in this case was absurd.

I have no doubt that the heads of the Government Department of Indo-China are sincerely desirous of fostering the transit trade to Yunnan as much as possible. At the same time with a complicated tariff like the French and crowds of Customs officials brought up on principles of red-tape, misunderstandings are constantly liable to arise with the native traders. A considerable section of French public opinion in Tonkin is opposed to their Customs system on the ground that it prevents money from coming into the Colony and that its application renders the Administration unpopular with the natives.

For instance, Monsieur Szymauski, the Director of the Banque de l'Indo-Chine at Hanoi, in speaking to me of the misunderstanding with the Chinese referred to above, lamented the fact that although they had got the route which should give them the trade of Yunnan and Szechuen, they were likely to lose much of its benefit from the "tracasseries" of the Customs service. He mentioned as an example of such "tracasseries"

in this case was absurd.

I have no doubt that the heads of the Govern-

ment Department of Indo-China are sincerely desir-

ous of fostering the transit trade to Yunnan as much

as possible. At the same time with a complicated

tariff like the French and crowds of Customs offi-

cials brought up on principles of red-tape, misun-

derstandings are constantly liable to arise with

the native traders. A considerable section of French

public opinion in Tonkin is opposed to their Cus-

toms system on the ground that it prevents money from

coming into the Colony and that its application ren-

ders the Administration unpopular with the natives.

For instance, Monsieur Szymauski, the Director of

the Banque de l'Indo-Chine at Hanoi, in speaking to

me of the misunderstanding with the Chinese referred

to above, lamented the fact that although they had

got the route which should give them the trade of

Yunnan and Szechuen, they were likely to lose much

of its benefit from the "tracasseries" of the Cus-

toms service. He mentioned as an example of such

*tracasseries"
