In view Of this fact the treasury officials

collection Of duties in the Philippines, that
on exports Of hemp the import duties be re-
funded, this making but one duty charge.
The suggestion also has been made to the

Manila to other ports in the Philippines be
removed. Now that the war is over 1t Is
