Tientsin to be "Closed"

Nanking, June 20. Dr. C. T. Wang stated this morning that the National Gov- ernment is taking drastic steps to deal with the Tientsin Customs question on its own initiative, China now possessing complete tariff autonomy, there is no need. to make representations to the foreign Governments..

During the occupancy of the north by the rebels, the port of Tientsin would be closed, and war- ships would be stationed at Taku to examine ships entering or leay- ing. Customs dues formerly pay- able at Tientsin would be collect- ed at Dairen and Tsingtao.

He added that Mr. Lenox Simp- son being a British subject work- ing against the Government strong representations were being made to Great Britain.-Reuter.

"The Government is resisting the seizure of the Tientsin Customs by every means in its power, be- cause apart from any political considerations, this act strikes at the very root of China's national credit. Not only does it endan- ger the Customs-secured domestic and foreign obligations, but it aleo threatens to wreck the plan for consolidating the domestic and foreign debts in arrears, as to which the Government has on many occasions pledged itself, and which it is taking up at the con- ference of creditors this autumn.” --Reuter.
