The control of varions navigation affairs by the Customs has likewise restricted the free development of private naviga tion enterprises. As a remedy, the Ministry proposes first to establish A number of Navigation Bureaux in all treaty ports, with a view eventually to restoring the coun try's navigation rights. All private Chinese enterprises for promoting navigation in inland waters will be encouraged and protected, while meantime the Navigation Law, the Maritime Commercial Law, and other regulations relative to navi gation have been promulgated by the Government to facilitate rapid development of the shipping indus- try. What is considered of most importance is the abolition of the inland navigation rights enjoyed by various foreign countries by virtue of the unequal treaties, and the Government is said to be deter mined to safeguard its sovereignty in this respect in all future com- mercial treaties with the Powers.
