UNKEFORMED TAXATION,
Results of this character, purposely stated without any embellishment, are not, I think, a bad harvest. There are obvious limits to what any Cham- ber of Commerce, or Associations of Chambers of Commerce, can do. They cannot, for example, alter the struc-
tain and is Tientsin beter able to communicate its views to Hankow? Do Harbin "aud Mukden feel less far away than they used to feel and do British merchante in Hongkong, who live under the British flag, feel that they have a corporate interest in the affairs of less fortunate British merchants in the Far East? If those questions can be answered in the affirmative I think that this Associa- tion is more than justifying its existence.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF SHIFOWNERS.
To turn now to matters which were left last year to the Shanghai Chamber to deal with. At last year's Con- ference it was resolved to appoint a committee to inquire into and make recommendations to this Association on all questions relating to the term shipment" and to the responsibilities of shipowners under bills of lading. The committee appointed consisted of

· Admiral Sir Alexander Duff, H.M. Commander-in-Chief on the China Station, is also unable to be present. Sir Alexander's keen interest in the affairs of this Association was shown last year and I feel sure that, had be been able to come, he would have done so. The absence of auch distinguished visitors is deeply regretted.

In August, H. M. Consul-General wrote to us as follows:--
