He suggests that the words in Article
XVI (c) "Such goods shall also be re-admitted into
China free of coast trade duty if cpast trade duty
is hereafter abolished" should be omitted as being

He further suggests that the last sentence
in Article XVI (d) be omitted, as it is not desired
to provide for any such drawback.

likely to be re-exported to Hong Kong and sent
thence to foreign countries.
His Britannic Majesty's Minister
PEKING.
I am informed that
