SHANGHAI RATES
ALARM SHIPPERS
Row Between America and Chang

SHANGHAI. July 23.-Shipping cir
cles are alarmed over the uncompro-
missing course adopted by the Marking
government in the matter Of surtaxes
and tonnage dues, which suddenly
have been raised to a point where
they threaten seriously to destroy
Shanghai's position as the leading
port in the Far East. The regula.
tions went into force July II, and
now affect the shipping Of all nations.
Developments today and yesterday
concern notably the American ship
Steel Constructor. The developments
make the situation especially of live
interest to the American colony here,
and there Is in 1t possibility of col
lision between the United States and
the so.called Nationalist government
under Gen. Chang Kai.Shek, which
has not yet been recognized by the
United States, but which is anxious
for that honor.
Until this month Shanghai tonnage
dues have stood at mace (normally
about 80 cents per ton for all vessels
of over $50 tons, in accordance with
the treaty with Great Britain of 1858.
This rate gave the vessel the right to
use all ports of China for four
months, and 1t worked we'll enough in
regard to coastwise vessels but made
payments excessively high for big
boats touching at only one or two
ports in China. Some authorities
here estimate that tonnage dues here
are the highest Of all ports in the
world.
