VHE MARITIME COSIOMS

It is now six months since the Decree appoint. ing Their Excellencies-Tien Liang and Tag Shao-yi Comptrollers-Genim of the Imperial Customs gave rise to the natural suspicion that a deliberate attempt was being made by the Chinese to undermine the efficiency of the one public service which could lay claim to be con- ducted honestly, and for the benefit of the Country. Outwardly and' as far as the Chinese Government was concerned the administration of the Castoms was perfectly satisfactory, and SCOTSMEN are invited to SUBSCRIBE

PICTORIAL POSTCARD STALL

IN

Queen's Road where HONGKONG VIEW POSTCARDS can be had from

made through the usual diplomatic channels to the Chinese Government, but there were couched in the mildest terms and the British Cabinet showed that it felt obliged to content itself with somewhat vagus assurances that the appointment of two Chinese Comptrollers- General did not entail interference with the administration of the Customs. In view of the interesis at stake and in the light of the nature of the new office and the immediate activity shown by the Comptrollers-General,

it was 0 source of considerable disap"

pointment throughout China to find the

British Government. so lukewarm in its championship of the policy of maintaining

the glatus quo. A possible explanation of this attitude has since been provided by " Rober Hart's circolar of September 24, in which be records his formal submission to the new règime. It is obvious that, if the Inspector. General was unwilling to adopt the only method'open to him of safeguarding bis posi Lion, he made it extremely difficult for others to bring outside pressure to bear upon the Chinese Government on the plea that the future administration of the Customs was in Jeopardy,

The position to-day, therefore, is that Sir Robert Hart has assumed responsibility for the ron-interference of the Shuiwucht in the working of the Customs administration. Te many it will be a matter for regret that any such guarantee should be based, as it were, on the span of an individual life instead of being vested with the permanence which would have resulted from action taken by the British Government in the event of the Jaspector- Genstal having handed in his, resignation im- mediately to the Chinese Government, As things are, however, it must be admitted that beyond the initial encroachment upon Sir Robert Hart's piero: alive and the inevitable waste of Customs revenue by the formation of a wholly superfluous Govenment Department, the Comptrollers-Gede al have refrained from drastic measures and bave been content with overriding the Inipector-General in relatively | minor matters. In other words they are feeling their way and are avoiding such crade mistakes as would bring down upon them certainly the united protests and possibly the active inter ference of the Powers interested in the mainten- ance of the existing efficiency and integrity of the Custom Service. Were it not for the method in which the activity of the Comp- trollers-General is displayed and for the geo- eral spirit of the moment in China, some people would-be found charitable enough to suggest that the Chinese Government is actuated merely by a desire to make itself au faft with the workings of the Customs administration in order to provide the motive power to carry os without any hiatus, when ir Robert Hart re

Inasmuch an finquishes his present post, circumstances exclude this specious explana. tion, we are forced to regard the existence of the Shuiwuchu with misgiving, and it behoves us.to leave nothing updons to checkmate as far as possible the evil likely to ensue from its formation.

To withstand insidious attacks from without it is essential that the Customs Service should be firmly established on a permanent basis, capable of carrying on its work with its own momentum.
