The Chinese Customs Service now brought so prominently before the world came into existenes in 1204-having thos attained its jubiles- when the rebels- captured Shanghai and destroyed the Imperial Customs Bureau. For some time after the city was abandoned, on cyc witness writes, there was no Custom House- la operation and no officials to collect the duties on foreign trade. Owing to the ioconvenience caused to the foreign mar cantile community, the Treaty Consuls, acting with the concurrance of their respective Ministern, decided at length to constitute a joint commission for the collec tion of maritiate custom duties. Various changes bccurred, the American and French coadjutore eventually withder, and Mr. Lay was appointed sole Inspector-General! In 1869. Mr Hort (now Sie-Robert) subse. quently succeeded him, fist as ville mingi- finally as full Inspector in 1883.
Thus, from this small beginning, which was then regarded sa stemporary expedient,- has been gradually evolved, under the masterly guiding hand of Sir Robart, the splendid Customs Servico.which the Chinese mandarinate apparently now ask to sup plant.atd: wontrol by a native directorate, bich implies ravorsion to their own system of nepatism, venality, and mal-administra tion,
Apart from the Protocol essuranca piven by China in 1909, which bondholders regard as binding, that, an. Inng is British trade preponderstes, a British directorship shell: be maintained, it should not be forgotten that in the Opium Convention of 1886, agreed to by the Indian Government, Hongkong, and Macao, which provided for the simultaneous collection of duty and Zikin on opium by the forviga Customs, there by astering to the Chinese Exchequer à yoszl som of, eny, 3,500,000-tals from likiti, was stipulated as one of the conditions of this “simultaneous collectibh" that the native Customs, then "blockading" Hong- kong and Miscao, should be transferred to Robert Hart's administration; consequent. ly if China seeks to revert to the old rystem of
of control who must be prepared to lorego this larze revenue, secured by the provisions of the Convention should her Ebastened action about this important com. pect. The provincial "mandarinate would certainly approve of a reversion to the old system, but the Indian Government, Hong- kong, Macao, and the bondholders at largo must have's voice in the matter. S
If China seriously considers her own officials competent to administer the Cus tons service, they should frat be eat the
ack of modelling the pay departments of - their own army, nary, civil service, and minta on the lines of the foreign Custome instead of esenying towreck the only bonest organisation in the Chinese Empire.
