BIG POWERS AND SPECIAL PRIVILEGES,
PERINO, Dec. 19th. Another defnite date has been. set down to mark a new phase in the revolution of China's foreign relations. This time it is January 1st, 1930. On that data, Belgium agrees to renounce extraterri- toriality rights the special priv leges about which Nationalist China has been talking so much..
Germany and
Russia already have given up their extraterri- toriality rights-which.. permitted them to be tried in their own courts for civil or criminal offences, instead of being subject to Chinese courts and law. But these coun- tries were compelled by other Powers to surrender their privi- legen; they did not act voluntarily without outsile pressure as Bel- eium has done.

However sound the arguments" may be that Chinese courts are cor- rupt and uncertain in dispensing justice, the fact remains that one- of the treaty countries has volun- tarily signed a treaty with Nation- alist Ching giving up special rights on a specific date, subject only to the provision that the Chinese' Government make certain arrange- ments for dealing with law cases.. The history of tariff autonomy shows the effect which this specific date is likely to have..

At the Customs conference in 1925-6, it will be recalled, the repre- sentatives of the Powers there re- presented signed jointly with the Chinese delegates a preamble to a treaty, in which it, was stated that tariff autonomy would be granted to China on January lat, 1929. the internal taxes which are such China, in turn, agreed to abolish a hindrance to foreign trade. The Saturday, December 15th, by busa civil war which forced most of conference Inter broke up, due to leaving Kowloon Ferry at the Chinese delegatea to leave Peking. So the preamble to the asigned treaty had no standing in law. Nevertheless, the Chinese " have insisted that they had been promised tariff autonomy on
Jean- ary 1st, 1923, and the United States He admitted they may have it so far as they are concerned. And spite of the fact that the Chinese this progress has been made in Government has been able to do very little toward keeping its share of the bargain-abolishing internal taxes. They appear to be at least as bad as they were three years
go.

Belgium's action in igning this new treaty thus assumes new signi- ficance. Belgium's interests in China are not great, and it does not appear to matter great deal what she does or does not do. But the feeling here is that the Chinese Government win now em
