ran around the other side of the tree

TAXATION RIGHTS FOR CHINA

China at last is to be allowed to regulate her o1.
customs-after decent interval The conference ol
powers that has been sitting that subject IN Pekln
has graciousy agreed that China may have unresrlc-
ed tariff rights beginning on January l. 1929
There is nothing preclptate, certainly, ABOUT Such
action The powers pledged themselves to 1t IN the
Washington arms conference four years ago. and were
expected to take action long before this.
China incidentally agrees to abolish the 'llkln, or
special tax on goods in inland transit but insists that
the two are not connected That will help little TO
soohe the feelings of foreigners 10 whom the IDEA OF
a Chinese import tax is bitter pill The Christian
powers somehow seem to think it is very wicked for
China to tax their goods entrance into the country,
as they tax China's
NOW the powers are arguing about how China
shall spend her incbme.
