BRITISH HAVE BUILT
UP GIGANTIC TRADE.

The British" he continued. have
built up their gigantic trade in
China by the intelligent comprehen-
sion of the simple principle that il
is better to sacrifice uncertain small
fiscal profits and to obtain certain
large commercial profits. Instead of
strangling trade at its inception, by
charging taxes on nascent COM
panies, they authorize these to reg
lister as British companies in the
British colony of Hong Kong and
exempt them from the Income tax"
Volpicelli explained that this
exemption should not be considered
as a favor or a privilege. but more
as a just recognition of the spe-
cial local conditions. Trade in the
Far East is very different from
trade anywhere else. The office
staff is very numerous, highly paid
and the foreign employees must
have long costly leaves and their
passage when they come out must
be paid by the firm.
The Chinese have been heavy in
vestors in foreign firms operating
in China, since they have been
shrewd enough to see the advan>
tages of the legal position of for
eigners under the exterritorial
rights granted citizens and sub
jects of other governments to make
up for deficiencies in Chinese laws.
