A number of important and very difficult ques tons remain for your new Commitice to grapple with.
First and foremost is the infringement of In- ternational treaties. There is not a doubt that the Chinese Government during 1893, encroached upon our treaty rights, and tempered with thele
bilgations under the Chef:o Convention...
During 1890, Sir Chaloner Alabaster succeed- ed in gaining partial recognition of our right to send goods from Canion into the interior under Tran it pass, but the Provincial amberities soon took alarm at a change that threatened to inter fere with the native customs levies, which so seriously fetter loland trade, and they began in December 1891, a systematic attempt to crash our rights. How have they succeeded? The Transit-pass trade from Canton in 1890 wax Tis. 195,117, in 1891 It had grown to Tia, 1,741.864 ; whereas in 1892 It had dwindled down to Tis. 406695; and the fairg off Is.. certain to be still more marked in 1893.
The Acting Consul General who succes led Sir C. Alabaster states in bis ant report-4a sho Peking officials and the Mandarins generally are violently opposed to the Transit l'ass system and resort to all kinds of expedients to prevent its ure from becoming general; and the Com- missioner of Customs at Canton attributed the great increase in the Import trade of rägt to the facilities the Transit-passes secured,"—and drew a strong talerence "as to the extent to which, with fighter isxation and unfettered trans province could be increased."
The Transit trade, could possibly support additonal taxation if greater facilities and pri- vileges were conceded. If a fixed Likin dasty could be arranged payable co catry, simulta seenely with the import duty, thus freeing Forelgs Imports from all further taxation inland, as is now done in the case with oplum such an arrangement might concillate the exigencies of the provincial revenus, It certainly would do much to ensure the expansion of Foreign Trade.
