THE HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, TUESDAY, MARCH 18, 1930,
A NEW STATISTICAL OFFICE.
FULL RECORDS OF COLONY'S IMPORTS AND
EXPORTS TO BE KEPT.
MR. W. SCHOFIELD'S APPEAL FOR
PUBLIC CO-OPERATION.
A new statistical branch of the Imports and Exports Office will be opened on April 1, in Beaconsfield Arcade, and we under- stand that the system to be followed by merchants in making returns, will be very similar to, though more up-to-date than that which was in force up till 1025. A special appeal is made to im porters and exporters to co-operate in making this innovation- or rather revival-a success. It is hoped to publish monthly and anaual reports, dealing with the whole of Hong Kong's trade- with Canton, the West River and the Coast as well as goods hand- led by deep sea' ships.
Interviewed by our representative on the matter, Mr. W. Schofield, Assistant Superintendent of Imports and Exports, said:
TO START ON APRIL 1.
"The system of collecting trade statistics which is about to be tried differs a good deal from the permit system employed up to 1023. Then
Duties of Owners, Mästers and Compradores, "The other regulations define the duties of ship owners, masters and compradores with regard to de- alivering manifests to this office, and reporting consignees or consignors names and addresses.
merchant had to make out permit and send it to the Statistics Office before he could take delivery of goods or send them to a ship for export. The present system may be called a port event or post declaration: for importers and ex porters will not be required to make any report or return till they have received or dispatched their goods.
"With certain exceptions, every article imported into the Colony whether on order or by trader travel ling with his goods, has, in less than seven days, to be reported to the statistics office by the importer on the import declaration form, provided by this office. The seven days are to be counted from the day the importer takes delivery, not from the..arrival of the abip."
In the same way, within seven days after any article is exported the exporter mast fill up an export .declaration form showing what he has done. These forms can be ob tained at the statistics office, and when filled up, may, if desired, be sent to the office by post
"One provision framed to meet local conditions deserves some st
of certain tention. The owners ships are accustomed to charter them for very short periode, first to one firm and then to another, and unless the Statistics Office is able to keep track of these char terings it becomes impossible to find any
one able ar willing to send in manifest, it fer any reason, the charterer neglects to do it. Hence all transfers of the control of ships are in future to be reported to the Statistics office with the name and address of the transforce and in the case of charter, the duration and nature of the charter.
The goods axempted from the regulations include all through cargo remaining on the ship im- porting it, ships stores, personal luggage, articles sent through the Post Office and travellers' samples. Figures of trans-shipment cargo will be kept as far as possible.

MURDEROUS ATTACK ON TWO WOMEN.
OFFENDER UNDER
OBSERVATION.”
After a stay of two days at the Kowloon Hospital, where he was under observation as to his mental condition, Luk Son (35) unemploy ed, appeared before Mr. Whyte- Smith yesterday on a charge of causing grievious bodily harm to two Chinese women.
His Worship, after reading the doctor's certificate, intimated that he would require medical evidence. He suggested that he should treat the case as a committal one and charge the defendant with attempt- ed murder. The question of his sanity would then be investigated by the jury,
