CLEARING HOUSE

As the financial hub of China, the plight of Shanghai is symbolle of conditions in other parts of the country and reflects the various economic crisis in the interior. Shanghai owes its important posi- tion to the fact that almost all goods intended for export or for distribution in the interior have to pass through it. In other words, Shanghai is the clearing house for foreign trade in China. In recent years, its prosperity has declined as a result of the world-wide de- pression which has seriously affected the Chinese export trade. Obviously, the Government of this country cannot do anything to im- prove external conditions. But in the sphere of domestic industries the "National Government has directed strong efforts to relieve

the situation Towards this end. the Senators and Solters for the the Government is taking steps to counteract the harmful effects of its past bond issue policy and is contemplating a tax on income.

to direct taxation is a good move on the part of the Government to- wards the relief of industry in this country.

IRREGULAR TAXES Becondly, the Government has adopted a policy of abolishing irre-- gular taxes AS a fundamental remedy of the present domestic crisis. By abolishing the miscel- laneous taxes, the cost of produc- tion will be reduced, thus enabling domestic manufacturers to com- pete with foreign industrialists. This policy has already been car- ried out to a very appreciable ex-. tent. More than 3,000 kinds of niscellaneous taxes and exorbitant levies amounting to over $40,000,000 a year had been abolished up to the present in 22 provinces and 2 municipalities, according to Mr. Kao Ping Fang, director of the re- venue department of the Ministry of Finance. These steps are taken. by the Government to help the in- dustry and commerce by stabilising agricultural conditions and doing away with miscellaneous taxes and exorbitant levies so as gradually to bring back

the prosperity to masses of the country. China United Press (by mail).
