DALNY is TO Be
MADE A FREE PORT
viii Be Opened to Commerce
September |
A STATEMENT is ISSUED
Mr.. Myaoka, Japanese Charge, Calls at
the State Department at Washing
ton and Advises With Act
ing Secretary Adee.

Washington, August 27.-Mr. Myaoka,
the Japanese charge, called at the state
department today and advised Acting Sec
rotary Adee that Japan will open Dainy
to the commerce of all nations after Sep
TENDER l. 1t is to be a free port, and no
import or export duty viii be levied on
articles of commerce imported into or ex-
ported from Kwan-Fo-Shu through Dalny.
From the same date ships of all nations
will be permitted to ply and engage in
traffic between Dalny or Tairen, as the
town is now called. and all the ports OF
Japan that are open to foreign commerce.
The following statement was made to-
day:
"Apropos of the announcement of this
decision of the imperial government to
open the port of Tairen to the commerce
of all nations. 1t will be recalled that
the attidue of Japan on the subject of
the establishment of Chinese customs at
the port of Tairen for the purpose of col
lecting import duties on merchandise des-
tine for Manchuria has been matter of
comment in the press 1t is pointed out
that the establishment of such customs at
Tairen, unaccompanied by the establish
ment of similar customs at the Russo
Manchurian frontier would be disastrous
not only to the trade of Japan but to
the trade of all other nations which can
ship merchandise to Manchuria only by
the sea route.
''The eastern Chinese railway is the
great artery of Manchuria's commerce,
and it Is of the utmost Importance that
the goods or merchandise which enter
Manehuria by the Southern Manchurian
railway shall stand in no more unfavor-
able position than the merchandise that
enters Manchuria from the north by the
Eastern Manchurian railway and more es-
pecially as by the treaty between Russia
and China. articles of commerce entering
China from the Russian frontier by that
railway is subject to only two-thirds OF
the tariff that is imposed upon articles I'M
ported through the open ports on the coast
of China. If Chinese customs were to be
established solely at Tairen, While goods
entering by the back door from the Rus
sian frontier were to be exempt from the
payment of even two-thirds OF the orol-
nary customs tariff, the Southern Man.
churian railway would be seriously handi-
capped on the question of the establish
mont of Chinese customs at Tairen.
Japan's contention has merely been ihat
IT would be unjust unless customs were
simultaneously established at the Rus
sian Chinese frontier so that the BACK
door NAV equally be guarded when the
front door is closed to duty--free entry.
