"THE POLICE AND THE. "CAPTAIN,

OBOSS-EXAMINATION UP TO DATE.. HOW JAPANESE OFFICIALS WASTE

TIME.

A British Captain writes to say that he was much interested in the article on the bumptionmess of Japanese Customs officers, recently appearing in the Japan Chronici", He says he can vonch for this truth of the statements made from personal experience, and thinks that an example of officia) in- pertinence to which he was exposed ar Wakamata may prove of interest.

On arrival at. Wakamatsu [be wity]. I' interviewed the various official Custom. Police, Health Officers, etc. in quite a

friendly manner. When my charterers (thr Yamashita Mining Co.) came on board I expressed & wish to go into Shimonoseki the next day to interview the British Connul and he arranged to come for me at 8.30 am. About 7.30 h.. a Japanese police officer came to my door, accompanied by acother man in a kimond, whom I took to be a sampan man, bat who was introduced to me as a detective, and the following con- versation (which I shall give you, ja dia-, logue form) earned:-

Police Officer: You intend going to Shimonoseki to-day, Captaint.

1. Yes, Why I

P.O. I am very sorry for you, but". you cannot go there without a permit from

the Government, and it will be very dif-

Acult to get a permit for today, as th Government is 40 miles away.

1: I thought you told me yesterday that I could go share without a permit

P.O. Yes, to Wakamate, but not t

Maji or Shimonoseki; our rules are very

strict.

He then set down, pulled a book and pencil out of his pocket and commenced with:-

P.Q.: How old are you?

I: 57.

Ah! you look very young for your age.

The two then had a long confab in Japanese at the end of which:-

It seems a bit ridiculous that after trading to Japan for twenty-seven years more or less, and for the last seventeen years regularly, I should be put to an nanoying cross-examination of this sort.

IMPERIAL PREFERENCE.

COLONIES CONSULTED.

Colonel Leslie Wilson, in a written reply, informs Captain W. Bean, M. P., that an Finvitadion to consider the practicability of preferential rates for goods of Imperial origin has been addressed to all Colonies and Protectorates except those which are precluded by existing international agres- ments from doing so, a few others in

and which preference is already in force or from special circumstances inapplicable. Replies have been received so far Hongkong and Sierra. which preference is both of from Cyprus, where legislation on the sub cet has been passed; and from Mauritius, Trinidad Jamaica, British Guiana, the Windward and Leeward Islands, and Bri- tishTM Honduras, in all of which the ques fjon is being considered.
