to the Far Eastern Division of the Department of Commerce, just made public.

For the ten-year period preceding the 19-20", the island's total foreign trade averaged approximately 977,000,000 each year. During the war years this ad vanced to 8124,000,000 and in six years since the war it has risen to $227,000,000 annually. In view of the business de- Ipression which inevitably followed in the wake of abnormal developments of the war period, the trade of these, last six years has shown a remarkable advancë.

Considering the Philippines' import trade, the total value of purchases abroad in 1974 exceeded that of 1813 by more than 100 per cent. Without exception, all classes of imports shared in the in-

crense.

Toas Antonio you to the formal declarations of these Bianchi, Portugal, and the empty Chinese delegates at the Paris Pence avat of Sweden, the Swedish Commis Conference and the Washington Confer siener, Baron Carl Leijonhufud being ill. On the left of Dr.Wang Chung Hui going the other way round the table were -Mr Strawn, America, M. Toussaint, France, M. de Rossi, Italy, M. D. A de Kat Angelino, Netherlands, an empty seat for Peru, whose Commissioner had not reached Peking in time to be present and Don Muur! Acal-y Marin Spain.

It has been the policy of the Chinese Government to obtain the relinquishment of Extraterritorial rights by the foreign Powers. In pursuance of this policy China has steadfastly introduced reforms into her legal system, Several codes, modelled upon Western lines, have been promulgated, while the work of codifica tion which das been going on for the last twenty years will soon be completed. A new system of law courts has been estab- lished in which the judges are all trained lawyers, and modern prisons have been erected in different parts of the country. Such facts show the sincerity of the Chinese Government in adapting China's legal system to western jurisprudence. This sincerity will, I trust, be duly appre; ciated by the Commission.

The second largest group of importe, foodstuffsy holds practically the same ratio to total imports in 1924 as a 1923, or 24 per cent, against 23.5 per cent. in the former year. For a country that is mainly agricultural, the amount of food- stuffs annually imported is surprisingly large. Concentration on the production

I do not wish to anticipate in any way of important staples for export, however, either the report or the recommendations has curtailed the output of foodstuffs for which the Commission will have to make, domestic consumption and it is probable but this much it seems to me, will emergo with the ever-increasing clearness, that that the islands will long remain a mar- ket for foodstuffs of foreign manufacture. the Extraterritorial régime in China has Although the cultivation of rice con- outlived its usefulness, and that the stitutes the most important native agri- new international spirit now prevailing cultural pursuit, rice is the chief food-throughout the world will influence the stuff imported, amounting to nearly one

Iron and steel manufactures constitute the third largest group of Philippine im. ports. In 1924 iron and steel imports abowed an increase of 39 per cont. over similar imports the previous year, and accounted for twelve per cent, of the islands' total import" trade, compared with fifteen per cent, of the total in 1913.. More than 80 per cent. of the iron and steel products bought by the Philippines come from - the "United States. The United Kingdom and Germany follow in this trade, the former with five per cent. of the total in 1924 and Germany" with 4.7 per cent, in 1923.

·

In 1924 the total value of ten mis- cellaneous commodities next in order of importance to the above amounted to 816,000,000 which was considerably moro than twice their total value in 1913, This is indicative of the gradual but steady advancement in living standards and the desire for an ever-increasing variety of foreign specialties. The expansion of kuch markets will undoubtedly play a large part in the fature trade develop

We have been informed of various re forms effected by Ching during the prat twenty years in her judicial system. I has always been gratifying to us to witness any progress achieved by China. The eagerness of the Chinese people for the abolition of extraterritorality is readily appreciated by all of us, and we sincerely hope that the prescht enquiry will enable us to indicate how soon and in what manner this great end may, be attained.

We are engaged in tb service of a common cause. Wo enter upon our task with the best of intentions, and iă& spirit of amity, impartiality and co operation.
