A SINO-JAPANESE CUSTOMS TREATY.

PROTEST BY CHINESE CHAMBER

OF COMMERCE.

ASIATIC NEWS SERVICE]"

Pexis, April sth. With reference to the proposed re- ciprocal customs rate treaty between China and Japan, the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce has received a joint telegram from the Chinese chambers of commerce at Nanking and Anking Proteating against the conclusion of any rate treaty with Japan or any other country without the previous concurrence: of the United General Chamber of Com merce at Shanghai. - ́

In the telegram, the senderat pointed out that, with the exception of cotton," iron and grains, not one of the numerous Chinese products has been included in the list of Chinese merchandise, while Japanese manufactures are specially men- tioned; so that the proposed reciprocal rate treaty is a mere repetition of the one-sided Sino-Foreign commercial treaties which, if concluded, will surely prove to be disadvantageous to the in- tercet of the Chinese marchants.

Further, in view of the rapid and con stant changes and improvements in mo- dern industry and commerce, the ten years limit of the proposed rate treaty of reciprocity is considered by the sens ders to be too long. In conclusion, the senders demand that as the negotiation! of reciprocal customs rate treaties with Japan and other Powers directly concera the interest of the Chinese merchants and dealers, they will not recognize any stipulation which has been concluded with foreign delegations without the pre vious concurrence of the United Generali Chamber of Commerce.
