When Mr. Y. Suma was consul general for Japan in Canton, he sald that Japanese residents throughout China did not pay bust-
ness tax and that it would be dificult to add special obligation on local Japanese firms. The Bri- tish view is that there is 20 pro- vision in treaties between China and Britain requiring British trad- ers to pay such tax...
