35 YEARS

The United States court for China is celebrating this year the completion of 35 years of judicial ac- tivity in China.

It holds the distinction of being the only United States court operating off American soil, but now faces the possibility of be- ing abolished sometime in the future when the United States, in accor- dance with its pledge to the Chungking Govern- ment, gives up its extra- territorial treaty rights in China.

The Court in the early period of its history operated to give the impartial applica- tion of American laws to U.S. citizens in a country with a multiplicity of legal systents which conflicted with ench other and many times were contrary to the judicial pro- cedure as recognised in the west.

the

Illicit Business

During the early years of Court's existence the laxity in application of law threatened to undermine its existence. Illicit business nt. that time was flourishing under the title of American citizenship and the political indifference, was far from Washington's control,

The first judge of the Court and several of his suc- cessors were involved in numerous scandals. However, the Court gradually became one of the recognised institu- tions of China and now hus attained the highest of re- cognition both here and -abroad.

During the depression years of 1934 and 1935 numerous American firms were forced Into receivership and there was danger that the credit of American nationals in Shanghai would be affected. The Court, however, adopted the new United States bank- ruptcy act and several Ameri- can firms reorganised to their creditors' benefit.

Federal Court

In 1936 the court held a nine weeks' session at Tien-

on

tsin and Peiping where for the first time in American history, a federal Court sat a military reservation- the sessions were held in the U.S. Marines compound of the American Embassy. The same year the Court held its first session in Canton.

The outbreak of the Sino- Japanese war presented court cases of a complicated nature, involving questions of proper- ty rights, war risk insurance and whether the Chinese were evading the Japanese by ob- taining American registration of their firms.

In one instance the Court dissolved a Tientsin corpora. tion due to insufficient Ameri- can control, and this decision was made the basis for future" cases in determing whether the Japanese in their seizures were affecting American or purely Chinese property.

Lawyers acclaimed the rul- ing, saying the Court was exercising vigilance

to pre- vent the possible abuse of American citizenship and ex- trality rights. However; it was admitted there was still some misuse of these rights.

When Peace Comes

. If and when pence returns to China, with the Chungking Government retaining its sovereignty, the United States and Great Britain have pro- mised to again take up the question of abolition of ex- trality. This would inevitably nican the end of the United States Court for China.

Chinese judicial lenders, however, claim the work by the United States Court will endure as a "monument" to

The Court's present Judge, Milton J. Helmick, sailed un- expectedly for the United States recently, causing a cer- tain amount of surprise, since some legal circles say major cases cannot be heard until his return. They explained he could not be replaced ex- cept by Commissioner N. E. Lurton, who has been em. powered to hear only lesser enses.

Although legal circles were surprised by the suddenness of his decision to return to the United

States, they understood Helmick 1404 only planning a brief tion and also to
