13th June, 1930.

Dear Mr. kase,

establishments,

I am much indebted to you for your confi-

dential letter of the 2nd of June, on the subject

of the extension of the control of the Maritime

Customs Administration over certain Native Custome

ishments, in which you were good enough to

forward copies of circulars, giving a list of the

Hative Customs stations and sub-stations you have

taken over, and a report by ur. Hayley Bell of his tour of investigation along the coast between 3watow

and Fooɑhow.

2. I have read these documents with very great

interest and I share your view that this movement is important as indicating possible new channels of

development for the trade in foreign goods.

7.E. Xase, Esquire,

Inspector General of Customs,

Shanghai.

Yours sincerely,

(Sgd.)

MILES LAMPSON.
