CUSTOMS HEAD IN SHANGHAI
MR. L. H. LAWFORD, COM- MISSIONER OF CUSTOMS IN SHANGHAI, WHOSE TERM OF OFFICE IS DUE TO EXPIRE SOME TIME THIS MONTH, HAS BEEN RE-APPOINTED BY SIR+ FREDERICK MAZE. INSPEC- TOR-GENERAL OF THE CHIN- ESE MARITIME CUSTOMS, FOR ANOTHER TERM, REPORTS THE "SHUN PAO."
The local Japanese Press re- cently gave prominence to re- ports that Mr. Lawford's term of office was due to expire, hinting that a Japanese appointee would secure the post.
Re-appointment of Mr. Law- ford is justified by the precedent set by the re-appointment of the Commissioner, of Customs in Tientsin. Reuter.
