Tokyo, To-day.
Reduction of the "unreasonably high Customs rates" on Japanese-made products, will form one of the basic and principle tariff revisions planned by the "provisional Chinese govern- ment," according to reports from Peiping.
THE “PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT ALSO INTENDS TO SLASH IMPORT DUTIES IN GOODS OF DAILY NECES- SITY AND COMMODITIES REQUIRED FOR ECONOMIC REHABILITATION OF NORTH CHINA.
Officials in Peiping yesterday re- vealed that tariff rates on products "which can
smuggled easily be
into North China," will also be cut, 80 as to check the activities of contrabandists.
It is emphasised that Manchukuo will be regarded as a foreign-coun- try in revising the tariff schedule. The new regime at present con- trols the Customs offices at Chin- wangtao, Tientsin and Tsingtao.- Reuter.

At an extraordinary session of the Japanese Provincial Governors yesterday afternoon, the Premier, Prince Konoye, again explained the Japanese standpoint as regards the present situation in the Sino-Japan- ese conflict and enunciated the gen eral principles for "spiritual mo- bilisation” of the Japanese people on entering a new stage of the Sino- THE MOST UNUSUAL & THRILLING PICTURE OF THE YEAR! Japanese conflict.
The Chinese National Govern- had ment, explained the Premier, taken into account neither the con- ciliatory attitude of the Japanese nor, the good services of Germany but had openly adopted a pro-Soviet Russian and pro-Communist policy.
Japan would now regulate Sino- Japanese relations with the new re- gime in China and would build up an entirely new China.
