It was but a few weeks after the terms of the Treaty had become public properly that we urged an amendment of the document providing for some alternative whereby the position of British goods, as far as intand circulation is concerned, should be clearly stated and definitely defined. This could be effected by reverting to the Transit Pass clauses of the Tientsin Treaty, which provides that upon payment of an import duty of 5 per cent, and transit dues of 4 per cent, foreign goods shall be free from any further inland taxation whatever.
