RESULTS OF THE CHINESE NEGOTIATIONS.

INTERVIEW WITH ME, BRENAN:

Mr. Byron Brouau, C.M.G. recently British Consul-General at Shanghai, has accorded an interview to Renter's representative. In reply to questions Mr. Brenan said:

The Chins League is gratified to learn that His Majesty's Government do not differ from it in to the necessity of enforcing this latter clause, and, therefore, leaves the matter in your Lordship's hands with confitence.

The China League is well aware that periodi- cal revision of the Tariff of 1959 is provided for under Article XXVII of the Treaty of Tientsin, hut was unaware that the Chinese Government had given, within six months after the expiry of the fourth decade, the formal notice then due in terms of the Article in question.

A precedent for the revision of the Tariff by means of a Treaty nay he found in Article XXVI of the Treaty of Tientsin which revises the Tariff fixed by Article X of the Treaty of Nenking on the identical grounds on which revision is called for to-day.

The desirability of the improvement of the approaches of the Paiho and Yanglaze Rivers may be great from a local point of view. In expressing its opinion on the inadequacy of such concessions in return for increased import duties, the China League had in mind the interests of the whole commercial community at home and abroad interested in the China Trade.

I would point out that the increased import duties are leviable on the traders of all the Treaty Ports in Chius, while the benefits accord-winning matches. ing from the conservancy of the Rivers Peiho and Yangleze fall to the traders and landowners of Tientsin and Shaugli al-ne.

At one time the people belief that the foreign Powers pulled together. Now they know from personal observation that this is not so, and they feel that the scramble for Uhion has already begun, But beyond this unveiling of our divergent interests, the Chiness have also had an object-lesson in the powerlessness of united Europe to put effective prossure on the country.

The China League, 20th August, 1901. MY LORD,It has been represented to the China Leagan that some hardship and loss will inevitably fall upon traders in China it, as has been stated, the ineensed import duties are leviable on all merchandise shipped from hence 10 days after signing of the Protoral.

It is pointed out to the China Longue that a very large proportion of the import business in China is now carried on by means of "forward contracts," Le, merchants in China, buy from manufacturers and others in Europe goods for delivery on certain specified future dates, three, six or nine months ahead as the varying condi tious of the China markets require; that usually on conclusion of such contracts the foreign merchant sells to the native dealse un sitilar conditions as to delivery of goods, and the

natiye döaler makes his arrangements to supply his markes in the interior. Further, that as a partial increase in the duty was certainly not expected, and as an increase to 10 per cent. was understood to be contingent on drastic reforms, most of the contracts now running were male on the old basis of daty and loss caused by an incroused duty will have to Le borne by the foreign merchants.

The raising of the Import Tariff to an effective 5 per cent means an increase of 3 per cent. in the duty on some classes of fine cotton go de and if it is to be levied on all outstanding contracts will entail heavy losses. The fact that the Imperial Government of China require funda to neot obligations im posed upon them as a penalty for their wrong

on British traders.

In presenting is justified in asking your Lordship to give every possible consideration to these repre. sentations and as full a period of grace for the above described contracts as is consistent with justice and fair dealing.
