Face Difficult Problem Enforcing Pledges to Respect China
DR. gKOO PROPOSES TO RESTORE
To CHINA RIGHT TO FIX TARIFF
Makes Definite Statement Of Delegation :
Position on Subject of Customs Revenue.
Gives History of Treaties and Agreements.

The Chinese delegation, at q meet.
ing of the Warrington conference
committee on the far east yesterday
afternoon. made a definite statement
OF Its position on the subject of Chi
nese customs revenues. through DR..
Wellington Koo. one Of the delegates,
Mr.. Koo first of all according to a
statement issued formally by the con-
ference, emphasized that the Chinese
government had no desire to inter-
fere with the present administration
of maritime customs or with devotion
OF the proceeds Of the customs reve-
nue. to the liquidation Of various for
eign loans secured thereon"
The statement continued as follows:
"A brief account was given by Mr..
Koo about the origin and the history
OF the Chinese treaty tariffs. Prior
to 1912. he said China enjoyed the full
right OF levying customs duties. In
1912. however. and in the subsequent
years after having made treaties with
Great Britain, France and the United
States, a Limitation upon this right
was for the first time imposed.

was thereby established and the rates
were based upon the current prices
then prevailing. In 1858, as prices of
commodities began to drop and the 5
per cent actually collected appeared
to be somewhat in excess of the 5 per
cent prescribed. a revision was asked
for by the treaty powers. A revision
was accordingly made.
Later, however. as prices mounted.
no request for a revision was forth
coming, and the Chinese government
on her part did not press for a revision,
seeing that the revenue then collected
from other sources was not inadequate
to meet its requirements.
But the fact was that the customs
rate then prevailing was much less
than the per cent stipulated for. 1t
was only in 1902 that a revision was
made in order to afford sufficient funds
to meet the Chinese obligations arising
out of the Boxer protocol. In that tariff
the rate was calculated on the basis
OF the average prices Of 1897 to 1899.
In 1912 an attempt was made by the
Chinese government to have another
revision. but 1t failed. owing to the diff

sent OF sixteen or seventeen powers. 1t
