Peiping, Tsinan and other import COL. WANG ACCUSED ant ports. The petitions urged that inasmuch as China had already recovered complete tariff autonomy. a new law should be anacted to de- hue the powers and functions of the Maritime Customs. The petitions since the also pointed out that Maritime Custom Houses are ad- ministrative organs of the Gov-! crament, the method of redress pro- vided by the Law of Petition would also be applicable in all cases of illegal or improper actions of the
Maritime Customs Authorities.
Bequal to Smuggling.
In this connection, it will be re- called that as a result of a series of raids which the Shanghai Cuis toms authorities made some time ago on certain watch and jewelry stores in search of smuggled goods, the Greater Shanghai Chamber, of Commerce and the various guilds in Shanghai were moved by those in- terested to send a delegation to Nanking to voice their alleged grie vances.--Kuo Min.
