tions. What steps are contemplated in respect of tariff autonomy, the Customs service, the salt adminis- tration, and the large sums of money still owing for construction schemes of the past? We have promised the revision of the 30 called unequal treaties. Do the Nationalists expect those safe guards, under which their foreign trade has flourished for so many years, to be removed at one stroke of the pen, or are they prepared that they should be withdrawn gradually and cautiously? In mediate removal would probably result in the total ruin of China's foreign trade, and while that would be a disaster to British interests, it would be a far greater calamity for China, for without it she has but little security to offer for the money she will inevitably require for reconstruction schemes in the future. Burely, therefore, the time is not yet ripe for British par ticipation in these reconstruction schemes; it is essential to await further developmenta, and to ürst make sure not only that a sane, long-sighted policy prevails over the counsels of those who are out for money at once at any price, but that that policy becomes a practical workable proposition.

At the Club, run by the bookmaker, I have watched the betting carefully and estimate that £1,500 a day or about £8,000 a week is taken. It is obvious they are dodging about £250, a week in taxation.
This, to my knowledge, can be multiplied many times. You can work out for yourself that eight such clubs would rob the Chan- cellor of more than £100,000 a year, and you know as well as I do that this eum is a very low estimate.
