Telegram Sent To Nanking

(From Our Special Correspondent)

Canton, Nov. 7. The South-west Politieni Council in its telegram to Nanking yester- day requested the Central Authori- ties to cancel its project of en- larging the Kowloon Chinese Cus- boms on the ground that the trade of this province will be ruined by this project.

*Your justification is to prevent smuggling from Hong Kong to places in this province," the tele- gram said. “Buch enlargement of the Kowloon customs does not check'smuggling at all, because Macao and Kwangchouwan are also, free ports, from which smuggled goods can be imported into Kwang- tung.

Without giving any detafied ex- planation. the telegram averred that after the enlargement of the Kowloon customs, Chinese factories will either be moved, to Hong Kong or closed up. All export and im- port. firms, will be set up in Hong Kong, and then all the warehouses in the interior or Canton have no further use, as all goods are stored up in Hong Kong.

Without this transit trade, many. of the banks here will suffer heavy losses. The whole province will be adversely affected by this scherae of the Ministry of Finance, continued the telegram. Because the South-west Political Council is in Canton, it claims to understand the conditions here very well.
