CHINA'S FINANCES.
SIR E. DANE TO MANAGE LAND TAX REFORM.
In Peking, says the Daily Telegraph correspondent, grout natiufaction at is expressed at the manner in which the Chinese finance has come through 1014. The Customs revenue only shows decrease of 6,000,000 tails, although be paralysis which has overcome the kilver market makes a decrease of the gold terms amount to nearly £1,300,000. All foreign cbligations accured on the Customs revenues are fully met so December 31st by morensing the salt gabelle quotas. This latter administration is improving wonderfully under Sir Richard Danes. guidance.
Though the annual accounts for 1914 have not yet been closed, the total cor- tainly touches 850,000,000, say, £4,000,000 Only half of this amount is absorbed by the loan servicos, and the rest is handed over to the Peking Government.The. railway accounts, on which nearly £50,000,000 is secured, are eminently satis factory. The loss through the war on many lines is nearly n, and ample credits are already ready for the 1975 services. One unsatisfactory feature remains namely, the manner in which the Central Government accounts fail to balance, owing to the unreformed nature of the general provincial taxation
In this connection I have a most impor tant anouncement to make. As tho
