shall be furnished to the British Government, for purposes
of record.
Wherever there are Imperial Maritime Custom-houses, or wherever such may
be hereafter placed, Native Custom-houses may be also established ; as well as at any
points either on the seaboard or land frontiers.
The location of Native Custom-houses in the Interior may be changed as the
circumstances of trade seem to require, but any change must be communicated to the
British Government, so that the list may be corrected; the originally stated number
•of them shall not, however, be exceeded.
Goods carried by junks or sailing-vessels trading to or from open ports shall not
pay lower duties than the combined duties and surtax on similar cargo carried by
■steamers.
Native produce, when transported from one place to another in the interior, shall,
en arrival at the first Native Custom-house, after leaving the place of production, pay
duty equivalent to the export surtax mentioned in Section 7.
When this duty has been paid, a certificate shall be given which shall describe the
nature of the goods, weight, number of packages, etc., amount of duty paid and
intended destination. This certificate, which shall be valid for a fixed period of not
THE BRITISH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA
less than one year from date of payment of duty, shall free the goods from all taxation,
examination, delay, or stoppage at any other Native Custom-houses passed en route.
If the goods are taken to a place not in the foreign settlements or concessions of an
open port, for local use, they become there liable to the Consumption Tax described
in Section 8.
If the goods are shipped from an open port, the certificate is to be accepted by
the Custom-house concerned, in lieu ot the export surtax mentioned in Section 7.
Junks, boats, or carts shall not be subjected to any taxation beyond a small and
reasonable charge, paid periodically at a fixed annual rate. This does not exclude the
right to 'evy, as at present, tonnage (Chuan Chao) and port dues (Chuan Liao) on
junks.
Section 4.—Foreign opium duty and present lekin—which latter will now become
a surtax in lieu of lekin—shall remain as provided for by existing Treaties.
Section 5.—The British Government have no intention whatever of interfering
with China’s right to tax native opium, but it is essential to declare that, in her
arrangements for levying such taxation, China will not subject other goods to taxation,
delay, or stoppage.
China is free to retain at important points on the borders ot each province—either
on land or water—offices for collecting duty on native opium, where duties or contribu-
tions leviable shall be paid in one lump sum ; which payment shall cover taxation of all
kinds within that province Each cake of opium will have a stamp affixed as evidence-
of duty payment. Excise officers and police may be employed in connection with these
offices ; but no barriers or other obstructions are to be erected, and the excise officers
or police of these offices shall not stop or molest any other kinds of goods, or collect
taxes thereon.
A list of these offices shall be drawn up and communicated to the British Govern-
ment for record.
Section 6.—Lekin on salt is hereby abolished and the'amount of said lekin and of
other taxes and contributions shall be added to the salt duty, which shall be collected
at place of production or at first station after entering the province where it is to be
consumed.
The Chinese Government shall be at liberty to establish salt reporting offices at
which boats conveying salt which is being moved under salt passes or certificates may
be required to stop for purposes of examination and to have their certificates vised,
but at such offices no lekin or transit taxation shall be levied and no barriers or
obstructions of any kind shall be erected.
Section 7.—The Chinese Government may re-cast the Export Tariff with specific
duties as far as practicable on a scale not exceeding five per cent, ad valorem; but
existing export duties shall not be raised until at least six months’ notice has been
given.
In cases where existing export duties are above five per cent, they shall be
reduced to not more than that rate.
An additional special surtax of one half the export duty payable for the time-
being, in lieu of internal taxation and lekin, may be levied at time of export on goods
exported either to foreign countries or coastwise.
In the case of silk, whether hand or filature reeled, the total export duty shall not

this specific duty may be levied at the first Native Custom-house in the interior which
the silk may pass and in such case a certificate shall be given as provided for in Section
3, and will be accepted by the Custom-house concerned at place of export in lieu of
half tire export duty. Cocoons passing Native Custom-houses shall be liable to no
taxation whatever. Silk not exported but consumed in China is liable to the Con-
sumption Tax mentioned in Section 8.

THE BRITISH COM.MERCTAL TREATY WITH CHINA
remains the loss of lekin revenue on internal trade to be met, and it is therefore agreed I
that the Chinese Government are at liberty to impose a Consumption Tax on articles i
of Chinese origin not intended for export.
This tax shall be levied only at places of consumption and not on goods while in *
transit, and the Chinese Government solemnly undertake that the arrangements which ’
they may make for its collection shall in no way interfere with foreign goods or with !
native goods for export. The fact of goods: being of foreign origin shall of itself free
them from all taxation, delay, or stoppage, after having passed the Custom-house.
Foreign goods which bear a similarity to native goods shall be furnished by the I
Custom-house, if required by the owner, with a protective certificate for each package, '
on payment of import duty and surtax, to prevent the risk of any dispute in the
interior.
Native goods brought by junks to open ports, if intended for local consumption—
irrespective of the nationality of the owner of the goods—shall be reported at the
Native Custom-house only, where the consumption tax may be levied.
China is at liberty to fix the amount 6f this (consumption) tax, which may vary ]
according to the nature of the merchandise concerned, that is to say, according as the 1
articles are necessaries of life or luxuries; but it shall be levied at a uniform rate on3
goods of the same description, no matter whether carried by junk, sailing-vessel, or
steamer. As mentioned in Section 3, the Consumption Tax is not to be levied within
foreign settlements or concessions.
Section 9.—An excise equivalent to double the import duty as laid down in thel
Protocol of 1901 is to be charged on all machine-made yarn and doth manufactured ini
China, whether by foreigners at the open ports or by Chinese anywhere in China.
A rebate of the import duty and two-thirds of the import surtax is to be given I
on raw cotton imported from foreign countries, and of all duties, including Consump-;
tion Tax, paid on Chinese raw cotton used in mills in China.
Chinese machine-made yarn or cloth having paid excise is to be free of Export ]
Duty, Export Surtax, Coast Trade Duty, and Consumption Tax. This Excise is to be j
collected through the Imperial Maritime Customs.
The same principle and procedure are to be applied to all other products of foreign |
type turned out by machinery, whether by foreigner’s at the open ports or by
'Chinese anywhere in China.
This stipulation is not to apply to the out-turn of the Hanyang and Ta Yeh Iron
Works in Hupeh and other similar existing Government Works at present exempt from |
taxation; or to that of Arsenals, Government Dockyards, or establishments of that!
nature for Government purposes which may hereafter be erected;
Section 10.—-A member or members of the Imperial Maritime Customs Foreign;
Staff shall be selected by each of the Govemors-General and Governors, and appointed,!
in consultation with the Inspector-General of Imperial Maritime Customs, to each pro-
vince for duty in connection with Native Customs affairs, Consumption Tax, Salt and .
Native Opium Taxes. These officers shall exercise an efficient supervision of the work- ;
ing of these departments, and in the event of their reporting any case of abuse, illegal j
exaction, obstruction to the movement of goods, or other cause of complaint, thej
Governor-General or Governor concerned will take immediate steps to put an end toj
same.
Section 11.—Cases where illegal action as described in this Article is complained of
shall be promptly investigated by an officer of the Chinese Government of sufficiently;:
high rank, in conjunction with a British officer and an officer of the Imperial Maritime
Customs, each of sufficient standing; and in the event of its being; found bya majority'
of the investigating officers that the complaint is well founded and loss has been
incurred, due compensation is to be at once paid from the Surtax funds, through the
Imperial Maritime Customs at the nearest open port. The High Provincial Officials
are to be held responsible that the officer guilty of the illegal action shall be severely’
punished and removed from his post.
If the complaint turns out to be without foundation, complainant shall be held
responsible for the expenses of the investigation.
THE BRITISH 0031 MERC IAL TREATY WITH CHINA
His Britannic Majesty’s Minister will have the right to demand investigation
| where from the evidence before him he is satisfied that illegal exactions or obstructions
have occurred.
Section 12.—The Chinese Government agree to open to foreign trade, on the same
footing as the places opened to foreign trade by the Treaties of Nanking and Tientsin,
! the following places, namely:—
Changsha in Hunan;
Wanhsien in Szechuen;
Nganking in Anhui;

posts.
■Section 14.—The condition on which the Chinese Government enter into the
- present engagement is that all Powers entitled to most favoured nation treatment in
China enter into the same engagements as Great Britain with regard to the payment
of surtaxes and other obligations imposed by this Article on His Britannic Majesty’s
Government and subjects.

; present engagement are:—
(1) That all Powers who are :now of tvlid may hereafter become entitled td'most

China have failed to agree to enter into the engagements undertaken by Great Britain

signing of this Treaty to initiate and conclude the revision of ..the existing Mininil
Regulations. China will, with all expedition and earnestness, go into the whole
question of Mining Rules and, selecting from the rules of Great Britain, India, and
other countries, regulations which seem applicable to the condition of China, she will
re-cast her present Mining Rules in such a way as while promoting the interests of
10 THE BRITISH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA
Chinese subjects and not injuring in any way the sovereign rights of China, shall offer
no impediment to the attraction of foreign capital, or place foreign capitalists at a
greater disadvantage than they would be under generally accepted foreign regulations.
Any mining concession granted after the publication of these new Eules shall be
subject to their provisions.
Art. X.—Whereas in the year 1898 the Inland Waters of China were opened to all
such steam vessels, native or foreign, as might be especially registered for that trade
at the Treaty Ports, and whereas the Regulations dated 28th July, 1898, and Supple-
mentary Rules dated September, 1898, have been found in some respects inconvenient
in working, it is now mutually agreed to amend them and to annex such new Rules
to this Treaty. These Rules shall remain in Force until altered by mutual consent.
It is further agreed that Kongmoon shall be opened as a Treaty Port, and that, in
addition to the places named in the special Article of the Burmah Convention of 4th
February, 1897, British steamers shall be allowed to land or ship cargo and passengers,
under the same regulations as apply to the “ Ports of Call ” on the Yangtze River, at
the following “Ports of Call”: PakTau Hau (Pai-t‘u k‘ou),Lo Ting Hau (Lo-ting k'ou),
and Do Sing (Tou-ch‘eng); and to land or discharge passengers at the following ten
passenger landing stages on the West River:—Yung Ki (Jung-chi), Mah Xing (Ma-
ning), Kau Kong (Chiu-chiang), Kulow (Ku-lao), Wing On (Yung-an), How Lik
(Houli), Luk Pu (Lu-pu), Yuet Sing (Yiieh-ch‘eng), Luk To (lu-tu) and Fung Chuen
(Feng-ch‘uan).
Art. XI.—His Britannic Majesty’s Government agree to the prohibition of the
general importation of morphia into China, on condition, however, that the Chinese
Government will allow of its importation, on payment of the Tariff import duty and
under special permit, by duly qualified British medical practitioners and for the
use of hospitals, or by British chemists and druggists who shall only be permitted
to sell it in small quantities and on receipt of a requisition signed by a duly qualified
foreign medical practitioner.
The special permits above referred to will be granted to an intending importer
on his signing a bond before a British Consul guaranteeing the fulfilment of these
conditions. Should an importer be found guilty before a British Consul of a breach
of his bond, he will not be entitled to take out another permit. Any British subject
importing morphia without a permit shall be liable to have such morphia con-
fiscated.
This Article will come into operation on all other Treaty Powers agreeing to its
conditions, but any morphia actually shipped before that date will not be affected by
this prohibition.
The Chinese Government on their side undertake to adopt measures at once to
prevent the manufacture of morphia in China.
Art. XII.—China having expressed a strong desire to reform her judicial system
and to bring it into accord with that of Western nations, Great Britain agrees to
give every assistance to such reform, and she will also be prepared to relinquish her
extra-territorial rights when she is satisfied that the state of the Chinese laws, the
arrangement for their administration and other considerations warrant her in so
doing.
Art. XIII.—The missionary question in China being, in the opinion of the
Chinese Government, one requiring careful consideration, so that, if possible, troubles
such as have occurred in the past may be averted in the future, Great Britain agrees
to join in a Commission to investigate this question, and, if possible, to devise means
for securing permanent peace between converts and non-converts, should such a
Commission be formed by China and the Treaty Powers interested.
Art. XIY.—Whereas under Rule V. appended to the Treaty of Tientsin of 1858.
British merchants are permitted to export rice and all other grain from one port of
China to another under the same conditions in respect of security as copper “ cash,”
it is now agreed that in cases of expected scarcity or famine from whatsoever cause in
any district, the Chinese Government shall, on giving twenty-one days’ notice, be at
liberty to prohibit the shipment of rice and other grain from such district.
THE BRITISH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA 11
Should any vessel specially chartered to load rice or grain previously contracted
for have arrived at her loading port prior to or on the day when a notice of prohibition
to export comes into force, she shall be allowed an extra week in which to ship her
cargo.
If during the existence of this prohibition, any shipment of rice or grain is allowed
by the authorities, the prohibition shall, ipso facto, be considered cancelled and shall
not be re-imposed until six weeks’ notice has been given.
When a prohibition is notified, it will be stated whether the Government have any
Tribute or Army Rice which they intend to ship during the time of prohibition, and,
if so, the quantity shall be named.
Such rice shall not be included in the prohibition, and the Customs shall keep a
record of any Tribute or Army Rice so shipped or landed.
The Chinese Government undertake that no rice, other than Tribute or Army
Rice belonging to the Government, shall be shipped during the period of prohibition.
Notifications of prohibitions, and of the quantities of Army or Tribute Rice for
shipment shall be made by the Governors of the Province concerned.
Similarly, notifications of the removals of prohibitions shall be made by the same
authorities.
The export of rice and other grain to foreign countries remains prohibited.
Art. XY.—It is agreed that either of the High Contracting Parties to this Treaty
may demand a revision of the Tariff at the end of 10 years; but if no demand be made
on either side within 6 months after the end of the first 10 years, then the Tariff shall
remain in force for 10 years more, reckoned from the end of the preceding 10 years,
and so it shall be at the end of each successive 10 years.
Any Tariff concession which China may hereafter accord to articles of the produce
or manufacture of any other State shall immediately be extended to similar articles
of the produce or manufacture of His Britannic Majesty’s Dominions by whomsoever
imported.
Treaties already existing between the United Kingdom and China shall continue
in force in so far as they are not abrogated or modified by stipulations of the present
Treaty.
Art. XYI.—The English and Chinese Texts of the present Treaty have been care-
fully compared, but in the event of there being any difference of meaning between
them, the sense as expressed in the English text shall be held to be the correct sense.
The ratifications of this Treaty, under the hand of His Majesty the King of
Great Britain and Ireland and of His Majesty the Emperor of China respectively shall
be exchanged at Peking within a year from this day of signature.
In token whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed and sealed this
Treaty, two copies in English and two in Chinese.

THE BRITISH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA T3
“ In the negotiations now being conducted with G-reat Britain for the amendment
“ of the Commercial Treaties, a mutual arrangement has been come to providing for
“the imposition of additional taxes, in compensation for the abolition of all kinds of
“ lekin and other imposts on goods, prohibited by Article VIII. After payment of
“ interest and sinking fund on the existing foreign loan, to the extent to which lekin
“ is thereto pledged, these additional taxes shall be allocated to the various Provinces
■“'to make up deficiencies and replace revenue, in order that no hardships may be
“ entailed on them. With a view to preserving the original intention underlying the
“ proposal to increase the duties in compensation for the loss of ; revenue derived from
“lehin and other imposts on goods, it is further stipulated that the surtaxes shall not
“ be appropriated for other purposes, shall not form part of the Imperial Maritime
“ Customs revenue proper, and shall in no case be pledged as security for any new
“ foreign loan.
“It is therefore necessary to memorialize for the issue of an Edict, giving effect
“ to the above stipulations and directing the Board of Revenue to find out what
“ proportion of the provincial revenues derived from lekin of all kinds, now about
“ to be abolished, each Province has hitherto had to remit, and what proportion it
“ has been entitled to retain, so that, when the Article coihes into operation, due
,“ apportionment may be made accordingly, thus protiding the Provinces with funds
“available for local expenditure and displaying equitable and just treatment towards
“all.”
On the 1st instant an Imperial Decree “ Let action, as requested, be taken,”
was issued, and we now do ourselves the honour- reverently to transcribe the same
for your information.
Annex B—(2)
Shanghai, September 5th, 1902.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch of the 2nd instant
forwarding the text of the Memorial and Decree dealing with the disposal of the
surtaxes.
I understand that the surtaxes in addition to not being pledged for any new
foreign loan are not to be pledged to, or held to be security for, liabilities already
r contracted by China except in so far as lekin revenue has already been pledged to an
existing loan.
I also understand from the Memorial that the whole of the surtaxes provided by
Article VIII. of the New Treaty goes to the Provinces in proportions to be agreed
upon between them and the Board of Revenue, but that out of these surtaxes each
Province is obliged to remit to Peking the same contribution as that which it has
hitherto remitted out of its lekin collections, and that the Provinces also provide as
hitherto out of these surtaxes whatever funds may be necessary for the service of the
foreign loan to which lekin is partly pledged.
I hope Your Excellencies will send me a reply to this despatch and that you will
agree to this correspondence forming part of the Treaty as an Annex.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,

We have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of to-day’s
date with regard to the allocation of the surtax funds allotted to the Provinces, and to
inform you that the views therein expressed are the same as our own.
We would, however, wish to point out that, were the whole amount of the alloca-
tion due paid over to the Provinces, unnecessary expense would be incurred in the
retransmission by them of such portions thereof as would have to be remitted to
Peking in place of the contributions hitherto payable out of lekin revenue. The
amount, therefore, of the allocation due to the Provinces, arranged between them and
the Board of Revenue, will be retained in the hands of the Maritime Customs, who
will await the instructions of the Provinces in regard to the remittance of such
portion thereof as may be necessary to fulfil their obligations, and (on receipt of
these instructions) will send forward the amount direct. The balance will be held
to the order of the Provinces.
In so far as lekin is pledged to the service of the 1898 loan, a similar method of
procedure will be adopted.
As you request that this correspondence be annexed to the Treaty, we have the
honour to state that we see no objection to this being done.

carry on their business ; but British merchants may visit these places from time to1
time to look after their affairs. The existing rights of Chinese jurisdiction over
Chinese subjects shall not by reason of this clause be diminished or interfered with
m any way.
Steam vessels navigating the inland waterways of China shall be responsible
for loss caused to riparian proprietors by damage which they may do to the banks
THE BRITISH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA 15
or works on them and for the loss which may be caused by such damage. In the
event of China desiring to prohibit the use of some particular shallow waterway by-
launches, because there is reason to fear that the use of it by them would be likely
to injure the banks and cause damage to the adjoining country, the British
authorities, when appealed to, shall, if satisfied of the validity of the objection,
prohibit the use of that waterway by British launches, provided that Chinese
launches are also prohibited from using it.
Both Foreign and Chinese launches are prohibited from crossing dams and weirs
at present in existence on inland waterways where they are likely to cause injury to
I such works, which would be detrimental to the water service of the local people.
5. —The main object of the British Government in desiring to see the
| waterways of China opened to steam navigation being to afford facilities for the rapid
transport of both foreign and native merchandise, they undertake to offer no impedi-
ment to the transfer to a Chinese company and the Chinese flag of any British
steamer which may now or hereafter be employed on the inland waters of China
should the owner be willing to make the transfer.
In event of a Chinese company registered under Chinese law being formed to run
steamers on the inland waters of China the fact of British subjects holding shares in
such a company shall not entitle the steamers to fly the British flag.
6. —Registered steamers and their tows are forbidden, just as junks have
been forbidden, to carry contraband goods. Infraction of this rule will entail the
penalties prescribed in the Treaties for such an offence, and cancellation of the Inland
Waters Navigation Certificate carried by the vessels, which will be prohibited from
thereafter plying on inland waters.
7. —As it is desirable that the people living inland should be disturbed a
as possible by the advent of steam vessels to which they are not accustomed, inland
waters not hitherto frequented by steamers shall be opened as gradually as may be
I convenient to merchants and only as the owners of steamers may see prospects of
remunerative trade.
In cases where it is intended to run steam vessels on waterways on which such
vessels have not hitherto run, intimation shall be made to the Commissioner of
Customs at the nearest open port who shall report the matter to the Ministers of
Commerce. The latter, in conjunction with the Governor-General or Governor of
the Province, after careful consideration of all the circumstances of the case, shall at
once give their approval.
8. —A registered steamer may ply within the waters of a port, or from on
port or ports to another open port or ports, or from one open port or ports of
places inland, and thence back to such port or ports. She may, on making due
report to the Customs, land or ship passengers or cargo at any recognised places of
trade passed in the course of the voyage; but may not ply between inland places
exclusively except with the consent of the Chinese Government.
9. —Any cargo and passenger boats may be towed by steamers. The he
and crew of any boat towed shall be Chinese. All boats, irrespective of ownership,
must be registered before they can proceed inland.
10. —These Rules are supplementary to the Inland Steam Navigation R
of July and September, 1898. The latter, where untouched by the present Rules,
remain in full force and effect; but the present Rules hold in the case of such of the
former Regulations as the present Rules affect. The present Rules, and the
( Regulations of July and September, 1898, to which they are supplementary, are
I provisional and may be modified, as circumstances require, by mutual consent.

1. —Within forty-eight hours (exclusive of Sundays and holidays) after the
arrival of a British ship in a Korean port, the master shall deliver to the Korean
Customs authorities the receipt of the British Consul showing that he has deposited
the ship’s papers at the British Consulate, and he shall then make an entry of this
ship by handing in a written paper stating the name of the ship, of the port from
which she comes, of her master, the number, and, if required, the names of her
passengers, her tonnage, and the number of her crew, which paper shall be certified
by the master to be a true statement, and shall be signed by him. He shall, at the
same time, deposit a written manifest of his cargo, setting forth the marks and
numbers of the packages and their contents as they are described in the bills of
lading, with the names of the persons to whom they are consigned. The master shall
certify that this description is correct, and shall sign his name to the same. When
a vessel has been duly entered, the Customs authorities will issue a. permit to open
hatches, which shall be exhibited to the Customs officer on board. Breaking bulk
without having obtained such permission will render the master liable to a fine not
exceeding one hundred Mexican Dollars.
-
If any error is discovered in the manifest, it may be corrected within twenty-
four hours (exclusive of Sundays and holidays) of its being handed in. without the
payment of any fee ; but for alteration or post entry to the manifest made after
that time a fee of Five Mexican Dollars shall be paid.
3. —Any master who shall neglect to enter his vessel at the
within the time fixed by this Eegulation shall pay a penalty not exceeding Fifty
Mexican Dollars for every twenty-four hours that he shall so neglect to enter his ship.
4. —Any British vessel which remains in port for less th
(exclusive of Sundays and holidays) and does not open her hatches, also any vessel
driven into port by stress of weather, or only in want of supplies, shall not be required
to enter or pay tonnage dues so long as such vessel does not engage in trade.
o.—When the master of a vessel wishes to clear, he shall hand in to the Customs
authorities.an export manifest containing similar particulars to those given in the
import manifest. The Customs authorities will then issue a clearance certificate and
return the Consul’s receipt for the ship’s papers. These documents must be handed
into the Consulate before the ship’s papers are returned to the master.
6.—Should any ship leave the port without clearing outwards in the manner
above prescribed, the piaster shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding Two Hundred
Mexican Dollars.
British steamers may enter and clear on the same day, and they shall not be
required to hand in a manifest except for such goods as are to be landed or transhipped
at the port of entry.

II.—Landing and Shipping Cargo and Payment of Duties
1. —The importer of any goods who desires to land them shall make and
application to that effect at the Cnstom-house, stating his own name, the name of the
ship in which the goods have been imported, the marks, numbers, and contents of the
packages and their values, and declaring that this statement is correct. The Customs
authorities may demand the production of the invoice of each consignment of
merchandise. If it is not produced, or if its absence is not satisfactorily accounted for
the owner shall be allowed to land his goods on payment of double the Tariff duty,
but the surplus duty sd levied shall be refunded on the production of the invoice.
2. —All goods so entered may be examined by the Customs officers of th
appointed for the purpose. Such examination shall be made without delay or injury
to the merchandise, and the packages shall be at once re-sorted by the Customs
authorities to their original condition, in so far as may be practicable.
3. —Should the Customs authorities consider the value of any goods p

upon him to pay duty on the value determined by an appraisement to be made by the
Customs appraiser. But should the importer or exporter be dissatisfied with that
appraisement, he shall within twenty-four hours (exclusive of Sundays and holidays)
state his reasons for such dissatisfaction to the Commissioner of Customs, and shall
appoint an appraiser of his own to make a re-appraisement. He shall then declare'
the value of the goods as determined by such re-appraisement. The Commissioner
of Customs will thereupon, a,t his option, either assess the duty on the value deter-
mined by this re-appraisement, or will purchase the goods from the importer or
exporter at the price thus determined, with the addition of five per cent. In the
latter case the purchase money shall be paid to the importer or exporter within five
days from the date on which he has declared the value determined by his own
appraiser.
4. —Upon all goods damaged on the voyage of importation a fair red
duty shall be allowed, proportionate to their deterioration. If any disputes arise as
to the amount of such reduction, they shall be settled in the manner pointed out in
the preceding clause.
5. —All goods intended to be exported shall be entered at the Korean
house before they are shipped. The application to ship shall be made in writing, and
shall state the name of the vessel by which the goods are to be exported, the marks
and number of the packages, and the quantity, description, and value of the contents.
The exporter shall certify in writing that the application gives a true account of all
the goods contained therein, and shall sign his name thereto.
6. —No goods shall be landed or shipped at other places than those fix
Korean Customs authorities, or between the hours of sunset and sunrise, or on Sundays
or holidays, without the special permission of the Customs authorities, who will be
entitled to reasonable fees for the extra duty thus performed.
7. —Claims by importers or exporters for duties paid in excess, or by the
authorities for duties which have not been fully paid, shall be entertained only when
made within thirty days from the date of payment.
8. —No entry will be required in the case of provisions for the use o
ships, their crews and passengers, nor for the baggage of the latter which may be
landed or shipped at any time after examination by the Customs officers.

high contracting party has actually granted, or may hereafter grant, to the ships

unconditionally to the ships or subjects of the other high contracting party, it
being their intention that the commerce, navigation, and industry of each country
shall be placed in all respects on the footing of the most favoured nation.
Art. XXV.—The stipulations of this Treaty do not apply to tariff concessions
granted by either of the high contracting parties to contiguous States solely to
facilitate frontier traffic within a limited zone on each side of the frontier, or to the
treatment accorded to the produce of the national fisheries of the high contracting
parties or to special tariff favours granted by Japan in regard to fish and other
aquatic products taken in the foreign waters in the vicinity of Japan.
Art. XXVI.—The stipulations of the present Treaty shall not be applicable to any
of His Britannic Majesty’s Dominions, Colonies, Possessions, or Protectorates beyond

sentative at Tokyo before the expiration of two years from the date of the exchange
of the ratifications of the present Treaty.
Art. XXVII.—The present Treaty shall be ratified, and the ratifications exchanged

tracting parties shall have given notice to the other, twelve months before the ex-
piration of the said period, of its intention to terminate the Treaty, it shall continue
operative until the expiration of one year from the date on which either of the high,
contracting parties shall have denounced it.

WASHINGTON CONFERENCE RESOLUTIONS
THE QUADRUPLE ALLIANCE
OFFICIAL TEXT
At the fourth plenary session of the Conference on Limitation of Armaments
held on December 10th, 1921, Senator Lodge made public the following draft of a
treaty and accompanying reservations:—
The United States of America, the British Empire, France and Japan, with
a view to the preservation of the general peace and the maintenance of their
rights in relation to their insular possessions and insular dominions in the
regions of the Pacific Ocean, have determined to conclude a treaty to this effect
and have appointed as their plenipotentiaries :—
The President of the United States
His Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, and of the British Dominions beyond the seas, Emperor of
India
And
For the Dominion of Canada ——
For the Commonwealth of Australia——
For the Dominion of New Zealand——
For India
The President of the French Republic——
His Majesty the Emperor of Japan
Who, having communicated their full powers found in good and due form, have
agreed as follows
Article I.—The high contracting parties agree as between themselves to
respect their rights in relation to their insular possessions and insular dominions in
the region of the Pacific Ocean. If there should develop between any of the
high contracting parties a controversy arising put of any Pacific question and
involving their said rights, which is not satisfactorily settled by diplomacy and is
likely to affect the harmonious accord now happily subsisting between them, they
shall invite the other high contracting parties to a joint conference to which the
whole subject will be referred for consideration and adjustment.
Article II. —If the said rights are threatened by the aggressive action of any
other Power, the high contracting parties shall communicate with one another
fully and frankly in order to arrive at an understanding as to the most efficient
measures to be jointly or separately taken to meet the particular situation.
Article III.—This Agreement shall remain in force for ten years from the
time it shall take effect, and after the expiration of said period it shall continue to
be in force subject to the right of any of the high contracting parties to terminate
it upon twelve months’ notice.
Article IY.—This Agreement shall be ratified as soon as possible in accord-
ance with the constitutional methods of the high contracting parties and shall
take effect on the deposit of ratifications, which shall take place at Washington,
and thereupon the Agreement between Great Britain and Japan which was con-
cluded at London on July 13th, 1911, shall terminate.
Reservations.—The signing of this Treaty is on the part of the United States
subject to (reservations affecting) the island of Yap and what are termed the
Mandate Islands in the Pacific Ocean, north of the Equator, the negotiations in
regard to which are almost concluded, and also the reservations with respect to
what are termed the Mandate Islands in the Pacific Ocean south of the Equator.
*2
36 WASHINGTON CONFERENCE RESOLUTIONS ; v ,
It should also be observed that the controversies to which the proposed Treaty refers
do not include questions which, according to the principles of international law,
lie exclusively within the domestic jurisdiction of the respective Powers.
In the course of his address, Senator Lodge stated : “To put it in a few words,;
the Treaty provides that the four signatory Powers will agree between themselves;
in regard to their insular possessions and dominions in the region of the Pacific,>
and that if any controversy should arise as to such rights all the high contracting
parties shall be invited to a joint conference looking to the adjustment of such
controversy. They agree to take similar action in the rase of aggression by any
other Power upon these insular possessions or dominions. This Agreement is t;>'
remain in force for ten years, and, after ratification under the constitutional
methods of the high contracting parties, the existing agreement between Great
Britain and Japan, which was concluded at London on July 13, 1911, shall
terminate. Each signer is bound to respect the rights of the others, and before
taking action in any controversy to consult with them. There is no provision for
the use of force to carry out any of the terms of the Agreement, and no military ovl
naval stations lurk anywhere in the background or under cover of these plain and?
direct clauses. The surest way to prevent war is to remove the cause of war.':
This is an attempt to remove the cause of war over a great area of the globe’s)
surface by reliance upon the good faith and honest intentions of the nations which!
signed this Treaty solving all differences through a process of diplomacy and joint]
consideration and conciliation.
TERRITORIAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE INTEGRITY OF CHINA
The Far Eastern Committee of the Conference unanimously adopted a resolu-!
tion declaring in favour of the territorial and administrative integrity of China. 1
The resolution, which was drafted and presented by Senator Root, was signed by]
eight Powers, China refraining from appending her signature as being unfitting!
in a document regarding herself.
Following is the text of the resolution It is the firm intention of tiqi
Powers attending the Conference, firstly, to respect the sovereignty, independence;
and territorial and administrative integrity of China; secondly, to provide the fullest,);
unembarrassed opportunity for China to develop and to maintain an effective and
stable Government; thirdly, to use their influence for the purpose of effectively)
establishing and maintaining the principle of equal opportunity for commerce and
industry to all nations throughout Chinese territory; fourthly, to refrain from taking;
advantage of present conditions in order to seek special rights and privileges)
abridging the rights of subjects of friendly States, and also to refrain from!
countenancing any action inimical to the security of such States.”
The Far Eastern Committee passed a resolution, suggested by Sir Auckland!
Geddes, under which the Powers attending the Conference declared their inten-
tion “ not to enter into any treaty, agreement, arrangement, or understanding with:
one another, or individually or collectively with any Power or Powers, which:
infringes or impairs the principles declared “by the resolution adopted by the Com-:
mittee on the 21st ult.” (i.e., Senator Root’s resolution declaring for the territorial
and administrative integrity of China).
WASHINGTON CONFERENCE RESOLUTIONS
FOREIGN POST OFFICES IN CHINA
Representatives of the nine Powers sitting as a Committee on the Pacific and
Far Eastern questions adopted a resolution in favour of the relinquishment of
Foreign post-office privileges in China. All the Powers agreed upon January 1st,1923,
as the date of relinquishment.
The text of the resolution is:— “ Recognising the justice of the desire expressed
by the Chinese Government to secure the abolition of foreign postal agencies in
China, save or except in leased territories or otherwise specifically provided for by
treaty, it is resolved:
“I:—That the four Powers having such postal agencies agree to their
abandonment, subject to the following conditions : First, that an efficient Chinese
postal service be maintained; second, that an assurance be given by the Chinese
Government that they contemplate no change in the present postal administration
as far as the status of the foreign Co-Director-General is concerned.
“ II:—To enable China and the Powers concerned to make the necessary
dispositions this arrangement shall come into force not later than (date blank).
Pending the complete withdrawal of foreign postal agencies the four Powers concerned
severally undertake to afford full facilities to the Chinese Customs authorities to
examine all postal matter (except ordinary letters, whether registered or not, which
upon external examination appear to contain written matter) passing through with a
view to ascertaining whether they contain articles of dutiable contraband or other-
wise contravening the Customs regulations and laws of China.”
EXTRA-TERRITORIAL RIGHTS IN CHINA
A resolution was unanimously adopted by the Far Eastern Committee relative to
the Extra-Territorial Question. It provides that the Powers concerned shall establish
a Commission, to which each shall appoint a member, to enquire into the present
practice of extra-territorial jurisdiction in China, and into the laws, the judicial system
and methods of judicial administration, with a view to reporting findings of fact, with
recommendations regarding the means to improve the existing conditions of adminis-
tration of justice in China and to assist the efforts of the Chinese Government to
effect such legislation and judicial reforms as will warrant the Powers in relinquishing
progressively or otherwise their rights of extra-territoriality.
The Commission shall be constituted within three months after the adjournment
of the Conference, and be instructed to submit its report and recommendations within
a year after the Commission’s first meeting. Each of the Powers shall be deemed free
to accept or reject all or any portion of the recommendations, but in no case are any
of the Powers to make acceptance directly or indirectly dependent on China’s granting
any special concession, favour, benefit, or immunity, whether political or economic.
An additional resolution provides that non-signatory Powers having extra-terri-
torial rights in China may accede to the resolution in regard to extra-territoriality
within three months after the adjournment of the Conference.
A further additional resolution expresses China’s satisfaction with the sympathy
of the Powers in regard to the abolition of extra-territoriality, and declares China’s
intention to appoint a Chinese member of the Extra-Territoriality Commission, it
being understood that China is free to accept or reject any or all of the recommenda-
tions of the Commission. China is prepared to co-operate in the work of the
Commission and in every way to facilitate the successful accomplishment of its task.

RADIO STATIONS IN CHINA
A report was submitted by the Sub-Committee on Drafting relating to radio'
stations for China which states that representatives of the nine Powers at the,
Conference decided that all radio stations in China, whether maintained under the-
provisions of the International Protocol of September, 1901, or, in fact maintained
on the grounds of any of the foreign Legations in China, shall be limited in use to
sending and receiving Government messages and shall not receive or send commercial,]
personal, or unofficial messages, including Press matter.
It is provided, however, that in case all other telegraphic communication is inter-
rupted, then, upon official notification, accompanied by proof of such interruption, to
the Chinese Ministry of Communications such stations may afford temporary facilities
for messages excluded as before-mentioned until the Chinese Government notify the
termination of the interruption.
All radio stations on Chinese territory operated by foreign Governments’ sub- ]
jects under treaties or concessions shall limit the messages sent or received by the I
terms of the treaty or concession under which the respective stations are maintained.;
Any radio station maintained without the authority of the Chinese Government shall i
be transferred to China to be operated under the direction of the Chinese Ministry of j
Communications, against compensation to the owners for the value of the installation, ]
as soon as the Ministry is prepared, to operate the same effectively for general public ]
benefit. Should any question arise regarding radio stations in leased territories, j
the South Manchuria railway zone, or the French Concession in Shanghai they
shall be regarded as matters for discussion between the Chinese Government and the
Governments concerned. Owners or managers of all foreign radio stations shall!

their respective nations in seeking :
(a) Any arrangement which might purport to establish in favour of their
interests any general superiority of rights with respect to commercial or economic
development, in any designated region in China.
(b) Any such monopoly or preference as would deprive the nationals of any
other Power of the right of undertaking any legitimate trade or industry in
China, or of participating with the Chinese Government or with any local authority
in any category of public enterprise, or which by reason of its scope, duration or
geographical extent is calculated to frustrate the practical application of the
principle of equal opportunity.

not to be so construed as to prohibit the acquisition of such properties or rights as
may be necessary to the conduct of a particular commercial, industrial or financial
undertaking or to the encouragement of invention and research.

stipulations of this article in dealing with applications for economic rights and
privileges from Governments and nationals of all foreign countries, whether parties

50 TREATY BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND SIAM
Annex . 3
Mr. Puget to Prince Devawongse
M. le Ministre, March 10, 1900.
In view of the position of British possessions in the Malay Peninsula and of the '
contiguity of the Siamese Malay provinces with British-protected territory, His ,
Majesty’s Q-overnment are desirous of receiving an assurance that the Siamese i
Government will not permit any danger to arise to British interests through the use
of any portion of the Siamese dominions in the peninsula for military or naval
purposes by foreign Powers. .!
His Majesty’s Government would therefore request that the Siamese Govern- j
ment shall not cede of lease, directly or indirectly, to any foreign Governnient any
territory situated in the Malay Peninsula south of the southern boundary of the
Monthon Rajaburi, or in any of the islands adjacent to the said territory ; also that
within the limits above mentioned a right to establish or lease any coaling station, to
build or own any construction or repairing docks, or to occupy exclusively any harbours, j
the occupation of which would be likely to be prejudicial to British interests from a 1
strategic point of view, shall not be granted to any foreign Government or Company, i
Since this assurance is desired as a matter of political expediency only, the
phrase “coaling station” would not be held to include such small deposits of coal as
may be required for the purposes of the ordinary shipping engaged in the Malay •
Peninsula coasting trade.
Prince Bevmvongse to Mr. Paget
M. le Ministre, Foreign Office, Bangkok, March 10, 1909. )
I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your note of this date, in which
you express the desire of your Government that the Siamese Government shall not
cede or lease, directly or indirectly, to any foreign Government any territory situated .
in the Malay Peninsula south of the southern boundary of the Monthon Rajaburi
or in any of the islands adjacent to the said territory; also that within the limits J
above-mentioned a right to establish or lease any coaling station, to build or own any '
construction or repairing docks, or to occupy exclusively any harbours, the occupation
of which would be likely to be prejudicial to British interests from a strate eric point
of view, shall not be granted to any foreign Government or company.
In reply, I beg to say that the Siamese Government gives its assurance to the ,
above effect, taking note that the phrase “coaling station” shall not include such
small deposits of coal as may be required for the purposes of the ordinarv shipping
engaged in the Malay Peninsula coasting trade.
(Signed) Devawongse Varopkakar.
Prince Devawongse to Mr. Paget
M. le Ministre, Foreign Office, Bangkok, March 10, I9t>9. j
With reference to the provision contained in Article IV. of the Jurisdiction ;
Protocol to the effect that in all cases in which a British subject is defendant or !
accused a European adviser shall sit in Court, I would express the hope, on behalf of ;
His Majesty’s Government, that His Britannic Majesty’s Government will be prepared i
in due course to consider the question of a modification of or release from this guarantee when it shall be no longer needed; and, moreover, that in any negotiations ■
in connection with such a modification or release the matter may be treated upon its l
merits alone, and not as a consideration for which some other return should be expected.
The Siamese Government appreciates that a Treaty like the one signed to-day i
marks an advance in the administration of justice in the kingdom. The conclusioiit (
of such a Treaty is in itself a sign of progress. It is the intention of the Siamese
Government to maintain the high standard in the administration of justice which it \
has set before it, and towards which it has been working for some time.
In this connection I take pleasure in acknowledging the contribution which Mr.
J. Stewart Black has made to this work.
TREATY BETWEEN UNITED KINGDOM AND SIAM 51
I wish also to ,say that provision will be made for the treatment of European
! msoners according to the standard usual for such prisoners in Burmah and the
■ Straits Settlements.
(Signed) Devawongse Varoprakar.
Mr. Paget to Prince Devawongse
M. le Ministre, March 10, 1909.
With reference to the guarantee contained in the first paragraph of Article IV. of
the Jurisdiction Protocol, I have the honour to state that His Majesty’s Government
| will be prepared in due course to consider the question of modification of or release
from this guarantee when it shall no longer be needed. His Majesty’s Government
are also willing that in any negotiations in connection with such a modification or
release the matter shall be treated upon its merits alone, and not as a consideration
j for which some other return shall be expected.
His Majesty’s Government learn with much satisfaction that it is the intention
of the Siamese Government to maintain the high standard in the administration of
justice which it has set before it, and towards which it has been working for some
time ; and I may assure your Royal Highness that it will be the aim of His Majesty’s
Government in every manner to second the efforts of His Siamese Majesty’s Govern-
ment in this direction. •
I wish also to say that the International Courts referred to in Section 1 of the
Protocol on Jurisdiction annexed to the Treaty signed to-day need not necessarily be
Courts specially organized for this purpose. Provincial (“Monthon”) Courts or
District (“ Muang”) Courts may constitute International Courts, according as British
subjects may be established in greater or less number within the jurisdiction of those
Courts. The fact that an ordinary Court is designated as an International Court will
have as a consequence the introduction into that ordinary Court of all the provisions
relating to International Courts secured by the Protocol on Jurisdiction.

iitates but also Japan, the British Empire and all the Governments which
participated with France and Great Britain in the Locarno agreements, namely,
pelgium, Czecho-SJovakia, Germany, Italy, and Poland. This procedure met
i|he point raised by the British Government in its note of May 19, IGES, where
t stated that the treaty from its very nature was not one. which concerned that
Government alone but was one in which that Government could not undertake
o participate otherwise than jointly and simultaneously with the Government
n the Dominions and the Government of India; it also settled satisfactorily
•he question whether there was any inconsistency between the new treaty and
he treaties of Locarno, thus meeting the observations of the French Govern-
nent as to the necessity of extending the number of original signatories.
The decision to limit the original signatories to the Powers named above,,
hat is, to the United States, Japan, the parties to the (Locarno treaties, the
Iritish (Dominions, and India was based entirely upon practical considerations.
It was the desire of the United States that the negotiations be successfully con-
iluded at the earliest possible moment and that the treaty become operative
vithout the delay that would inevitably result were prior universal acceptance
nade a condition precedent to its coming into force. My Government felt,
noreover, that if these Powers could agreed upon a simple renunciation of
var as an instrumtnt of national policy, there could be no doubt that most if
lot all the other Powers of the world would find the formula equally acceptable
md would hasten to lend their unqualified support to so impressive a move
nent for the perpetuation of peace. The United States has. however, been
anxious from the beginning that no state should feel deprived of an opport-
mity to participate promptly in the new treaty and thus not only align
!tself formally and solemnly with this new manifestation of the popular demand
or world peace but also avail itself of the identical benefits enjoyed by the
)riginal signatories Accordingly, in the draft treaty proposed by it. the
United States made specific provision for participation in the treaty by any
md every Power desiring to identify itself therewith and this same provision
is found in the definitive instrument signed to-day in Paris. It will also be
observed that the Powers signing the treaty have recorded in the preamble-
;heir hope that every nation of the world will participate in the treaty and
In that connection I am happy to be able to report that my Government has
already received from several Governments informal indications that they are
orepared to do so at the earliest possible moment. This cbnvincing evidence
of the world, wide interest and sympathy which the new treaty has evoked is
most gratifying to all the Governments concerned.
In these circumstances I have the honour formally to. communicate to
Your Excellency for your consideration, and for the approval of your Gov-

tiie farther expressed the desire that jurisdiction
of extraterritorial the United
ver its citizens in China and the hope that the American Government will
ake this desire into immediate and sympathetic consideration.
I am directed by my Government to state that it is prepared to give
ympathetic consideration to the desires expressed by the Chinese Govern-
nent, giving at the same time, as it must, due consideration to the responsi-
nlities which rest upon the Government of the United States' in connection
138 EXTRATERRITORIALITY
with the problem of jurisdiction over the persons and property of American
citizens in China. My Government, has, in fact, for some time past given
constant and sympathetic consideration to the national aspirations of the
people of China, and it has repeatedly given concrete evidence of its desire
to promote the realization of these aspirations in so far as action of the
United States may contribute to that result. As long ago as the year 1903,
in Article 15 of the Treaty concluded in that year between the United States]
and China, the American Government agreed that it would be prepared to;
relinquish the jurisdiction which it exercised over its nationals in China “when
satisfied that the state of the Chinese laws, the arrangements for their ad-<
ministration, and other considerations warrant it in so doing.” As recently
as last year, the American Government gave very definite evidence of its
desire to promote the realization of China’s aspirations by concluding with
the Government of China, on July 23, 1928, a Treaty by which the two countries;
agreed to cancellation of provisions in earlier treaties whereby China’s
authority in reference to Customs duties on goods imported into China by
American nationals had been restricted.
The exercise by the United States of jurisdiction over its citizens in
China had its genesis in an early agreement that, because of differences be-
tween the customs of the two countries and peoples, and differences between
their judicial systems, it would be wise to place upon the American Govern-
ment the duty of extending to American nationals in China the restraints and
the benefits of the system of jurisprudence to which they and their fellow
nationals were accustomed in the United States.
My Government deems it proper at, this point to remind the Government
of China that this system of American jurisdiction as administered by the
extraterritorial courts has never been extended by the United States beyondi
the purposes to which it was by the Treaties originally limited. Those pur-1

accordance with the terms of the Treaties and with the knowledge and con

its sovereignty over any portion of the territory of China.
Under the provisions of the Treaty of 18i4, and other agreements concluded'
thereafter which established that system, American citizens have lived and
have carried on their legitimate enterprises in China with benefit both to the
Chinese and to themselves They hate engaged extensively in cultural and
in commercial enterprises involving large sums of money and extensive pro-
perties, and, as your Government has so graciously indicated in the Now
under acknowledgement, there has grown up and existed between the peoples'
and the Governments of the two countries a friendship that has endured.
The American Government believe that this condition of affairs has been duei
in large part to the manner in which the relations between the two peopb
have been reguiated under the provisions of these agreements, the existence)

EXTKATERRITORJAlLIT^ 139
My Government has instructed me to say that the statement of the
Minister of Foreign Affairs of China, telegraphed to the press of the United
<£ates on July 26th, to the effect that “all foreign interests in China purely
It legitimate purposes will be duly respected” has been noted by it with
jeasure as indicating that the Government of China has not failed to appre-
ate the value to its foreign relations of the factors above mentioned. My
avernment bids me add that it is therefore persuaded that the Government
China will concur in its belief based as it is upon the facts set forth in
cceeding paragraphs, that the sudden abolition of the system of protection
• its extraterritorial courts in the face of conditions prevailing in China
-day would in effect expose the property of American citizens to danger of
alawful seizure and place in jeopardy the liberty of the persons of American
tizens.
The Chinese Government has, on several occasions during recent years,
^pressed the desire that the Powers relinquish the exercise of extraterritorial
irisdiction over their citizens In the Note under acknowledgment reference
made to the position taken at the Washington Conference. It will be re-
plied that, in pursuance of the resolution adopted at that Conference, there
as created a Commission to inquire into the present practice of extraterri-
trial jurisdiction in China and into the laws and the judicial system and the
ethods of judicial administration of China, and that, under date of Sept-
nber 16, 1926, that Commission made its report. This report contained an
icount of the conditions then prevailing in the judicial system of China, as
ell as a number of recommendations carefully suggested as indicating the
langes and improvements which would be necessary before there would be
lequately developed a system of known law and an independent judiciary
ipable of justly controlling and protecting the lives and property of the
tizens of foreign countries doing business in China. Your Government will
jcall that* the Commission on Extraterritoriality which made these recom-
lendations was composed of representatives from thirteen countries including
ith China and the United States and that its recommendations thoughtfully
nd reasonably conceived were unanimously adopted and were signed by all
the Commissioners.
Because of its friendship for the Chinese people and its desire, to which
Husion has been already made, to relinquish as soon as possible extraterri-
>rial jurisdiction oyer its own citizens in China, my Government has followed
ith attentive consideration this entire subject, including particularly the
rogress which has been made in carrying out its recommendations since the
endition of this report.
It fully appreciates the efforts which are being made in China to assimilate
lose western judical principles to which your Government has referred in
is Note, but it would be lacking in sincerity and candour, as well as disre-
tardful of its obligations towards its own nationals, if it did not frankly point
!ut that the recommendations aforesaid have not been substantially carried out
nd that there does not exist in China to-day a system of independent Chinese
ourts free from extraneous influence which is capable of adequately doing
ustice between Chinese and foreign litigants. My Government believes that
ot until these recommendations are fulfilled in far greater measure than is
he case to-day will it be possible for American citizens safely to live and do
usiness in China and for their property adequately to be protected without
he intervention of the consular courts.
In conclusion, my Government has directed me to state that it observes
with attentive and sympathetic interest the changes which are taking place
n China. Animated as it is by the most friendly motives and wishing as
ar as lies within Government power to be helpful, the American Government
tvould be ready, if the suggestion should meet with the approval of the Chinese
Government, to participate in negotiations which would have as their object
he devising of a method for the gradual relinquishment of extraterritorial
rights, either as to designated territorial areas, or as to particular kinds of
EXTRATERRITORIALITY
jurisdiction, or as to both, provided, that such gradual relinquishment projj
needs at the same time as steps are taken and improvements are achieved by
the 'Chinese Government in the enactment and effective enforcement of laws;
based on modern concepts of jurisprudence.
I avail myself of this opportunity to extend to Your Excellency the rei
newed assurance of my highest consideration.

5. In particular the conception of international relations as, being inter-
course between equal and independent states—a conception which was woven
into the very texture of the political ideas of the nations of the West—wasjjl
entirely alien to Chinese modes of thought When traders of the West first
found their way to the coast of China, the Chinese Government found it diffi-;
cult to allow them freely to enter into their country and mingle with cheir !
people nor did they recognise that the nations to which they belonged were*
the equals of China. These traders were therefore confined to a small section]
of a single city in one corner of the Empire and while on the one hand they ‘
were subjected to many disabilities and to grave humiliations on the other]
hand, by a species of amorphous and unregulated extraterritoriality which-
was the natural outcome of these conditions, the responsibility of managing i
their own affairs and maintaining order amongst themselves was in some
measure left to their own initiative.

I 7, The object of the first treaties w as to secure recognition by China of
£jrreat Britain's equality with herself and to define and regulate the extrater-
ritorial status of British subjects. Belations between the two countries having
fius been placed on a footing of equality and mutual respect, Great Britain
vas content that her nationals should continue to bear those responsibilities
md to labour under those disabilities which respect for the sovereignty of
>hina entailed upon them. Conditions did not permit the general opening of
he interior of China and the residence of foreigners has consequently continued
lown to the present day to be restricted to a limited number of cities known
is Treaty Ports.
6. His Majesty’s Government recognise the defects and inconveniences
)f the system of consular jurisdiction to which the Government of China have
m various occasions drawn attention. In 1902 in Article 12 of the Treaty
if Obmmerce between Great Britain and China signed in that year, His
Majesty’s Government stated their readiness to relinquish their extraterritorial
fights when they were satisfied that the state of Chinese laws the arrangements
for their administration and other considerations warranted them in so doing.
They have since watched with appreciation the progress which China has
made in the assimilation of western legal principals to which reference is made
in your Note under reply and they have observed with deep interest the facts
set out and recommendations made in the report of the Commission on Ex-
traterritoriality in the year 1926.
9. More recently in the declaration w'hich they published in (December
1926 and the proposals which they made to the Chinese authorities in January
1927 His Majesty’s Government have given concrete evidence of their desire to
meet in a spirit of friendship and sympathy the legitimate aspirations of the
Chinese people. They have already travelled some distance along the road
marked out in those documents and they are willing to examine in collabora-
tion with the Chinese Government the whole problem of extraterritorial juris
diction with a view to ascertaining what further steps in the same direction
it may be possible to take at the present time.
10. His Majesty’s Government would however observe that the promulga-
tion of codes embodying Western legal principles represents only one portion
of the task to be accomplished before it would be safe to abandon in their
entirety the special arrangements wdiich have hitherto regulated the residence
of foreigners in China. In order that those reforms should become a living
reality it appears to His Majesty’s Government to be necessary that Western
legal principles should be understood and be found acceptable by the people at
large, no less than by their rulers, and that the Courts which administer these
law's should be free from interference and dictation at the hands, not only of
military chiefs, but of groups and associations who either set up arbitrary
and illegal tribunals of their own or attempt to use legal courts for the fur-
therance of political

which it would be impossible to give effect in practice. Any attempt prema-
turely to accord such privileges would not only be of no benefit to British mer-
chants but might involve the Government and people of China in political
and economic difficulties
11. So long as these conditions subsist there appears to be no practicable
alternative to maintaining though perhaps in a modified form the Treaty Port
system that has served for nearly a century to regulate intercourse between
China and British subjects with her domain. Some system of extraterri-
toriality is the natural corollary for the maintenance of the Treaty Port sys-

FRENCH REPLY.
The following is the English translation of the reply of the French Gov-
ernment to China’s Note concerning the abolition of extraterritoriality:
Monsieur le Ministre, August 10, 1829.
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the note dated April 27
in which you express the hope that the French Government would take inta
immediate and favourable consideration the desire of the Chinese Government
to be enabled to exercise its jurisdiction over all nationals residing in China.
Having taken note of this communication which has been the object of its
careful attention, the French Government authorizes me to recall to Your Ex-
cellency that during the Washington Conference it gave voluntarily it® approval
to the resolution of December 10, 1921, according to the terms of which an
international Commission was established to study the question of extraterri-
toriality in China.
This Commission, in its report of September 16, 1926, made recommenda-
tions the application of which, might, in its judgment, permit the Powers
to relinquish extraterritoriality.
Faking into consideration the facts stated by the said Commission the
French Government considers that, in order to realize the conditions favourable
for the renunciation of extraterritorial rights enjoyed by its nationals in
virtue of the treaty of 1353, it is indispensable that'the Chinese Government
proceed to the reform of its laws, its judicial institutions and its method
of judicial administration, in conformity with the recommendations of the
Commission recommendations to which the Chinese Delegate has given his
approval. It is when these reforms have been carried out and effectively put
into practicethethat

the relinquishment

The French Government, animated by the friendly feelings which it was
always cherished^towards the Chinese people and of which another proof was
given last year by The signing of the Tariff Autonomy Treaty, has no doubt
that the Chinese Government will make every effort to fulfill the conditions
necessary to the examination of the problem of extraterritoriality
It is m this spirit that the French Government, faithful to its liberal
traditions, has authorized me to give you assurance that it will continue to

Rake an active interest in the reforms to that end which remain to be acconr
blished and that it will carefully note all the facte which tend to show that
*i:;hese reforms are effectively carried out in the administration and judicial
tpractioe of the Government authorities and the people of China.
On the other hand, the French Government will not fail to avail itself
|of the opportunities as they arise to co-operate profitably with Chinese authori-
»ibies in the endeavour to hasten a state of affairs which would permit it to
maodify with the necessary guarantees the present jurisdictional status of the
t'Erench nationals in China.
THE NETHERLANDS’ REPLY.
The following is the English translation of the reply of the Netherlands
^Government to China’s note concerning the abolition of extraterritoriality.
Legation des Pays-Bas,
Peking, Aug. 10. 1929.
IMonsieur le Ministre,
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency’s Note of
|April 27 last in which the Chinese Government expresses the hope that Her
IMajesty’s Government would take into sympathetic consideration the desire
ffof China to come to an agreement by which the limitation on China’s jurisdic-
Mtional sovereignty will be removed and which will enable the Chinese Govern-
oment to assume jurisdiction over all nationals within its domain.
Your Excellency expressed the conviction that the reciprocal advantages
resulting from the tariff convention recently concluded between our two
countries would be considerably enhanced if the relations between our two
countries were regulated on the basis of equality in matters of jurisdiction,
and that by the abolition of the system of consular jurisdiction an obstacle
would be removed for the full co-operation between the Chinese people and
foreign nationals especially in commercial matters; the desire of the Chinese
;Government for promotig the material interests of all who choose to associate
themselves with the 'Chinese people would in that case find its early realization.
Her Majesty’s Government has given this request its most careful consi-
deration, and now instructs me to inform Your Excellency that just as it
was happy to join the other powers in bringing about the Resolution adopted
on Oeoember 10th 1921 by the Washington Conference on the (Limitation of
Armaments, which placed on record its sympathetic disposition towards China’s
aspiration, so it will be pleased to co-operte with these Powers and with
China for the realization and fulfilment of China’s desire with regard to the
question of jurisdiction.
It may here be recalled that with this end in view Her Majest’s Govern-
ment wholeheartedly participated in the work of the International Commission
which was instituted as a result of the above-mentioned Resolution and which
jdrew up a number of valuable recommendations for the benefit of the Chinese
Government.
It cannot be gainsaid that there exists a close relationship between the
internal situation of China, the guarantees which the laws offer to foreign
rights and interests and their administration in the whole of China on the one
hand, and the measure of progress which it will be possible to make on the road
to abolition of the special arrangements now in force with regard to foreigners
on the other. The possibility for Netherlands subjects to enjoy liberty of trade,
of residence and of the exercise of civil rights including that of owing property
throughout the whole of China is in the same way closely connected with the
degree of security existing in the interior of the country and with the question
of what safeguards the Chinese judicial institutions offer with a view to their
independence and their immunity from interference by military and political
authorities.
144 E X TEAT E ER1T0EI AiL IT Y
T am desired by Her Majesty’s Government to assure with Excellency
of its unalterable sympathy towards China with regard to this question and
of its readiness when the introduction and the effective acceptance by the
country of modern institutions guaranteeing the administration of just laws
oy an independent and unassailable judiciary will have rendered useful re-
forms possible in the matter of jurisdiction over Netherlands nationals, to
act in unison with the Governments of the Powers who were represented at the
Conference of Washington with the object object of examining the possibility
of meeting the aspiration to which the Chinese Delegation at the said Con-
ference gave expression and which is reiterated in Your Excellency’s Note
under reply.

CHINESE REPLY TO AMERICA.
Nanking, September 5, 1G28.
.bnsieur 1c M,inistre:
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency’s Note
i August 10th in which you are good enough to transmit to me the views
f your Government in regard to the request of the Chinese Government, con-
fined in my Note of April 27, for the removal of restrictions on China’s juris-
ictional sovereignty.
The Chinese Government is pleased to be reminded by the American Gov-
rnment that it has, for some time past, given constant and sympathetic con-
ideration to the. national aspirations of the people of China and that it
as repeatedly given concrete evidence of its desire to promote the realisation
f those aspirations. The traditional friendship between China and America
as not only a common material basis, but is also deeply rooted in the idealism
hich is common to the Chinese and the American people. The American { co-
le, with their love of liberty, their zeal for justice, their desire to further
he advance of civilisation and their sympathy for the aspirations of nations
a their spiritual re-birth all of which reveal unmistakably the noble attitude
f the American mind, have aroused the admiration and won the love of the
.’hinese people. This idealism has manifested itself in the abolition of slavery,
ie growth of democracy, and the endeavour to establish a reign of universal
leace, which has given a new hope to the human race. It is this idealism
at accounts for the steadfastness of the American Government and people
their friendship for China through all the vicissitudes of her fortunes. It
again this idealism that has prompted the American Government to give
ympathetic consideration to the desire of the Chinese Government in connec-
ton with the question of jurisdiction and to decide to enter into negotiations
or the devising of a method leading to the eventual abolition of Extraterri-
orial privileges.
It seems to me, however, from a careful consideration of your Note that

of Extraterritoriality.
.merican Government is undoubtedly aware of the fact that the liberty of
.merican citizens and the security of their property rights do not so much
lepend upon the continued exercise of jurisdiction by their own Consular
lourts, as upon the timely removal of hindrances to the free and full assertion
f China’s sovereign rights. Extraterritorial privileges, while apparently bene-
ficial to foreigners in China in giving the impression of security and safety,
lave really had the, most injurious effect on their relations with the Chinese
>y producing ip the latter the feeling of humiliation and a sense of resentment

all matters relating to the redress of wrongs.
In your Note under acknowledgment reference is made to the report of
the Commission on Extraterritoriality submitted to the interested Governments
pursuant to a resolution adopted at the Washington Conference. The American
Government must be aware of the fact that since the completion of that re-
port, conditions in China have greatly changed, and in particular both the poli-
tical and judicial systems have assumed a new aspect. To pass judgment on the
present state of law and judicial administration in China in the light of
what is contained in the report of 1926 is doing no justice to the steadfast
policy of the National Government.
At this point, it may be Worth while to recall the circumstances under
which the American Government renounced its rights under the Capitulations
with Turkey. The Chinese judicial system, it will be admitted, does not
suffer the least in comparison with that of Turkey at the time of the abolition

had the satisfaction to find that the life and property of American citizens

EXTRATERRITCXRIAiLITY 147
CHINESE REPLY TO FRANCE.
Nanking, September 7, 1920.
■ onsieur le Ministre,
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency's Note
|! August 10th in which you are good enough to transmit to me the views of
iur Government in regard to the request of the Chinese Government, con-
ined in my Note of April 27th for the removal of restrictions on China’s
irisdictional Government.
The Chinese Government is pleaded to be reminded by the French Govern-
ent that it gave another proof of the friendly feelings it always entertained
wards the Chinese
be friendship betweenpeople
Chinaby and
signing the rests
France TariffnotAutonomy Treaty last
only on common year,
material
iterests, but also on close cultural ties and the ideals which have been an
ifailing source of inspiration both to the Chinese and the French people in
icir political evolution. It is therefore with pleasure that the Chinese
overnment takes note of the sympathetic response of the French Government
i the desire of China expressed in my last Note.
In your Note under acknowledgment, however, reference is made to the
eport of the Commission on Extraterritoriality submitted to the interested
overnments, pursuant to a resolution adopted at the Washington Conference,
he French Government is undoubtedly aware of the fact that since the
unpletion of that report, conditions in China have greatly changed, and,
t particular, both the political and judicial systems have assumed a new
jpect. To pass judgment on the present state of laws and judicial administra-
on in China in the light of what is contained in the Report of 1926 is doing
d justice to the steadfast policy of the National Government.
hichFurthermore,
the French itGovernment
may be worth while its
renounced to recall
rights the
undercircumstances under
the Capitulations
ith Turkey. The Chinese judicial system, it will be admitted, does not suffer
re least in comparison with that of Turkey at the time of the abolition
f the Capitulations. And yet the French Government, realizing that the
urkish people wuth legitimate aspirations and under the guidance of a new
nd strong Government could accomplish great things in a short space of
,me, had the wisdom and foresight to relinquish its special privileges similar
) those enjoyed hitherto by its nationals in China and has had the satisfaction
a find that the life and property of French citizens in Turkey have subsequently
eceived full and adequate protection. The French Government which did
all justice to the Turkish people in the matter of jurisdiction without any
pprehensions and with satisfactory results will no doubt solve the problem of
Ixtraterritoriality in China in the sam© friendly and sympathetic spirit.
It has been perhaps brought to the knowledge of the French Government
hat the Chin'ese Government has recently concluded treaties with several other
'owers which have agreed to relinquish extraterritorial privileges on January
st, 1930. If it had appeared to the Governments of those Powers, as it appears
o the French Government, that there did not yet exist in this country a
udiciary capable of rendering justice, to their nationals and a body of laws
idequate to give protection to their lives and property, they would certainly
ave refused to give up their privileged position and enter into the engage-
aents they have made. Now that many of the Powers which participated in
he discussions of Extraterritoriality of the Washington Conference have
dready shown by an overt act that that system has outlived its usefulness and
hould be replaced by one in harmony with the actual state of things, there is
10 reason why the French Government, which played an important part in the
deliberation of that Conference, should not act in unison with those Powers,
ihus removing the difficulty which the Chinese Government might otherwise en-
•ounter in extending jurisdiction over all foreign nationals.
148 RENiDITKXN OF TIENTSIN
It is the hope of the Chinese Government that whatever misgiving and;
apprehensions the French Government may have in considering the subject un-
der discussion will be now dispelled, and that, in the further examination
of this subject, it will be actuated by much weightier considerations, namely
the enhancement of friendship between the Chinese and the French people,
and hence the promotion of the material interests of both. It is with this
last object in view that the Chinese Government now requests the French
Government to enter into immediate discussions with the authorised repre-'
sentative of the Chinese Government
whereby Extraterritoriality in China forwillmaking the necessary
be abolished arrangements
to the mutual satis-
faction of both Governments.
I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to Your Excellency the assur-
ance of my highest consideration. (Signed) €. T. Wang.

REORGANIZATION OE THE SHANGHAI
PROVISIONAL COURT
l On May 8, 1929, the Ministry for Foreign Affairs addressed identic notes
to the Ministers of Great Britain, The United States, France, Netherlands,
Norway and Brazil requesting them forthwith to begin negotiations for the
reorganization of the Provisional Court of the Shanghai International Settle-
ment. Mr. Oudendijk, the Dutch Minister, on. behalf of the interested Powers,
replied on June 7, stating that the Court was a strictly ,local affair, and its
reorganization should be examined on behalf of the Legations concerned by a
Commission chosen from among, their local representatives together: with the re-

Tokyo is one of the three cities in Japan which stands in a prefecture by
itself, with a Governor appointed by the Central Government. The city itself
i is governed by a Mayor and a Municipality, which now has control over most
of the public utilities, including the water and electric supplies, and the
tramways. Of recent years the feudal aspect of Tokyo has almost entirely
disappeared, the streets having been widened so as to permit of modern traffic
conditions. Many fine buildings have aiso been erected, such as the Imperial
Theatre, Kabuki Theatre, the Imperial Hotel and large blocks of
business houses. Tokyo Central Station situated in the heart of the
business quarters, is now connected with all the main lines in Japan, thus
adding to the convenience of passengers.
A section well worth a visit is the public park or garden' nameo CJyeno,
wnere formerly stood the magnificent temple founded and maintained by the
Shoguns, and which was destroyed by fire during the War of Restoration in
July, 1868. In Uyeno is also situated the fine Imperial Museum (Haku-butsu-
kwan), the Tokyo Gallery of Fine Arts, the Academy of Music and a small
Zoological Garden.
I Undoubtedly the finest recent addition to the capital is the Miji Shrink
dedicated to the Emperor Meiji, (1868-1911), and its beautiful outer garden
which includes a fine stadium for athletic meetings and football matches, a
huge baseball ground, a swimming pool and an iuuposing Meiji Art Gallery.
Among the places much resorted to by visitors is the ancient temple of
Kwannon, at Asakusa, not far from Uyeno, one of the most popular and most
frequented temples in Japan. At the right of the temple there is a fine old
Pagoda, and near it are two colossal stone statues. A new park was also
opened close to the temple about the same time as that of Uyeno. Thus,
with Shiba, in the southwest, where are to be seen some of the splendid
!shrines of the Shoguns, among the chief glories of Tokyo, there are three
large public gardens within the city, in addition to the Meiji Shrine garden
mentioned above.
Tokyo does no direct foreign trade, all goods from abroad or coming
from abroad, being handled by lighters to and from Yokohama. Of late years
Tokyo has become the centre of a large industrial district. In addition to
the smaller industries that are carried on in the city itself, there are in the
immediate vicinity of the capital large cotton milb. iron foundries, and
machine shops which employ thousands of hands.
The districts of Honjo and Fukagawa form a distinct industrial portion
of the capital. Here is the centre of the lumber and ofher trades. This
quarter is connected with the rest of the city by ten splendid bridges all re

The soldiers and police are dressed in uniform on the western model.
Though large numbers appear in European garb, the native dress still com-

greater part of the year.
Many of the most famous educational institutions are situated in Tokyo.
In addition to the Imperial University, there is the celebrated Waseda
University, the Keio (lijuku, the Meiji Gakuin, the Aoyama Gakuin, and a
large number of technical, normal, commercial and other colleges.
Tokyo was opened to foreign residence in 1870 and an area of land at
Tsukiji on the waterfront was set aside as a Foreign Settlement, which was
largely taken advantage of by Christian Missionary bodies. With the passing

YOKOHAMA
Yokohama is situated on the Bay of Tokyo, in lat. 35 deg. 26 min. 11 sec.
N., and long. 139 deg. 39 min. 20 sec., and is distant about 20 miles from
the capital, with which it is connected by several lines of steam and electric
railways. A very small fishing village when it was opened to foreign trade in
1859, its proximity to the capital quickly led to its development and it was
for many years the leading port of Japan. The surrounding scenery
is hilly, and pleasing, and on clear days the snow-crowned summit
and graceful outlines of Fuji-san, a volcanic mountain 12,370 feet
high—celebrated in Japanese literature and depicted on innumerable native
works of art—is most distinctly visible, though some 50 miles distant. Adjoining the
harbour
foreign is the site of Beyond

waterfront runs a good road called the Bund, on which stand a number of

and office buildings. A fine cricket and recreation club and a racecourse are
situated about two miles from the Settlement. Three excellent golf links are
within a short distance of the city. A good boating and yachting club also

exist, providing facilities for deep-sea bathing. The railway station is well-
designed and commodious. The town is in the enjoyment of an excellent

In the very severe earthquake, which was followed by a huge conflagra-

The population of Yokohama was about 750,000 in 1938 thus being the sixth

Yokohama is administered by the Municipality, which owns the electric

supplies.

. Nagoya is called “Chukyo,” or Central Capital, and now includes Atsuta
which was. in former times, an important stage known as “Miya” on the
Tokaido (Highway), where the traffic was very heavy. But since the intro-

duction of modern methods of travel, and especially since the construction of
railways, the City of Nagoya, being in close proximity to Atsuta, has grown
rapidly in importance.
Not only is Nagoya Station an important intermediate station on the
Tokaido Main Line, but it is also a terminus of the Kansai Line which goes
to Osaka, passing through Mie and Nara Prefectures, and of the Chuo Line
which running through Gifu, Nagano anid Yamanashi Prefectures
finally reaches Tokyo. It is thus one of the most important railway centres
in all Japan. Besides these lines there is direct connection between the
station and the harbour, in order to link up the transportation by land and
• water. Within the city limits, besides Nagoya Station, there are Atsuta,
Chikusa, Ozone, Biwajima, Hatta, Shiratori, Horilkawaguchi, and Nagoya
Harbour Stations, making nine in all. The number of passengers using these

In addition to these Imperial Government Railways, there are a number

The street railway system, is owned and operated by the municipality:
it has 55.5 kilometres of track on the main streets, and carries a total of
66,761,162 passengers annually. This service is supplemented by the Tsukiji
Electric Railway and Shin-Mikawa Electric Railway. These private lines
make connections between the centre of the city and the outlying parts. Light
motor-buses are operated on all the principal streets at a uniform fare of six
There are 66 post and telegraph offices throughout the city and for wireless
messages, a despatching station at Yosami, and a receiving station at Yok-
kaichi, both towns near Nagoya, have recently been opened. These stations
are supervised and operated by the Nagoya Central Wireless Telegram Office,
and at these stations communication is maintained with Germany, Poland,
France, and Great Britain. Telephones are a Government Monopoly in
Japan, and are extensively used.

situated at the northern extremity of Ise Bay, which opens to the south-west
and is located between thirty-five degrees and thirty-five degrees five minutes
North Latitude, and one hundred and thirty-six degrees forty minutes and
one hundred and thirty-six degrees fifty-three minutes East Longitude. As

The construction of Nagoya Harbour began in 1896. Years ago the third
stage of the work was completed with an aggregate expenditure
of 15,490,000 yen. The area of the wharves is 1.52 square kilometres, with an
anchoring capacity of 96,000 tons for thirty-eight steamers of ten thousand
tons or les-s. At present the harbour can accommodate 40 vessels with a total
tonnage of 206,000 tons. But in order to meet the requirements of Nagoya arid
of mid-Japan which had been making rapid expansion, the fourth stage of the
construction was beguri in 1928 at an estimate of 10,120,000 yen. This work
will be completed in 1988, when the area of the wharv.es will be increased to
2.23 .square kilometres, and the anchoring capacity to 333,000 tons for 66
steamers including 11 ten thousand tonners
Nagoya Harbour is an important port of call for many lines, trade
with America, Europe, China, the South Sea Islands, Australia, and Africa,
is carried on directly from this port by thirty-three lines.
The port was opened to foreign trade in ISOT, and domestic and foreign
trade have developed with remarkable rapidity.

from Honshiu. The port lies in latitude 41 deg. 47 min. 8 sec. IN., and longi-
tude 140 deg. 45 min. 34 sec. E., and the harbour is nearly land-locked. The
town clusters at the foot and on the slope of a bold rock known to foreigners
as Hakodate Head, about 1,000 feet in height, which is within a fortified area
to which the public are not admitted. The surrounding country is hilly,
volcanic, and striking, but the town itself possesses few attractions. There are
some Public Gardens at the eastern end of the town which contain a small
but interesting Museum. Waterworks for supplying the town with pure
water were completed in 1889. The climate of Hakodate is healthy and bracing.
The hottest month is August, but the thermometer there rarely rises above
90 degrees Fahr.; in the winter it someitimes sinks to 10 degrees Fahr. or
even less, the minimum in an average winter being about 12 degrees Fahr.
The mean temperature throughout the year is about 48 degrees The popula-
tion of Hakodate according to the last official census in October 1930 was
197,252.
The foreign trade of the port is small, but has been steadily growing
during the last few years, mainly owing to the development of the Kamtschatka
salmon fisheries, for which Hakodate is the principal entrepot. In the
valuable and enctensive fisheries on the coast and in the surrounding seas,
however, the chief exjports of the future from Hakodate are to be looked for-
Increasing quantities of dried fish and seaweed are exported annually, mostly
to China. The mineral resources of Hokkaido are large. IVashing for gold dust

The oil, in fact, overflows into the sea, and in stormy weather boats take refuge at Nuki-
mi-Mura, as the sea is rendered smooth by the oil. Oil also exists at Nigori-
Kawa, near Hakodate; at Kayabegori, near Shiribeshi; at Itaibetsu, on a
tributary of the Urin River (output 800 gallons per day) ; at Kotamimura and
Tsukisama Mura (Imperial property), near Sapporo; and near Abashiri,
where the wells are considered rich.
Hakodate is reached in 17£ hours from Tokyo, via Aomori, between which
place and Hakodate there is a very good steamship service, maintained by the
Government Railways. From Hakodate all the principal points in Hokkaido
ean now be reached by rail, and there is also a Government Steamship service
to Odomari, in Karafuto (Japanese Saghalien). The Hakodate Harbour Im-
provement Works were completed in 1900, and a patent slip capable of taking
vessels up to 1,500 tons was also finished. There is a dry dock to accommo-
date ships up to 10,000 tons at ordinary spring tides, and at highest spring
tides the dock is capable of receiving the largest battleships in the Japanese
Navy.
In August, 1907, half the city of Hakodate was destroyed by a fire. The
number of houses destroyed in the conflagration wras ascertained to be 8,977,
rendering about 60,000 persons homeless. All the foreign residents with the
exception of the American Consular Agent were burnt out, saving nothing,
and the total loss was estimated at not less than 50.000,000 yen.
282 HAKODATE—OTARI
Another disastrous fire occurred on the evening of March 21, 1934 in the
eastern section of the city during a terrific hurricane. Three-fifths of the city
were completely burnt out within a few hours, and only the changed direction
of the wind just before midnight saved the city.from being entirely wiped out.
The loss of lives and property was 'estimated at nearly 2,000 deaths,
140,000 persons rendered homeless, 25,000 houses destroyed, and Yen 160,000,000
worth of property.
As a result of these disastrous fires, a scheme is now in force by which a
Municipal Subsidy is granted to encourage building with fireproof materials.
OTARI,
This pleasantly situated town, 157 miles north of Hakodate, is the prin-
cipal of the open ports of Hokkaido being of easy access to the rich agricul-
tural lands in the Island, and having convenient railway facilities to all the
timber bearing areas. The agricultural resources have been considerably
developed, and the rich pasture lands are well adapted for breeding cattle and
horses. The exports are timber, mostly hardwood, beans peas, onions, potatoes
and
ship general produce.

OSAKA
Osaka, with a population estimated at 3,321,200 in 1935 is the
second largest city in Japan, coming next after Greater Tokyo, but
in commercial and industrial importance it ranks first. During recent
years the city has been rapidly assuming a modern and Western
aspect. Broad well-paved streets intersect it in all directions, large modern
buildings are springing up throughout the business centre, and motor traffic
is increasing rapidly. The city is situated in the Prefecture of the same
name at the mouth of the river Yodogawa. It is intersected by other rivers and
canals that make excellent waterways for the transport of merchandise. From
the point of view of the foreign tourist, the most interesting
and imposing sight is Osaka Castle, erected in 1583 by the famous warrior
Toyotomi Hideyoshi. It is now the Headquarters of the Fourth Army Divi-
sion, the grounds having been converted into a public park.
Osaka is the seat of numerous industries, including cotton-spinning mills,
shipbuilding yards, iron-works and sugar refineries. ‘Cotton-spinning
and weaving are the most important industries and there are a large num-
ber of big mills in the city and neighbourhood- Recently there has been a
surprising development in the manufacture of all kinds of goods for the
export trade in Osaka’s well-equipped factories. The Imperial Mint also is
established here. From the outset the street Electric Tramway within the city
limits was a municipal undertaking and at present 106 kilometres are open
to traffic.
284 OSAKA
The harbour is under the control of the Municipal Harbour Department.
Extensive improvements have been in progress for a number of years and
still further plans are to be given effect to. Among them, the reconstruction
work of the Port Osaka which was commenced in 1934 is designed for comple-
tion by 1940, when a huge outer break-water, length 3,995 meters, will be
constructed and water-area protected by it will amount to 5,950,000 square
meters.
By this year, on the other hand, the North Harbour Company is due to
enclose an additional marine area of 2,317,000 Square meters between the
Shinyodo River and the Azi River.
In the near future, it is expected that the Harbour will have been
equipped with the most modern appliances and facilities. The present har-
bour has berthing accommodation at 37 buoys for ships of 5,000 to 20,000
gross tons. Four landing piers and eight quays, all with sheds and railway
facilities, have water depth of 30 feet or over. Floating and fixed wharf
cranes and dry docks are available.
The trade statistics of Osaka since the War have shown great growth-
The total foreign trade in 1937 consisted of 1,994,739 tons of merchandise
valued at ¥853,104,864 in exports and 5,508,515 tons at lf835,182,960 in imports

KOB E

by private concerns, all of these being connected with the main Tokyo-Shi-
monoseki line of railway. Two more large piers, one with a slip in the centre,
are now nearing completion, while large new piers have been built for the
domestic trade in Hyogo Bay. There is also an extensive anchorage, protected
by breakwaters. In Kobe are the Kawasaki and Mitsubishi shipyards, both
equipped with all modern facilities. In addition to the above, Kobe possesses
steelworks, locomotive and carriage works, the Dunlop Rubber Company’s
works, a plate and sheet mill, the Nippon Keori Company’s Head Offices, four mills

Two modern hotels offer good accommodation. Kobe stretches for some ten
miles along the strip of land between the hills and the water and is rapidly
extending on both sides, particularly in the direction of Osaka, with which
it is connected by rail and by three electric tramways, as well as by a broad.,
well-constructed motor-road. A number of large modern buildings have added
much to the appearance of the city during recent years. Kobe has three main
railway stations—-Sannomiya, Kobe and Hyogo, of which the first-named is
the most important for foreign residents—all three being on the main Tokyo-
Shimonoseki through line. There are several clubs—the Kobe Club-
(including members of all nationalities), the Masonic Club, the India Club,
the Club Concordia (German), and the Kobe Regatta and Athletic Club (inter-
national),

The population of the city of Kobe is given as 989,100 (October, 1938) Kobe
possesses the largest number of foreign residents of any city in Japan.
The Temple of Nofukuji, which possesses a large Bronze Buddha in the
old town of Hyogo, and is worth a visit; and there is a monument to the
Japanese hero Kiyomori, erected in 1286, in a grove of trees in the

vicinity of the tenuple, which claims some attention from its historic asso-
ciations. The bed of the old river Minatogawa was reclaimed in 1910. The
upper part of the reclaimed area is now known as Minatogawa Park, where
there is a large market. The lower part of thtertainments, such as cinematographs, etc. The shrine dedicated to Kusunoki
Masashige, the Imperialists, who fell on this spot in 1336 during the unsuccessful
wars for the restoration of the Imperial power, stands between Kobe Station and
Okurayama Park, where there is also a large City Library. This shrine has recently
acquired national prominence as a leading shrine among those of the state religion.
In the park stands a bronze statute of the late Prince Ito, who was one of the most
influential and powerful statesmen of Japan in the Meiji period.

MOJJ AND SHIMONOSKK!
These two towns are situated on either side of Shimonoseki Straits, the
western entrance of the Inland Sea—Moji with a population of1 122,798 one the
south and Shimonoseki with a population of 147,018 oh the north. Shimono-
seki (recently amalgamated with Hikoshima Island—population 126,3851, is under
the jurisdiction of Yamaguchi (population 130,000), 51 miles away, and Moji
under that of Fukuoka (population 302,068) 47 miles away. The foreign merchants
formerly all had their offices in Shimonoseki, but owing to the -very rapid growth of
Moji during the last 30 years, due mainly to its becoming an important coal and
industrial centre, most of the foreign and Japanese main and local branch offices have
removed to Moji. The city has now fine roads, and commercial buildings with most
up-to-date tram, bus and motor Car services. The head office of the: Kyushu section of
the Kailway Bureau at Moji controls also part of the mainland and the eight
hour Fusan ferry service. An imposing Government building houses the Customs
Harbour, Marine Bureaux etc., at Moji, and now wharves, capable of mooring steamers
drawing 30 feet, are made nearby. Moji has important trade with the following
neighbouring cities:—Kokura, population 135,000; Yawata (Government SteelWorks)
250,000; Tobata 77,556; Wakamatsu, 77,307 and Moji has absorbed the adjacent
town of Dairi (on the west side), where there are now many factories and
some foreigners’ offices. There is a fairly -strong tidal current through the
Straits, but the anchorage, which is at Moji. is only affected by an eddy,
and good holding ground is general. However, most of the larger vessels engage one
of the numerous Buoys controlled by the Harbour Master. Steamers entering from
the West can get pilots at Rokuren Light, where boats have to stop in any case for
medical inspection and harbour-master’s instructions. From the'eastward this inspec-
tion takes place at Hesaki Light. Means of transport are good. Liners run
regularly to all foreign ordinary ports of call; and, while from Shimonoseki
the Sanyo Railway taps the north, from Moji the Kiushiu Railway taps the
south of Japan The Shimonoseki Station Hotel provides good accommoda-
tion for foreigners. The Imperial Railway Department has also four large ferry
boat® plying between Moji and the Shimonoseki Station, while a ten-minute
ferry plies between the usual landing places at Moji and Shimonoseki. A tunnel
is now being made under the straits and will take at least 4 years to complete.
Both towns have municipal waterworks, are lit by electricity, and are con-
nected by telephone with the principal towns, from Kagoshima and Nagasaki,
in the south, to Tokyo in the north-east. It should be specially noted that
photographing and sketching are forbidden within a radius of ten miles
round Shimonoseki and Moji on land and sea. The law in this respect is
strictly enforced and ignorance is not accepted as an excuse.

.NAGASAKI
At the end of the sixteenth century, when the nations of Western Europe
were vigorously competing for the trade of the Far East, Nagasaki—then a
fishing village—was set aside by the Japanese authorities as a place of foreign
residence. It speedily became the chief trading port of the country. When
the Christian religion was banned in 1637 and only the Dutch were allowed
trade privileges, a small island in Nagasaki harbour called Deshima was
allotted to the Dutch merchants as a trading station and place of residence.
During the persecution which culminated in the expulsion from Japan of
foreign Christian priests, the city was the centre of the anti-Christian opera-
tions conducted by the Japanese government. By the treaty of 1868 Nagasaki
was one of the ports opened to British trade on the 1st of July in the follow-
ing year.
On entering the harbour of Nagasaki no stranger can fail to be struck with
the admirable situation of the town and the beautiful panorama of hilly
scenery opened to his view. The harbour is a land-locked inlet deeply in-
dented with small bays, about three miles long whth a width varying from haif-
a-mile to a mile. A reclamation scheme was commenced in October, 1897, and
completed

FORMOSA
This island, one of the largest in Asia, is situated between latitude 22 and
26 degrees N., and longitude 120 and 122 degrees E., and is separated from
the coast of Fukien, China, by a channel about one hundred miles in width.
It is a prolongation of the Japanese and Loochoo Archipelagoes, and in lb&5
was incorporated in the Japanese Empire. Its name Formosa, signifying
“beautiful island," was conferred by the Portuguese, the first Europeans to
visit it, but it was called Taiwan (Great Bay) by the Chinese, to whom it
belonged from 1661 to 1894. It is said that the Japanese epdeavoured to
form a colony in the island in 1620, but large numbers of Chinese were settled
there prior to that date. The Dutch arrived1 in 1634, and founded several
settlements, and traces of their occupation are still to be found in the island,
but they were compelled in 1661 to retire by the Chinese pirate chief Koxinga,
who then assumed the sovereignty of western Formosa. His grandson and
successor, however, was induced, twenty-two years later, to resign the crown
to the Emperor of China. By the Treaty of Shimonoseki, which terminated
the war between China and Japan in 1895, the island was ceded
to Japan as one of the conditions of peace, and on the 1st June, 1895,
the formal surrender was made, the ceremony taking place on board ship
outside 'Keelung- The resident Chinese officials, however, declared a republic,
and offered resistance, and it was not until the end of October that the oppos-
ing forces were completely overcome, the last stand being made in the south
by Liu Yung-fu, the Black Flag General, of Tonkin notoriety. Takow was
bombarded
on the 21st and
of thecaptured on 15thLiu

refuge in flight.
Formosa is about 260 miles in length, and from 60 to 70 miles broad in
the widest part. It is intersected from north to south by a range of mountains,
which forms a kind of backbone to the island, the loftiest peak of which,
Mount Morrison (Hiitakayama), is 13,880 feet high. On the western side of
this range the slope is more gradual than on the eastern side, and broken
by fertile valleys which lose themselves in the large undulating plain on which
the Chinese are settled. The high land east of the dividing chain is peopled
by an aboriginal race who acknowledge no allegiance to the Chinese Govern-
ment and made frequent raids upon the outlying Chinese settlements, but
as the island is being steadily opened up conditions are improving, and
doubtless in course of time they will become merged in the general popula-
tion, although naturally a savage and warlike people, allied to the Malays
and Polyneisians, who lived principally by the chase.

Amongst sundry factories and mills at various places in the island are
ice-works,
fertiliser a brewery, strawboard
factories, ramie and

cementtwoworks,
flour mills, hosiery factories

numerous mills,
oil-extracting and ricebrick-works (many

electric-light plants, and a gas works (in Taipeh).
The trade and industries of the island are steadily developing, and both
fish and fruit are now being largely exported to the mother-country and
Dairen, whilst recently attention has been directed to the gathering of coral,
supplies of which have been found in the waters of the northern vicinity. All
the principal towns are now equipped with water-works, electric lighting,
and large markets, etc., and connection between them by motor lines of cars
is becoming general, replacing the push cars hitherto mainly in use.
One great drawback to the island is its lack of good harbours, which is
more especially felt on account of the strength of the monsoons in the Formosa
'Channel. Those on the eastern side are few and neither commodious nor
accessible; whilst 7 on the west coast, with the exception of Keelung in the
north and Takow in the south, they are little better than open roadsteads.
Harbour improvements have just been completed at Keelung, and are still
being carried out at Takow, when completed, they will greatly increase the
existing accommodation. The depth at low water at the entrance to the
harbours is 30 feet and 23J feet, respectively.
Taipeh is the capital of Formosa, and Tainan is the chief city in the
south of the Island. The open ports are four in number, viz., Takow and
Anping in the south, and Tamsui and Keelung in the north. The latter was
held for some months in 1884-5 by the French, under Admiral Courbet, but was
evacuated on June 21st 1885. The rivers of Formosa are few, shallow,
and winding, only navigable to small flat-bottomed boats. The scenery is
delightful, and the climate is very pleasant in the wnnter, but hot in some
parts of the island.
A complete system of post and telegraph services is in force while two
cables connect the island with Japan proper.
Air service for passengeirs and mail :

A railway traversing the west side of the island, from Keelung in the
north to Keishu in the south was officially opened by II.l.H. Prince Kan-
in on October 24th, 1908. A short line also connects Taipeh and Tamsui in
the north. On the west coast is a loop line of 56^ miles between Chikunan
and Oden (near Shoka) Hugging the coast, as it does, it avoids the steep
gradients and numerous tunnels of the main line. On the through-line, sleep-
mg-cars are now7 run for the accommodation of first and second class passengers.

The port of Keelung lies to the north-east of Tamsui, in latitude 25 deg.
6 min. N. and longitude 121 deg. 47 min. E. It is situated on the shores of
a bay between the capes of Foki and Peton, some 20 miles apart, amidst bold
and striking scenery, backed by a range of mountains. It was once a Spanish
Settlement, but was subsequently captured and held by the Dutch until they
in turn gave place to the Chinese under Koxinga, formerly a pirate chief,
who caused himself to be proclaimed King of Formosa. Though but a mere
village, it had long carried on a considerable native trade with Amoy, Chin-
chew, and Foochow. Keelung was opened to foreign trade at the same time
as the other Formosan ports. The limits of the port are defined to be within
a straight line drawn from Image Point to Bush Island. On the 5th August,
1884, the port was bombarded by the French under Admiral Lespes, when the
forts above the town were reduced to ruins, and the place captured. It was
then garrisoned by the French, who held it until after the Treaty of Peace
had been signed at Tientsin in June, 1885. The place was occupied by the
Japanese on the 3rd, June, 1895.
At Keelung harbour improvements were completed in 1934 at a cost of
over 33 million Ten, and have largely increased the accommodation available
The present harbour is however too small for the increased number of
vessels which enter and clear, and an extension work, which was started in
1935 under a 9-year programme at a total cost of ¥7,795,440, is now in pro-
gress. The main work under the new programme is the construction of a
breakwater in the outer harbour. At present about 3C vessels of under 20,000
tons and above 3,000 tons can be accommodated in the inner harbour.
During 1900 a lighthouse was completed on Pak-sa Point, a low headland
on the west coast, some 20 miles south-west of Tamsui, and one has been
erected

The railway line between Tamsui and Taipeh was opened in August, 1901,.
and has been of great benefit to the people of the district. Keelung is the
northern terminus of the trans-Formosan Government Railway. The capital
city is known by the Chinese name of Taipeh, and also under the Japanese
nomenclature of Taihoku, which is now applicable, also, to the whole pi’ovince, the

The city of Tainan (until 1889 known as Taiwanfu or Taiwanfoo
t.e. The capital of Taiwan) situated in lat. 23 deg. 6 min. N., and long.
128 deg. 5 min. E., is the oldest city in Formosa. For nearly two cen-
turies it was the capital under the Chinese regime ■, prior to that
it had been held by both the Dutch and Koxinga, and relics of the
former’s occupation still exist. Next to Taipeh, it is the principal city, and

Takao is the only harbour in the south catering for the bulk of the sugar

been made along the shore of the lagoon, transforming marsh land into a well

by the authorities, with the idea of making the Japanese Empire as far as
possible, self-supporting as to raw wool. A great deal of attention is now
being paid by the Government to the encouragement of breeding horses as well
as other livestock, and to the raising of swine and poultry. Much of the soil
is fertile, and agriculture has considerably advanced under the Japanese re-
gime, with improved methods of cultivation, in the selection of seeds and
manure, m irrigation and in reclamation. Sericulture, cotton and fruit-
growing are also being given great encouragement by the authorities, and
cotton growing in the South and wool in the North are looked upon as indus-
tries with a great future both for Korea and Japan. There are extensive
forests in the north, and gold, copper, iron, coal and other minerals are
distributed throughout the country. The principal exports are rice, fertilizers, cotton,

Opinions differ as to the exact origin of the Koreans. Their language
belongs to the “Turanian” group, and is more akin to Japanese than to any
other tongue, especially in grammatical construction, though in pronunciation
and vocabulary there are great differences. Chosen was once a greatly ad-
CHOSEN (KOREA) 333
vaac«d nation, from which the Japanese learned many arts and crafts, and
indeed the rudiments of the ancient Chinese civilisation, but she seems never
to have enjoyed any political importance. Situated between China in the
west and Japan in the east, her rulers seem ever to have been involved in
intrigue and scheming to keep in with the stronger party. For centuries she
paid , tribute to Peking, while preserving a nominal independence and pur-
suing, a policy of exclusion to all foreigners other than Chinese. After the
Meiji Restoration in Japan, the Japanese were anxious to break down this
exclusive barrier, and in 1876 succeeded in entering into a treaty of amity
and commerce. Although China assented to this and to subsequent treaties
with other foreign powers (with America, 1882; with Britain, 1883; with Ger-
many and Russia, 1884, etc.), thus acknowledging Chosen’s complete indepen-
dence,

Russian influence to the force and in 1904 came the Russo-Japanese
War, as a result of which Russia was forced to acknowledge Japan’s
paramount interest in Korea The internal administration of Korea
being notoriously corrupt, Japan established a protectorate over Korea
by a treaty ((Nov. 1905), when the great statesman Prince Ito was appointed
Resident-General. More and more power passed into Japanese hands, and

the .Peace Conference, but arrived too late. The methods adopted by the
Japanese to suppress the insurrections that broke out were subjected to grave
criticism for their alleged brutality and severity, though the authorities did
their best to suppress all information of a damaging nature: but since then
the former militaristic policy has been largely abandoned, and the system of
gendarmes for the most place replaced by a civilian police force.
The task before Japan when she took over the reins of government was no
mean one, but she tackled it with characteristic energy, and much has been achieved.
She,has established a well-organised judicial system, with trained judges, and has
introduced a form of local self-government. In 1920 advisory bodies, in the form of
Provincial, Municipal and Urban and Rural District Councils, were created, and in
1930 an Ordinance was published transforming, within well-defined limits, these
Councils into self-governing bodies. The first elections under the new system for the
Municipal and Urban district Councils were held in May, 1931. Reform of the
financial administration has received a great deal of attention. In 1919 for
the first time no subsidy was needed from the Imperial Government, but in
subsequent years owing to various administrative reforms it has been necessary
for grants to be made from the National Treasury. In 1937 the grant amounted to
Yl2,913,966. In the sphere of education, following on the establishment of elementary
schools of Japanese lines throughout the country, considerable advance had been
made in the development of higher education, culminating in the opening of the
Imperial University in Keijo (Seoul) in 19 .’8. A great debt is however due to foreign

was 4,066 kilometres of Government Railway and 1,212 kilometres of private.

buildings and shops can bear favourable comparison with the great towns of
Japan proper. Many other roads have been made and widened in different parts of
the city, particularly in the vicinity of the new Imperial University, which
lies in the north-east and was opened in May, 1926. The work of town-planning,
the making of parks and so forth, is pursued regularly each year, though
somewhat hampered at present by lack of funds. Lastly, mention must be
made of the steep hill of Nansan, which dominates the city to the south,
half-way up the slope of which the Japanese have set the great Chosen Shrine,
at which Ama-terasu Omikami, the divineancestress of the Japanese Imperial
family, and the Emperor Meiji, founder of modern Japan, are venerated as
national guardian deities. This shrine is approached by a magnificant flight
of stone steps, and from the terrace in front of it a splendid panorama of
the city outspread below is obtained.
The population of the city was 677,241 at the end of 1936. The number o^
Europeans and Americans is under 400.

This port, situated on the north-eastern coast of Chosen, is in the southern
corner of the province of South Kankyo, about halfway between Fusan and
Vladivostock. The native town has grown considerably since the port was
opened to trade, and contained a population of 61,772 at the end of 1936.
The town is built along the southern shore of the bay, and through it runs
the main road which leads from Keijo to the Tumen river. The harbour is a
good one, being spacious, easy of access, and well sheltered with excellent
holding ground and convenient depth of water.

Fuaan, 280 miles from Seoul, is the main gateway for Korea and is the
southern terminus of its trunk railway line. It was once the sole channel
of traffic between Korea and Japan, there having been a settlement of
Japanese here for many years. The port is well protected with a range of
hills to the nor th-west and islands to the south and possesses up-to-date
harbour facilities. Ferry services are maintained twice daily with Shimono-
seki (about 8 hours), and through express trains run in connection therewith
from Fusan through Seoul to Mukden and Hsinking. Fusan has lately be-
come the centre of two growing industries new to Korea, the manufacture
of enamelled ironware and of electric bulbs, the products of both of which
are linding foreign markets. There are also rayon weaving mills and a
cotton spinning and weaving mill. Fusan has the largest proportion of
Japanese residents of any city in Korea, the total population in 1935 being
182,290.

HEIJO AND CHINNAMPO
« ¥ if *
Heijo (Pyengyang) is the most important city of North Korea and
shares with Fusan the distinction of being the second city for population in
the Peninsula. It was the capital of the ancient Korean kingdom of Kogur-
yu (Kokoli) and is now the seat of government of Heian Nando Province.
Heijo is situated on the right bank of the Daido River, some 60 miles from
its mouth and is an important railway, military and industrial centre, with
a population in 1935 of 182,122 It is a stopping place for planes on the
regular service between Japan and Manchuria, the aerodrome being on the
left bank of the river, and possesses an European-style hotel, operated by
the Chosen Railway Bureau. Good anthracite coal is found in the neigh-
bourhood. Heijo is an important missionary centre.
Ohinnampo, the seaport of Heijo, is situated some 40 miles down the
river on the north side of the estuary, about 20 miles from its mouth, and
is also connected by railway. The harbour of Chinnampo affords safe accom-
modation for vessels and is moreover equipped with a dock capable of taking
two vessels of 3,000 tons. The population in 1935 was 50,516. Ten miles up
the river, between Heijo and Chinnampo, are the big steelworks of Kenjiho.
KUNSAN
iii n
Kunsan is situated near the mouth of the Kinko river on the west coast
of Korea, about midway between Chemulpo and Mokpo. Behind the port
lie the richest agricultural districts of the Peninsula, known as the “granary
of Korea”. Kice, which is all taken by Japan, outweights all other exports
in value, and as a rice^shipping port Kunsan is second in Korea only to
Fusan. In the town are a number of rice-cleaning mills The population in
1935 was 41,620.

Seishin is an important port and the commercial centre of north-eastern
Korea. It has a deep harbour, but its exposed character places it at a dis-
advantage as compared with Rashin, some 36 miles further up the coast,
where harbour works have recently been constructed. Seishin is connected by
rail with Seoul (542 km.) via Gensan and northwards through Kainei with
the South Manchuria Railway system. It is a port of call for vessels on the
regular Tsuruga-Vladivostok service. The population in 1933 was 36.970.

Council, consisting of 70 members, replaced the suppressed Parliament. It wap
supposed to act as an advisory, administrative and legislative, organ until the
formation of the new. Parliament under the Constitutional Compact, but its
chief function was to give a veneer of legality to the policy of the President,
All it did was to endorse his every action, even to the mad Monarchy Move-
ment.

was officially confirmed in the appointment by a re-assembly of the first Parlia-
ment. The Cabinet was soon afterwards approved by Parliament, and a con-
stitution was drafted which was disliked by the Premier and the military
chiefs by reason of the fact that it placed all authority in the hands of Par-
liament. This led to a rupture which resulted in Li Yuan-hung being com-
pelled to dissolve Parliament at the instigation of the militarists. Then fol-
lowed, in 1916, Chang Hsun’s mad attempt to restore the Manchu Dynasty.
He was over-thrown by Marshal Tuan Chi-jui after which Feng Kuo-chang,
the Vice-President assumed the Presidency as Li Yuan-hung declined to com-
plete his term. The second election of a President took place in October, .1918,
when Hsu Shih-chang was unanimously chosen. He retired in June. 19(22, and

military and civil leaders to become the Provisional Chief Executive and
accepted. For the next three years there was no Government worthy of the
name in China. Marshal Chang Tso-lin was virtual dictator in Peping, but
North and (South were at war and the whole country was in a state of chaos
owing to the rival claims of many military leaders. In June, 1928, Peiping
was captured by the Nationalists, and in October—on the anniversary of the
Revolution—Chiang Kai-shek ivas proclaimed President of the Republic. In
January. 1929, the Nationalist flag was hoisted at Mukden and other important
centres, signifying that the Northerners had at last decided to co-operate with
their former enemies in the South. Nanking is now the capital of China.

means stabilised by the ostensible return of Mongolia to China’s fold. The
invasion of Baron Ungern von Sternberg with an anti-Bolshevik army in Feb-
ruary, 1921, caused the intervention of Soviet Russia, whose troops, having
dislodged Ungern’s men, entered into possession of Urga, the capital of Mon-
golia, and the Territory stretching up to the Russian frontier. Inner Mon-
golia has been formed into three special administrative districts, viz., Jehol,
Chahar and Suiyuan. Manchuria or Manchukuo as she is now sometimes
called has in recent years been steadily and rapidly colonised by Japanese,
who greatly outnumber the Manchus in their own land. In 1932, she asserted
her independence, under Japanese protection, but so far she has not been re-
cognised by any other Nations with the exception of San Salvador. Tibet—
which is also practically a dependency of China and whose actual status is
still an outstanding question between Great Britain and China—has an area
of 643,734 square miles and a population of over 6,000,000. Down to 1910 it
was ruled by the late Dalai Lama, but subject to the Government of Pei-
ping, which maintains a Resident at Lhassa. In consequence, however, of the
Dalai Lama’s refusal to comply with the demands of Peiping, a Chinese
military expedition was dispatched to Lhassa, and he fled to India, where he
remained for over a year. Meanwhile, the great revolution broke out in China.

Foreign Trade in 1938
Value of Trade
The net value of the foreign trade of China for the years 1936, 1937 and 1938
is given in the following table:
Net Value of the Foreign Trade of China, 1936-38
1936. 1937. 1938.
Million $ Million $ Million $
Imports 941 953 886
Exports 706 838 763
Total 1,647 1,791 1.649
Excess of Imports
As will be seen from the above, the net value of the trade of China, import
and export, expressed in terms of standard dollars, was for the year 1938 $1,649
million as compared with $1,791 million during 1937. Imports declined from
$953 million to $886 million, a decrease of 7 per cent, with exports also falling
from $838 million to $763 million, a decline of 8.95 per cent. In this connexion
;t should be noted that, for purposes of conversion into standard dollars of the
declared gold unit valuation of imports, the Government having retained for
1938 the average official daily rate for duty-paying purposes, based on the
average official daily rates for foreign exchange of Pence Sterling 14i, U.S.
$0.30, Japanese ¥1.03, etc., or the average official rate of Gold Unit \=St. $2.30,
the standard dollar valuation of imports as shown above for the year 1938 is not
augmented by the rising value on the open market of the foreign exchanges in
terms of , dollars.
The following table illustrates the adverse balance of trade in standard
dollars during the past 29 years since 1910:

The steady reduction in the adverse balance of trade since 1931, although
the figure for the year 1938 is subject to certain revision as pointed out below,
presents a striking feature and is the result largely of a decline in the value of

increase, Chinese exports as percentage of imports having grown from 45.50 per
cent in 1933 to 87.93 per cent in 1937. In considering the figures for the year
under review, the incidence of hostilities must naturally be taken into considera-
tion. As previously, the adverse balance for the year 1938 of $123 million may
lightly be reduced by $16.5 million of export duty, which should be added to
the outward statistics to obtain the true f.o.b. value of the export trade.

Individually, the order of importance of the major countries for the year
1938 is found to be Japan, the United States of America, Germany and Great
Britain, with respective totals for their imports and exports of $326 million,
$238 million, $169 million and $127 million, representing an increase in the case

million to $20.5 million; of liquid fuel, from $14.9 to $10.7 million; and of kero-
sene oil, from $47.8 million to $30 million. Metals and ores witnessed a severe
decline from $131.6 million to $65 million, the decline being general under all
headings but being principally noticeable under ungalvanized iron and steel
bars,Which fell in value from $13.9 million to $6.5 million; under rails, which
fell from $13.6 million to $2.1 million; under ungalvanized sheets and plates,
from $14.7 million to $6 million; and under tinned plates, which declined from
$17.1 million to $10.3 million. The decline under chemicals and pharmaceuticals
from $61 million to $57 million occurred mainly under chemical and chemical
compounds, not otherwise recorded, which fell in value from $16.5 million to
$12.2 million. The importation of sulphate of ammonia was well maintained at
$18.8 million as against $19.6 million, with caustic soda at $2.7 million as against
$2.5 million. Machinery and tools fell in value from $65 million to $56.4 mil-
lion'; the decline under machinery and parts, not otherwise recorded, being from
$22.8 million, with an increase in textile machinery and parts, largely from
Japan, from $21 million to $25 million. A considerable decline took place
under the grouping books, maps, paper and wood pulp from $65 million to $45
million, common printing and newsprinting paper falling in value from $20
million to $10 million; kraft paper, from $3 million to $1.3 million; paper, not
otherwise recorded, from $316 million to $2.2 million; wood pulp, from $2.6
million to $0.6 million; and paperware and all articles made of paper, not
otherwise recorded, from $9.2 million to $3.5 million. There were increases
under paper boards from $2.5 million to $4.3 million, and in cigarette paper
also from $2.5 million to $4.3 million, while slight increases appear under simile
and tissue paper. The increase from $37.6 million to $42.8 million under cotton
and manufactures thereof was largely on Japanese account; under raw cotton
the decline in value of approximately $3.3 million was due to decreased imports
of Egyptian and American cotton. The decrease under vehicles and vessels was
from $42 million to $34 million, being noticeable in locomotives and tenders,
which declined in value from $6.3 million to $6.3 million; in railway and tram-
way parts, not otherwise recorded, from $4.8 million to $2.9 million; and in
bicycle parts and accessories, from $4.7 million to $1.7 million. The import of
motor tractors, trailers and trucks (including chassis) increased in value from
$11.7 million to $15.6 million, and in motor-car parts and accessories (not in-
cluding tires and tubes) from $3.5 million to $5 million. Dyes, pigments, paints
and varnishes fell in value from $37.1 million to $31.1 million, with a decline
of close on $3 million under aniline and other coal tar dyes, decreases also
occurring under artificial indigo, paints and pigments. The import of miscel-
laneous metal manufactures declined in value from $41 million to $29.7 million;
scientific instruments or apparatus and parts or accessories, not otherwise re-
corded, fell in value from $5.9 million to $2.4 million; telephonic and telegraphic
instruments and parts, from $2.5 million to $1.6 million; radio sets and parts,
from $3.5 million to $1.2 million; and metal manufactures, not otherwise re-
corded, from $6.1 million to $2.3 million. There was little change in imports of
timber and tobacco. Imports of coal, largely from British India, French Indo-
China and Japan, rose in value from $6 million to $21.5 million. Imports of
sugar declined, while under wool and manufactures thereof the decline was from
$35.6 million to $18.9 million, the fall being particularly heavy in the case of
wood, carded or combed wool and waste wool from Great Britain, which fell in
quantity from over 5 million kilogrammes to under 600,000 kilogrammes. The
import of silk (including artificial silk) and manufactures thereof rose in value
from $13.6 million to $17.8 million, the increase being largely from Japan, with
imports from Italy declining. The import of fruit, seeds and vegetables, and
of animal products, canned goods and groceries, largely from Japan, increased,
with a decline in the import of fishery and sea products.
Exports
The net value of exports declined from $838 million to $763 million, or by
8.95 per cent. Below are given comparative statistics for the net value of the
export trade during the past three years, arranged according to the groupings
used in the “Monthly Returns of the Foreign Trade of China” and in order of
their importance during the year under review:

of drawn-thread work continued to improve, being in value $8.8 million as com
pared with $7.3 million, of which amount $6.6 million was for the United States
of America. Cross-stitch work and embroideries, other than silk, were well
maintained, being $18.2 million as against $20.6 million, the United States of
America taking $10.9 million worth as against $12.3 million. Silk embroideries
declined in value from $4.3 million to $2.5 million; lace and trimmings also
declined from $8.5 million to $7.5 million, the United States of America taking
$4.9 million as against $6.2 million during 1937. The oils, tallow and wax
grouping is always one of major importance, the value, however, of exports
under this group fell from $127 million to $53 million, the export of that staple
commodity wood oil declining in value from $89.8 million to $39.2 million,
exports to America declining in value from $58.5 million to $3.5 million with an
increase in exports appearing as for Hongkong from $16.1 million to $30.9

to Germany declining from $6.7 million to $2 million and to the United States
of America from $5.5 million to $1.8 million. The export also of tea oil to the
United States of America fell from $4.8 million to almost nothing. The export
of tea improved from $30.8 million to $33 million. Of the total export, $17.7
million worth appears as for Hongkong, $7.4 million for Morocco, $1.9 million
for the United States of America, and $1.3 million as for Algeria. Piece-goods
exports rose in value from $22.4 million, cotton shirtings and sheetings improv-
ing in value from $2.7 million to $7.5 million, of which $4.9 million appears as
for Hongkong. Silk piece-goods and silk pongees fell away. Under seeds there
was a heavy decline from $35.9 million to $19.5 million; groundnuts in shell
maintained their position at $3.5 million as against $3.1 million, but shelled
groundnuts (including blanched peanuts) declined in value from $9 million,
the export to Germany falling from $3.2 million to $555,000. Sesamum seed
(including pulp) fell heavily also from $14.5 million to $1.5 million, Germany.
Italy, Japan and the Netherlands, all large buyers in 1937, taking little of noth-
ing. Under hides, leather and skins (furs) the value of exports fell from $53.8
million to $19.4 million owing to unsettled conditions in the North. Cow hides
also declined in value from $9.2 million to $2.9 million, with undressed goat
skins declining from $11.4 million to $2.4 million, the export of these to America
declining in value from $8.8 million to $207,000. Similarly, dressed or undressed
lamb skins fell from $7.5 million to $1.4 million, exports in their case to the
.United States of America falling in value from $7.2 million to $1.4 million.
Dressed or undressed weasel skins also fell away from $4 million to $1.9 million,
exports to America falling from $4 million to $1.4 million. Skin mats and rugs,
not otherwise recorded, were valued at only $3.9 million, as compared with $9.2
million during 1937, exports again to the United States of America declining
in value from $7.9 million to $3.3 million. The export of cereals and cereal
products fell in value from $15.1 million to $4.8 million. Exports of bran fell
from $4.2 million to $1.3 million, exports to Formosa falling from $1.3 million
to $70,000 and to Japan from $2.9 million to $1.2 million, with the export of
cotton seed-cake to Japan falling also from $4 million to $797,000. Millet
exports, the value of which in 1936 to Japan was $2.1 million and to Korea $1.9
million, fell to nil. The decline under beans and peas from $6.5 million largely
occurred in small green beans, which fell from $2.9 million to $808,000, the
decline being general over all countries formerly interested. Exports under
other groupings were comparatively well maintained and present no special
features.

a decline to 2,668,900 tons for the year 1938. Mercantile shipping launched for
the period 1926-29 averaged 2,363,000 tons, totalled 2,889,500 tons in 1930, fell to
its lowest ebb of 489,000 tons in 1933, recovered to 2,117,900 tons in 1936, 2,690,600
(actual figure) tons in 1937, and had risen to 2,986,800 (provisional figure) tons
for the year 1938. Actual tonnage afloat at the end of June 1938 was 67,846,500
tons, which is still below the figure of 68,074,300 tons for the year ending June
1929. These figures, however, tend to show that, despite naval construction, the
carrying capacity of the world’s mercantile marine is approaching pre-depression
levels. Since, however, conditions were generally unfavourable to, and there
were no signs of an expansion of, internatioal trade, the general tendency of
freight rates was downward. According to the “Economist” index based on
1913= 100; the average level, which had improved from 80.8 in January 1936 to
110.2 for December 1936 and stood in January 1937 at 116.5, had declined to 108.6
in December 1937, with a further fall to 92.8 by December 1938.

Freight rates on the China coast were increased by 10 per cent as from the
1st May 1937. Since then freight rates have been increased during 1938 by 15
per cent in April, 10 per cent in June and by a further 15 per cent in October.
These increases of 40 per cent during 1938 have, however, been in the nature of
compensation for the declining value of the Chinese dollar, which vis-a-vis;
foreign currencies have fallen by approximately the same percentage.
Transpacific Freights

! Railways
Of the 10,000 odd kilometres, of China’s railways, some 6,000 kilometres run
, over areas affected by the Sino-Japanese hostilties. Among the principal lines
affected in the North are the Peiping-Liaoning Railway from Peiping to Shan-
haikwan ; the Tatung-Puchow line running north to south in Shansi, some 1,000
kilometres in length; the Lung-Hai line of 1,200 kilometres; the Tientsin-Pukow
line of 1,100 kilometres;
Peiping-Suiyiian line of 876 the kilometres;
Peiping-Hankow line of 1,214 line
the Tsingtao-Tsinan kilometres; the
of 453 kilo-
metres; the Shihkiachwang-Taiyuan line of 278 kilometres; and in Anhwei, the
| Hwainan line of 215 kilometres. In Central China the Japanese dominated the
Shanghai-Nanking line of 311 kilometres, the Shanghai-Hangchow-Ningpo line
of 273 kilometres, the branch Soochow-Kashing line, and the line 178 kilometres
in length running from Nanking through Wuhu to Sunkiapu., Despite the hos-
tilities continuing over a period of 17 months, the Chinese Government has con-
sistently pursued a policy of maintaining and improving her lines of communi-
cation in the West and South-west, while, incidentally, losses of rolling-stock
from those lines affected were minor, most of the railway equipment and machine
shops having been successfullyT removed to the interior. Durirfg the year 1936

kilometres of new; railways, it being planned that 1,695 kilometres of new rail-
ways should be opened to traffic each year. The plan called for the completion
in the North-western provinces of the Lung-Hai Railway, which runs from
Haichow, a seaport in Northern Kiangsu, west to Sian, provincial capital of
Shensi. This line was extended to Paoki, 130 kilometres west of Sian, in 1936,
and extension was planned to Lanchow, the capital of Kansu province, 450
kilometres north-west of Sian. Another line from Paoki to Chengtu, the capital
of Szechwan province, about 550 kilometres south-west of Paoki, will link the
provincial capitals of Sian and Chengtu.

section of the Hunan-Kwangsi line has been completed and
Kweichow line the section Chuchow-Hsianghsing of about 60 kilometres has
already been completed, and work is proceeding on the westward extension to
Kweiyang. The Szechwan-Yunnan line is in the road-levelling stage. The road-
bed for the Chungking-Chengtu line is being prepared, while the final survey
has begun of the Yunnan-Kweichow line. An entirely new line, now under con-
struction, is the Yunnan-Burma Railway connecting Kunming and British
Burma. This line, about 700 odd kilometres in length, will serve as an import-
ant link between China and the Indian ocean coast when completed.

Roads
While details of further construction of highways since the outbreak of hos-
tilities are not available for publication, one of the most outstanding achieve-
ments in this connexion, has been the completion of the new Yunnan-Burma road.
As early as 1925 surveys were made, of the route between Yunnanfu (Kunming)
and Kweiyang, and upon completion of this section the road was extended from
Kweiyang to Chungking. The new section of the road from Kunming to Sia-
kwan was roughly constructed some few years ago, but work on the remaining
section from Siakwan to the Burma frontier was not started until after the out-
break of hostilities. The road from Kunming to the Burma frontier is some 650
miles in length. At the frontier the highway copnects with the recently improved
Burmese highway to Lashio, where railroad connexion with the port of Rangoon
via Mandalay, a distance of some 625 miles, is made. Thus freight from Ran-
goon

May theto
November, there is little doubt that in course of time all difficulties will be
overcome and that this highway, following the old trail over which Marco Polo
travelled, will be of considerable aid in opening up the Western provinces of
China.
Conditioks in 1938
Apart from the decline in China’s foreign trade and the loss in Customs
revenue collection, estimates of other property and industrial losses sustained as
a result of hostilities cover at a present only limited areas, are largely conjec-
tural and vary to an astonishing degree. In Shanghai, for instance, estimates of
losses have been various assessed at $800 million, at $1 billion and at $4 billion.
Damages at Nanking have been estimated at $246 million, and direct losses to
Chinese shipping at $70 million. Of foreign investments in China valued at the
start of hostilities at approximately U.8. $3,500 million, U.8. $800 million are
claimed to have been irrevocably lost, American losses up to July being assessed
at V.8. $200 million, British losses at probably double that figure, while losses
to German entreprises have been equally impressive.
During the three months’ hostilities in and around Shanghai, destruction
to Chinese industrial establishments is estimated to have been from 30 to 100 per
cent, according to district. Of the 90 odd Chinese cotton mills in China, 31 were
in the Shanghai area, of which 23 were damaged to varying extent. Destruction
here was not as serious as in the case of the 15 mills in industrial areas on the
Shanghai-Nanking Railway, which suffered severe losses. Out of a total of 47
Japanese cotton mills in China, 30 are located in Shanghai, but, in contrast to
the entire destruction of Japanese mills in Tsingtao, only one of the Japanese
mills in Shanghai suffered damages necessitating a stoppage of work. 197
machine dyeing, printing and weaving concerns were stated by the Dyeing and
Weaving Association to have been completely destroyed, with estimated losses of
over $9 million. Silk filatures in and around the Shanghai area suffered losses
estimated at $100 million, while at Wusih 46 filatures were damaged during the
hostilities. Estimated losses in the comparatively recent rubber industry
amounted to $5 millibn. Of the numerous bigger flour mills in China, only 15
were in Shanghai, eight of which were known to have been destroyed. Capital
invented in tobacco factories wms over $12 million. Out of the 18 bigger con-

between i million to 1 million dollars. The Kai Min Book Company’s premises
in Hohgkew, capitalised at $300,000, were completely destroyed, while some 200
small printing establishments were also ruined. Thirteen of the larger Chinese
timber mills in Nantao and eight in Chapei were damaged or destroyed. The
Shanghai Portland Cement Company, with a $2 million investment in machinery
alone, was badly damaged. The Kiangwan Chemical Works in Chapei reported
a 40 per cent loss; the Alcohol Plant at Pootung was damaged; while numerous
other chemical and paint and varnish works suffered severely. Chinese soap
works and tanneries lost extensively, while the machine-made paper industry,

representing a capital investment of over $17 million, suffered badly. The
section of Chapei at one time crowded with small machine and metal works was
entirely razed. Larger losses outside the Settlement included the Kiangnan
Dock and Engineering Company’s plant in Nantao, the Oriental Iron Works,
the Ming Ching Printing Machine Manufacturing Company in Chapei, and
the China Scientific Instrument Company’s factory at Chenju.
Damaged enterprises included many of the newer and better organised
factories, such as the China Can Company, which was destroyed with losses
estimated at $1 million, the well-equipped Chinese Educational Goods Factory
and the Da Hwa Educational Goods Factory, both of which were also destroyed.
What has taken place at Shanghai is merely an indication of what has
occurred at other occupied ports on the Yangtze Hiver, along the coast, and in
Canton—where all industrial plants, water and electricity works, the General
Post Office, and most of the city’s modern business sections were almost entirely
destroyed by fire.of China

armies, the suffered

“scorched earth” policy, and the floods in North China and in those provinces
bordering the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers. Despite all the damage sustained in
the coastal areas, much valuable equipment has been moved westward, the plants,
machinery, and staff of many industries in Chekiang, Kiangsu and Anhwei
having been transported with Government aid to zones of comparative safety in
China’s hinterland. In addition to Government aid, considerable private capital
has been invested, resulting in the opening of a new era of industrial and
agricultural development in the West and the opening of many new avenues to
trade. The losses sustained as a result of hostilities, the diversion of shipping,
the closure of the Yangtze River to navigation, the blockade of the coast, and
the bombing of towns, roads and railways were incalculably heavy.

TIENTSIN
^ ^ Tien-tsin
Tientsin—or the Ford of Heaven, according to the Chinese meaning of its
name—may now well be called the commercial capital of North China. Situated
at the junction of the Grand Canal and the Pei 13o in Lat. 39 deg. 4 min.
N., long. 117 deg. 4 min. E. (approx.), it is some 80 miles distant from Peking
by road and somewhat further by river. Railway connection with the capital
was established in 1897. A road between the two places, 94 miles long, was
completed towards theof end
by the inauguration of 1922,telephone
a wireless and communication was further
service on March 7th of facilitated
that year.
The expeditions of the Allies in 1858-01 greatly enhanced the importance of
the city, as it then proved to be the military key of the capital and an excel-
lent base. It was here on June 20th, 1858, that Lord Elgin signed the treaty
which was to conclude the war, but which unhappily led to its prolongation.
The famous temple in which the treaty was signed, about a mile distant from
the West gate, was destroyed by British shells in July, 1900.
Tientsin owes its early importance to its location at the northern terminus
of the Grand Canal, and its later development is mainly due to the opening
up of North China to foreign trade, to improved railway communications with
the Interior, and to the deepening of the Bar and the Hai Ho by the Hai Ho
Conservancy Board. Before the advent of steamers, however, Tientsin bad
become a flourishing centre for junk traffic, and when the tribute rice no longer
followed the Grand Canal route—owing to the shoaling of this ancient and
celebrated waterway—it

commodity ceased altogether. Early in September, 1917, the Hunho was in
flood, and, finally, the Grand Canal burst its banks a few miles west of Tien-
tsin, carrying away the main line of the Tientsin-Pukow Railway, _ which re-
sulted in the (Concessions being flooded before much warning of the impending
danger could be given. The Municipal authorities of the various Concessions
dealt with the problem in a prompt and pubiic-spirited manner, and it was
ultimately decided to enclose the submerged Concessions with a dyke and pump
out the flood waters therefrom. The lengths of the various dykes in miles
were approximately as followsChinese (ex-German) 0.47; British, 140;
French and British, 0.87; French, 0.32; Japanese, 2.27; total, 6.33 miles.
Powerful pumps were then erected, and the whole undertaking for the British
and French Concessions was successfully and expeditiously completed in a
fortnight. It took longer to clear the Japanese Concession, however, where
the water was from 7 to 10 feet deep in places. It is estimated that over 15,000
square miles of the most populous part of the Chihli province between Pao-
tingfu and Tientsin were flooded, and it has been calculated that crops to the
value
rangingof from
$100,000,000
hamlets were utterly
to large lost, were
villages, and that 80,000 groups of dwellings,
destroyed.

the Tientsinese were notorious throughout the empire, and, as he made the
city his chief residence and the centre of his many experiments in military
and naval education, it came to be regarded as the focus of the new learning
and national reform. The foreign affairs of China were practically directed
from Tientsin during the two decades 1874-94.
TIENTSIN A3I
The city will ever be infamous to Europeans from the massacre of the
French Sisters of Mercy and other foreigners on June 21st, 1870, in which
the most appalling brutality was exhibited; as usual, the political agitators
who instigated the riot got off. The Roman Catholic Cathedral/which was
destroyed on that occasion, was rebuilt, and the new building was consecrated
in 1897, only again to fall a victim to Boxer fury in 1900. The building occu-

The population was 1,388,747 in 1929. The city walls were quadrate and
extended about 4,000 feet in the direction of each cardinal point; during the
year 1901 they were entirely demolished and replaced by fine open boulevards
under the orders of the Foreign Military Provisional-Government. This body
has further bunded the whole of the Hai Ho (Pei-ho) and effected numberless
other urban improvements. The advent of foreigners caused a great increase
in the value of real estate all over Tientsin.
Li Hung-chang authorised Mr. Tong King-seng to sink a coal shaft at
Tong Shan (60 miles N.E. of Tientsin) in the ’seventies; this was done and
proved the precursor of a railway, which was later extended to iShanhaikwan
for military purposes, and from thence round the Gulf of Liautung to Kin-
chow; 1900 saw this line pushed on to Newchwang. In 1897 the line to Peking
was opened, and proved such a success that the line had to be doubled in
1898-9. A side station for the Tientsin City was opened in 1904, and in 1905
the station was built of white sandstone bricks made at Huangtsun by an
Italian called Marzoli, who had opened a brick factory on a large scale.
From Feng-tai, about 7 miles from the capital, the trans-continental line to
Hankow branches off. This line was completed and opened to traffic in Novem-
ber, 1905. In 1900 the violence of the Boxers was chiefly directed against the
railways, all of which were more or less destroyed, but under British. French,
and Russian military administration they were afterwards all restored to
their- former efficiency.
Foreigners formerly lived in three concessions—-British, French and Ger-
man—which fringed the river below the city and covered an area of less than
500 acres. The Japanese took up a concession in accordance with the terms
of the Treaty of Shimonoseki. They filled in land, laid out new streets and
built a large number of houses in foreign style. During 1901 Russia, Belgium,
Italy, and Austro-Hungary all appropriated large areas on the left bank of
the Hai-ho as future Settlements, while the existing concessions extended their
boundaries considerably. These developments: for some time threw all
landing facilities for direct sea-going traffic into foreign hands.
In 1917, upon the entry of China into the Great War, the Chinese reco-
vered control over the German and Austrian concessions, in 1920 over the
Russian, and in 1929 over the Belgian. The general deterioration in the
maintenance and in the public services of these areas since their rendition
to China (with the exception of the Belgian concession which had never been
developed at all) is most- noticeable. The administration of all these areas
is now entirely in the hands of Chinese officials and no voice therein is al-

grounds of 10 acres and over here have' been developed, in which tennis-courts,
etc., have been laid out. The various British areas—known as the British
Concess'on, British Extension, and the Extra-Mural Area—have been amal-
gamated to form one Municipal Area under a Council elected on a broad
franchise. New land regulations Have come into force, and it is stipulated

mum qualification for any voter, irrespective of nationality, is the payment
of Tls. 200 per annum in respect of land-tax or rental assessment tax or the
occupation of premises of an assessed annual rental value of Tls. 600.
A feature of Tientsin which arrests the attention of visitors is the open-air
storage of cargo on the British and French Bunds, which have thus become in
effect a ‘general godown." A great deal of confusion and congestion formerly
existed from this practice, but the British Municipality has since elaborated
an excellent scheme whereby the Bund is divided into numbered steamer-sec-
tions and storage-spaces, and the roadway is now kept clear of cargo. The
result has more than justified expectations, and the orderly storage of goods
in marked-off spaces not only allows a proper control to be kept over all such
cargo but has facilitated communications by keeping the carriage-way clear
of obstructions.
The Racecourse is situated about 3 miles to the west of the Gordon Hall
and comprises a very valuable property of about 1,227 mow of land. New
betting buildings of reinforced concrete, which surpass anything of the
description in the Far East, were constructed in 1921.
In spite of the general trade depression, the Chinese Government Tele-
phone Administration registered an increase both in activity and in revenue
for the year 1930. An extension of lines was made in the west end of the na-
tive city in May, and another was made in the Hopei district in December.
There was a partial change to automatic machines, which are greatly appre-
ciated by (the subscribers. At present there are 11 long-distance lines operate
ing between Tientsin and places as far afield as Peiping and Shenyang, while
a relay service was established between Tientsin and Antung, Dairen. Port
Arthur, and Japan.

kilogrammes in the import of artificial silk floss and yarn and from $769,562
to $4,938,525 in arrivals of artificial silk piece-goods was attributed to the
reduction in, duty and the cessation of smuggling. The increased value of
metals and ores from $13.3 million to $16.5 million was due more to an
increase in price than to a bigger volume of trade. With a building boom,
demand for structural steel was especially firm, but owing to high prices
domestic materials were used wherever possible. Imports of machinery and
tools reached an unprecedentedly high figure, many types of mining and
agricultural machinery being granted examption from duty. Textile machinery
and parts imported were valued at $7.3 million, an increase of over 100 per
cent, heavy shipments being destined for the new Japanese cotton mills now
under construction. The import of locomotives and tenders and railway and
tramway carriages and wagons declined to negligible quantities. Motor trucks
and cars, on the other hand, showed substantial increases, the former
advancing from 469 to 756 units and the latter from 234 to 299 units. Under

wireless apparatus and materials was later modified to allow the import of
receiving sets with a capacity of from 550 to 1,500 kilocycles. Fishery and
"sea products reached the record value 'of $2.3 million as compared with $0.5
million in 1937, Japan supplying 87 per cent. Import of tea increased from
10,178 to 846,551 kilogrammes, of which 836,949 kilogrammes came from Japan.
Imports of sugar, which in 1936 totalled only 19,043 quintals, rose to 484,074
quintals, Japan being the chief importer of refined sugar, with the trade in
other varieties about equally divided between Netherlands India and Japan.
Chemicals formerly supplied from Europe are now almost exclusively derived
from Japan. Among the principal items in this group is sulphate of ammonia,
which increased from 111,979 to 188'.569 quintals, of which Germany contributed
53,876 quintals, Japan 49,048 quintals, Great Britain 39,982 quintals, and the
Kwantung Leased Territory 11,099 quintals. In H937 over 80 per cent of the
business was shared between Great Britain and Germany. Imports of soda
ash totalled 81,509 quintals, supplies from Great Britain falling from 95,292
to 50,200 quintals, with those from Japan increasing from 32 to 22,727 quintals.
Shipment from Japan of mixed fertilisers virtually monopolised the trade.
Prices of dyestuffs were comparetively high, and in many instances imports
showed a much greater gain in value than in quantity. Aniline and other
coal tar dyes increased in value, Germany being the leading importer, with
Japan increasing her share nearly fourfold. Artificial indigo imported
totalled 758,756 kilogrammes as against 551,918 kilogrammes, but sulphur
black failed to maintain the preceding year’s level. Actual consumption of

interior with the consequent interruption of communications caused a
considerable drop in the consumption of kerosene oil; imports, however, stood
at 74,306, 374 litres as compared with 44,922,144 litres in 1937 and 77,246,549
Utres in 1936, the decline in smuggling accounting for a greater total of
legitimate importations, while a new feature has been the influx of kerosene
from Japan and Korea, totalling respectively 6,910,737 litres and 2,481,832
litres. Gasolene, naphtha and benzine imports totalled 12,513,858 litres as
compared with 11,855,219 litres in 1937 and 12,230,929 litres in 1936. British
and American importers suffered from the fact that transportation in areas
under Japanese occupation was controlled by, the Japanese and the gasolene
consumed .by the various motor-bus companies was mainly obtained from
Japanese sources. Import of liquid fuel and lubricating oil totalling 3,697,223
litres, of which 1,826,701 litres came from America, with 1,233,202 litres and
435,226 litres from Japan and the Kwantung Leased Territory respectively.
Japanese paper products continued to dominate the market. Imports of timber
A34 TIENTSIN
continued to increase, there being enhanced demand for construction purposes,
partihulafly in connexion with new cotton mills. Under the grhup cereals
and flour, imports valued at S6’4.1 million as compared with $1.7 million
only during 1937. Owing to the failuft of file previous year’s crop as a result
of the floods and to unsettled conditions, Tientsin had to depend on foreign
supplies Of rice and wheat flour. Of rice and paddy 846,153 quintals were
imported during the year as against ;8,374 quintals in 1937, Siam being the
largest supplier with 484,517 quintals, with Japan and Korea following with
122,594 and 68,749 quintals respectively. Of wheat flour 2,076,580 quintals
were imported, of which 1,095,394 quintals came from Japan, 890,318 quintals
from Australia, and 66,983 quintals from America. The abolition of import
duty on flour early in the year afforded foreign importers the opportunity
'to participate in the North /China’market, AustraJianflouf being the first
'to arrive and, owing to its fine quality, winning much favour among
consumers. The American product, also made considerable headway.

the
export duty rates on bristles, hair and wool were reduced by one-half to
two-thirds. Favourable exchange alsp, gave a favourable impetus to the
export trade, while, owing to interference with the export trade at Tsingtao,
much cargo usually shipped from that port was diverted to Tientsin. Of
total exports abroad valued as abo-ve, $78.2 million worth was on Japanese
account. It should be noted that favourable conditions did not exist in all
items of export and that the primary increase was due to the shipment of
raw cotton, which alone showed a gain in value of $62 million. In the latter
half of the year, moreover, the contemplated control of exports came as a
blow to exporters, while much has been heard of the enforcement of a "link
system” of imports and exports in North China, a measure deemed necessary
to bolster the new currenpy. The total value of egg and egg products was
well maintained, being $ll.4 million for 1938. as compared with $11.5 million
for 1937. One of the outstanding features of the trade was the falling-off in
shipments to the United States of America. During 1937 America took 6,605

a great handicap to exporters. Seeds of various kinds exported during 1938
were valued at $8.8 million as against $6.3 million. German and British
purchases of apricot seed exceeding those of 1937, with the export of cotton
seed, practically all to Japan, totalling 463,640 quintals, the duty on this
article as on linseed being abolished early in the year. Linseed, however,
failed to react to this measure of encouragement only 72,303 quintals being
shipped as compared with 121,791 quintals in 1937 and 368,100 quintals in
19:56. Australia, the principal buyer, disappeared from the market, while
shipments to America were negligible. Japan, on the contrary, monopolised
the trade by taking 99 per cent of total shipment. Groundnuts, in shell and
shelled, showed substantial increases, the former advancing from 14,626 to

through Tientsin amounted to 4 million kilogrammes only, as compared with
11.6 million kilogrammes in 1937 and 16.4 million kilogrammes in 1936. The
export duty on all kinds of wool was reduced from 5 to 2.1 per cent. The
major decline occurred in sheep’s wool, which fell from 10.5 million to under
3 million kilogrammes, shipments to the United States of America falling
from 7 million to 60,000 kilogrammes. American carpet mills continued to
be pathetic towards North China wool, while a virtual monopoly in the
interior militated against other than Japanese and German interests. In
spite of adverse conditions the export of woollen carpets and rugs fell off
but slightly, being valued at $5.6 million as against $6.9 million in 1937.
The abolition of the export duty on bristles, the fall in exchange, and the
interruption of trade at other centres favoured the export of this commodity,
of which 16,699 quintals were exported, the United States of America taking
9,511 quintals, Germany 3,176 quintals, and Great Britain 2,148 quintals.
Cotton production turned out to be in excess of expectation, exports of raw
cotton totalling 1,165,290 quintals valued at $86 million, as compared with
284,070 quintals only in 1037. As was to be expected, Japan took the lion’s
•share of 824,336 quintals, followed by the Kwantung Leased Territory with
143,630 quintals. Next in order of importance followed the United States
of America with 82,574 quintals, Korea with 64,049 quintals, and Germany
with 35,997 quintals. The area under cotton cultivation in the province of
Hopeh during 1938 was estimated to be 7,272,177 mow, with a total annual
production of 1,813,990 piculs. Regulations promulgated by the “Provisional
Government” on the 30th, November affect not only cotton exports to foreign
countries but also those to places outside the area controlled by the
“Provisional Government,” while all exports must be accompanied by permits
issued by the Ministry of Industry. Cultivation qf. raw cotton in North
China on an enlarged scale is one of the foremost objectives of the Japanese
authorities. Exports of salt to Japan totalled 3,431,300 quintals as against
1,994 quintals during the preceding year. The export of straw braid to
France and the United States of America showed an improvement.
The total output of Kailan Mines, was estimated to be 4,803,000 tons.
With increasing demands from Japanese, the administration has decided to
increase output from 5,500,000 to 6,500,000 tons. The increased production
of coal is one of the ultimate objects of the Japanese authorities in North
China, the operation of nearly all important coal mines, with the exception
of the Kailan and Tatung Mines, being entrusted to the North China
Development Company. Similarly with other industrial development, the
North China Development Company is intended to take the leading role,
being capitalised at Yen 360.000,000, of which Yen 175.000,000 is to be invested
by the Japanese Government.
A36 TIENTSIN
In 1938 Chinese and foreign flag vessels trading with Tientsin ran to a
grand total of 5,670,559 tons as compared with 4,389,803 tons in 1937. Japanese
vessels entering and clearing totalled 2,292, 607 tons, exceeding the figures
for 1937 by nearly 1,000,000 tons, of which 2,085,832 tons represented direct
vessels and 206,775 tons coastwise sailings. The British flag was relegated to
second place, although total tonnage increased from 1,464,000 to 1,763,461
tons, of which 1,355,706 tons was coastwise. As was to be expected, Chinese
tonnage fell from 818,635 to 287,296 tons.
