to be among the hardest hit articles.
The United States in a treaty con-
cluded In 1928 granted China complete
tariff autonomy and the accompanying
right to impose whatever duties the
Nationalist government saw At. The
Chinese in return gave a tacit under
standing they would endeavor to abolish
the So-called 'Liken" or provincial tax,
which has for many years constituted
virtual tribute by commerce to the
military and civil leaders of the prov
inces. The Chinese then increased GUS
toms duties. The 'Liken" remained,
however.
State Department officials are doubt
ful that any protest can be made
against the duties. since they will prob
ably not be found to be discriminatory

THE Sting Of Deborah"
Lois Compton Fuller's Play.

Lois Compton Fuiler's Play.
HERALDED as in the nature Of
= a tryout of a play, which might
be candidate for the big time, the
performance Of The Sting of De-
borah," by the Pierce Hall Players
last evening, at the hall of that
organization, offered q test, both
for the players and for the play
wright. Through laSt-minute
change, the latter took the title role
and thus, in addition to directing
the production, became q factor on
the stage. The entertainment, which
also included musical selections, will
be repeated this evening.
The work Of Lois Compton Fuller,
the playwright, in The Sting of
Deborah" is devoCed to the creation
Of a variety Of characters, each
clearly drawn, and associated in a
story which Is interesting as 1t pro-
crosses and leads to an unexpected
climax. The lines have merit but
depend, to a certain extent, upon the
intangible stage atmosphere, which
would be required to give adequate
force. AS q performance by the
Pierce Hall Players, the presenta-
ton of this three-act comedy has the
handicap Of employing a piece which
is less familiar TO the public than
q play with an established reputation
would have been. AS O test for A
pretentious Offering, IL lacked the
advantages that would be found In
the acting of seasoned members of
the profession.
Established success would depend
upon the skillful use of all those de-
vices which focus the attention, set
out the players In their successive
places in the development of the plot,
and appeal to the emotions Of an
audience. A view of the performance
inspires the belief that there Is an
element OF doubt as to the future of
the work. Yet as an Offering by a
group Of washington players, it has
