WHY NANKING WANTS. A -CUSTOMS STATION HERE

That the establishment Chinese Customs station ta Hongkong for the collection of duties on goods hipped to neighbouring ports would be to the benefit of all parties con etched, is the considered view of a

Chinens merchant prominent

In Hongkong. For obvious reasons ha does not desire his name to be known, but says his views in the matter are shared by the large body of mer chants who he representa.

The establishment of a Chinese Customs here would be a valuable nid to trade recovery, not only by facilitating formalities related to the collection of these taxes, but by bringing the Customs authorities into inmediate contact with the goods being shipped from here into Chino.

The acheme was proposed in con- nection with suggestions. For trado recovery, and he thinks it is ro ceiving consideration in the proper quarters, The Chinese Chamber of Commerce, however, has so far not been officially, communicated. with on the subject

Reporta from Canton Indicals that the achcing is one that will be favour- ed particularly by Nanking, in view of the extensive amuggling from Hongkong Into Kwangtung waters which it in their principal aim 10 check.

Behind this aspect of the matter, is an interesting story of organised smuggling.

Smuggling from Hongkong.

The enormous losses to the Chinese Maritime Customs through organized smuggling may never be offeintly revealed, but the position has always been a serious one, and, were official Information on organized racketeer Ing on the Canton river delta to bo fully. revealed, it would have created. a profound impression. Sugar, salt, and other cargo formerly smuggled through isolated points along the Houthern Kwangtung coast have now been largely replaced by piece goods, and tricks of great variety and in- genuity employed for the purpose.

Despite ofleinl repudiations, it is a notorious fact that Chinese Gov ernment vennels have been employed in this vast smuggling business, with or without the knowledge of persons in responsible positions; whilst additional colour to the reports in- sistently bruited abroad, of an or- ganization with extensive ramifica tions directed or controlled from Hongkong, is lent from time to limo by native craft intercepted in adjacent waters with contraband or board.

Fishing Junks Engaged.

Of particular interest, as showing the variety of methods employed, the fact that the ordinary trading Junk having falled in the illegal purpose to which it was put, owing to an increasing Customs vigilance (it is sometimes trailed at the out- set from British waters), recourse is being made to fishing vessels who are attracted by the lucrative terins offered to desert their legitimate calling.

As a resuit many of these craft, from time to time, have como under pfflelal cognizance when intercepted by Police launches, and cargo, con- sisting for the most part of obviously Japanese silk, la found aboard, con- coaled at the very bottom under a heavy pile of nets, tackle and other heavy-forms-of-obstruction.

In a case before the Marino Court the other day, the facts related by the Officer in charge of a Polico launch which had intercepted such a smuggler in Lyeemun Pass may be accepted as exemplifying the con- ditions as these are said to exchat ot the moment.

In fining the erring fisherman $50 for a breach of his fishing junk leoneo, the Magistrate said, "I take a serious view, of these cases, be- cause you are not only defrauding the British Government, but you are also, defrauding the Chinese Govern~ ment of duties by your smuggling,"
