THE SHANGHAI CHAMBER OF COMMEROS HAVE ENTERED A STRONG PROTEST WITH THE CONSULAR BODY AGAINST THE SURTAXES NOW PROPOSED BY THE NANKING GOVERNMENT.

The HONG KONG WEEKLY PRESŠ gives the list of these taxes in detail.

The policy of the Nationalists appears to be gradually to secure the complete control of the Chinese Maritime Customs. They are also endeavouring in various ways to under- mine the authority of the Shanghai Municipal Council.

If their object is achieved Shanghai will follow in

the same way as Hankow,

The seriousness of the steady encroachment upon established Treaty rights is only vaguely realised in England, and as much information as possible regarding the subject should be supplied...

This information is contained in the WEEKLY PRESS which not only gives a full summary of all the more important happenings, but also explains the general trend of affairs in its relation to foreign interests.
