NOTES TO THE IMPORT TARIFF

If any of the articles provided for in this Tariff are imported in dimen- sions exceeding those specified, the duty is to be calculated in proportion to the measurements as defined..

The term "n.o.p.f." in this Tariff stands for "not otherwise provided for."

RULING FOR CALCULATING DUTY-PAYING VALUE OF COMMODITIES PAYING SPECIFIC RATES ON BASIS OF VALUE

1.-Wherever the tariff duty rate leviable on imported goods is subdivid- ed into grades which are determined by the value of the goods, the word "value" is to be regarded as meaning the duty-paying value as defined in section 1 of Rule 1 of the Import Tariff Provisional Rules. The following additions are to be made to this "value" before comparing it with the whole- sale market value of the goods for purposes of duty assessment:-

(a) The Tariff duty rate;

(b) Surtax or surtaxes at present in force; and

(e) 7 per cent. of the "value" in order to arrive at the wholesale

market value of the particular grade.

2. If the wholesale market value of the merchandise falls within the limits of a grade as ascertained by applying the rule given in section 1, duty shall be charged in accordance with the tariff rate prescribed for that grade.

3.-If the wholesale market value of the merchandise falls within the limits of any grade as ascertained by applying the rule given in section 1, duty shall be charged in accordance with the tariff rate prescribed for the grade which, when converted, approaches most nearly this wholesale market value.

NOTES TO SECTIONS I, II, III, AND IV.

In case piece goods or knitted tissues are constituted of more than one kind of fibre, the presence of any kind of fibre which does not exceed 5 per cent. by weight shall not affect the tariff classification of such goods.

The classification of goods made of Cotton, Flax, Ramie, Hemp, Jute, Wool, and/or Silk (Natural or Artificial) shall not be affected by such goods having been stitched, taped, whipped, or faced with materials other than those of which the goods are made.

Articles consisting partly of lace, trimmings, or any other orna- mental materials or decorated therewith are liable to a duty of 5 per cent. ad volorem in addition to the ordinary duty leviable thereon.

The term. Silk" in that Tariff includes "Artificial Silk."

EASTERN SIBERIA

VLADIVOSTOCK

Vladivostock is the chief town of the Maritime Province, which, together with the Habarovsk, Nicolaevsk, Amour, Zeia, Tchita, Sretensk, Kamchatka, and Saghalien Provinces forms the "Far Eastern Region" of Siberia. The administrative centre is at Habarovsk.

The port of Vladivostock, lies in latitude 43 deg. 7 min. North, longitude 131 deg. 54 min. East, at the southern end of a long peninsula reaching into Peter the Great Bay. Of the ports in East Siberia it is by far the most important. It has one of the most magnificent harbours in the East. From its peculiar long and narrow shape and the once supposed hidden treasures in the slightly auriferous soil of its surrounding hills it has not inappropriately been called the Golden Horn. The en- trances to the harbour are hidden by Russian Island, which divides the fairway into two narrow passages. This fine sheet of water first runs for about half a mile in a northern direction and then suddenly bends to the east for a distance of about one mile. On all sides it is surrounded by hills low on the southern and higher on the northern shore; these hills slope sharply down to the water's edge. Once verdane with foliage, they have been completely denuded of trees by reckless felling. The harbour, capable of accommodating an almost unlimited number of vessels of deep draught and large capacity, affords a safe anchorage. During the winter months it is kept open by ice-breakers so that steamers can always find their way in without difficulty. There is a floating dock capable of taking in vessels up to 3,000 tons, and a fine graving dock of the following dimensions:-Length over all, 621 feet; length at bottom, 564 feet; breadth, 118 feet; breadth at entrance, 90 feet; min. depth, 29 feet. There are also two large docks built especially for purposes of the State war fleet, but merchant vessels are now permitted to dock in them. Thanks to assistance fron the railway authorities in the form of revised freight rates and efforts to employ a maximum number of cars during the last two years, shipments via Changchun to South Manchurian ports assumed dimensions indicating that an outlet via Vladivostock is not vital to the prosperity of North Manchuria.

A large import business was formerly done, the main lines being cotton goods, iron, machinery, flour, fresh and potted meat, boots, and tea for transportation into the interior. The municipal affairs of Vladivostock were managed by a Mayor and Town Council elected by and from among the Russian civil community. In the Autumn of 1922 the Soviet Government at Moscow extended its authority to Vladivostock. The town is built on the southern slope of the hills running along the northern shore of the harbour, and handsome brick residences have been erected in recent years, re- placing the old wooden structures. The entire area, with the exception of some unoccupied lots intervening here and there, is covered by buildings, and the town is well laid out with wide but ill-kept roads. The sanitary arrangements are bad, though the town is fairly healthy. Most conspicuous among the buildings are the government offices, the post and telegraph othices, municipal house, the barracks, the railway station, the museum, the Russian church, the residences formerly occupied by the Governor and by the Admiral Conmanding (the latter residence is surrounded by a public garden), while the houses formerly belonging to the more affluent merchants. are well and substantially built. There are two or three hotels, a university, several schools for boys and girls, and military, naval and civil hospitals. In June, 1891, the late Tsar cut at Vladivostock the first sod of the Siberian Railway, which was com- pleted in 1902. The port is the terminus of the great trunk line from Moscow, and there are steamship services to Japan and Shanghai.

NICOLAEVSK

The port and settlement of Nicolaevsk, founded in 1851 by Admiral Nevelskoi, is situated on the river Amur, about 39 miles froin its mouth. The Amur is here about nine miles in width, with a depth in mid-stream of eight to nine fathoms and a current of three to four knots, though the river is very shallow in parts, even in mid-stream. It is navigable for vessels of light draught for more than 2,000 miles, and vessels of 12 feet draught can get up.600 miles. The town is built on a plateau 50 feet above the sea level and gradually, slopes eastward down to the river. The most conspicuous edifice is the Cathedral, round which the town is built. This structure is imposing in appearance, with a large west tower, having belfry and dome, but it is built of wood, and is, showing signs of deterioration, At the back of the Cathedral is a large grass grown square, two sides of which are occupied by barracks, the "Governor's" house, and police station. There are few substantial houses in the town, except those used as public buildings or stores, and the buildings are small and wholly built of wood. The town suffered badly in the Spring of 1920 in the struggle between Reds" and "Whites," and a large part of it was burned down. There is little trade at present except in fish and cranberries, quantities of salmon being dried and cured here. There is a sinall export of Manchurian soya beans to Japan.

CONSTITUTION AND GOVERNMENT

The government of the Japanese Empire was anciently, in theory at least, that of an absolute monarchy, but the real administrative and executive power, was in the hands of the Shogun and his clansmen. In the year 1868 the Imperialist party over- threw, after a short war, the power of the Shogun, together with that of the Daimios, or feudal nobles, who, on the 25th June, 1869, resigned their lands, revenues, and retainers to the Mikado, by whom they were permitted to retain one-tenth of their original incomes, but ordered to reside in the capital in future. The sovereign is known as the Emperor. The word "Mikado" is only one of many honorific titles and has never been in general use among the Japanese.

Hirohito, the reigning monarch, succeeded to the throne in December, 1927, and the coronation ceremonies were performed in Kyoto in November, 1928. His Majesty is thirty-six years of

age and is, according to Japanese chronology, partly mythical, the 124th of an unbroken dynasty, founded 660 B.C."

The power of the Mikado was formerly absolute, but its exercise was controlled to some extent by custom and public opinion. The Emperor Mutsuhita, posthumously and ordinarily known as the Emperor Meiji in 1875, when the Senate and Supreme Judicial Tribunal were founded, solemnly declared his earnest desire to have a con- stitutional system of government. The Mikado has long been regarded as the spiritual as well as the temporal head of the Empire, but, although the Shinto faith is held to be a form of national religion, the Emperor does not interfere in religious matters, and all religions are tolerated in Japan. The Ecclesiastical Department was in 1877 reduced to a simple bureau under the control of the Minister of the Interior... The Emperor acts through an Executive Ministry divided into eleven departments, Gwaimu Sho (Foreign Affairs), Naimu Slo (Interior), Okura Sho (Finance), Kaigun Sho (Navy), Rikugun Shio (Army), Shiho Sho (Justice), Monibu Sho (Education), Norin, Sho-Agriculture and Forestry), Shoko Sho (Commerce and Industry), Teishin Sho (Com munications) Takumusho (Overseas Affairs) and Testudo-sho (Railways). In 1888 a Privy Council, modelled on that of Great Britain, was constituted. The new Constitution, promised by the Mikado, was proclaimed on the 11th February, 1889, and in July, 1890, the first Parliament was elected; it met on the 29th November. The Parliament- ary system is bicameral, the House of Peers and the House of Representatives, con- stituting the Imperial Diet.

The Empire is divided for administrative purposes into three Fu, or urban prefectures (Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka), and 43 Ken, or prefectures, including the Loochoo Islands, which have been converted into a ken and named Okinawa. The island of Yezo is under a separate administration, called Hokkaido-cho. Chosen or Corea, which was annexed by Japan in 1910, Formosa, and the Kwantung Province of Manchuria are governed as colonies with a Governor General, or, in the case of Kwantung, a Governor, under the general supervision of the Ministry of Overseas Affairs. Kwantung Province was originally leased by Russia from China, the lease being taken over by Japan as a result of the Russo-Japanese war. The fu and ken are governed by prefects, who are all of equal rank, are under the control of the Ministry of the Interior and liave limited powers, being required to submit every matter, unless there is a precedent for it, to the Minister of the Interior. Nor have they any concern in judicial proceedings, which come under the cognizance of the 51 local Courts, and the seven Supreme Courts at Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Miyagi, and Sapporo, over which the Daislin-In presides at Tokyo.

Previous to the last change of Government, which restored the ancient Imperial régime, the administrative authority rested with the Shogun (Military Commander), whom foreigners were at first led to recognise as the temporal sovereign, and with whom they negotiated treaties of peace and commerce. The Shogunate was founded in 1184 by Yoritomo, a general of great valour and ability, and was continued through several dynasties until 1868, when the Tokugawa family were dispossessed of the usurped authority. Under the Shogun 300 or more Dainios (feudal princes) shared

the administrative power, being practically supreme in their respective domains conditionally upon their loyalty to the Shogun; but their rank and power disappeared with the Shogunate. On the 7th July, 1884, however, His Majesty issued an Imperial Notification and Rescript rehabilitating the nobility, and admitting to its ranks the most distinguished civil and military officials who took part in the work of the Restoration- The old titles were abolished, and have been replaced by those of Prince (Ko), Marquis (Ko), Count (IIaku), Viscount (Shi), and Baron (Dan).

POPULATION

The total area of Japan, exclusive of Formosa and Chosen, is estimated at 163,042 square miles. The population of the Empire, according to the returns from the Census Board in 1930, was 64,447,724 for Japan Proper; 21,057,969 for Korea; 4,594,161 for Formosa; and 295,187 for Saghalien. The most populous cities are Oska, Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto, Kobe, Yokohama and Nagasaki in the order named. Japan is geographically divided into the four islands: Honshiu, the central and most important territory; Kiushui, "nine provinces," the south-western island; Shikoku, "the four provinces," the southern island; and Hokkaido, the most northerly and least developed. The first three islands are sub-divided into eight large areas, containing 66 provinces, and the latter Hokkaido is divided into 11 provinces.

Extension of the Japanese railway systems has proceeded uninterruptedly since the first line was laid in 1872. The mileage open to traffic in Japan proper (ex- cluding Chosen, Formosa and Saghalien), according to the 1930 returns, is 8,826 miles of State railway and 5,769 miles of private railway. The Govern- ment in 1906 decided on the State ownership of all railways which are used for general traffic, the object being to improve the facilities for direct traffic over long distances, to accelerate transportation, and to cheapen the cost. The Government proposed to purchase the lines belonging to 32 private companies within a period extending from 1906 to 1911, but the House of Peers, when the Bills came before them, reduced the number of companies to be bought out to 17 and extended the period of purchase: to 1915. The aggregate length of the lines it was decided to purchase was 2,812 miles. It was soon found advisable for various reasons to carry through the whole transaction in one year, and the sum of Yen 483,563,325 was paid during the two years 1907-8 and 1908-9. As a result of the war with Russia, the South Manchurian Railway was taken over by Japan. There are well over 4,000 miles of alectric tramway in Japan, with many more under construction.

By treaties made with a number of foreign Governments the Japanese ports of Kanagawa (Yokohama), Nagasaki, Kobe, Hakodate, Niigata, and the cities of Tokyo (formerly called Yedo) and Osaka were thrown open to foreign commerce. In 1894 new treaties were signed with the Powers by which extra-territoriality was abolished and the whole country opened to foreign trade and residence, the treaty to come into force in July, 1899. Actually, extra-territoriality ceased to exist on August 4th, 1899.

EDUCATION

Education is national and very general in Japan, and is making great progress. There are numerous High Schools, Middle Schools, Normal Schools, and Colleges for special studies-such as Law, Commerce, Science, Medicine, Mining, Agriculture, and Foreign Languages-and several Female High Schools have been established, and are carefully fostered by the Government. In order to facilitate the prosecution of foreign studies the Government employs many European professors, and also sends, at the public expense, a large number of students every year to America and Europe.

THE EARTHQUAKES OF 1923 AND 1930

An appalling earthquake probably the most disastrous in its consequences of any recorded in the history of the world-occurred in Tokyo and Yokohama and the surrounding district on September 1st, 1923, as a result of which 100,000 people were killed, 43,000 were missing and believed to be dead and 113,000 were injured. The material damage was enormous. A very large proportion of the buildings in the capital and the chief port were reduced to dust and ashes by the earthquake and the fires which followed. The official returns gave a total of 6,962 factories destroyed, and assessed the damage at yen $380,000,000. Great progress has been made in Tokyo and Yokohama with re-construction work on the most modern lines.

On November 26th, 1930, Japan experienced another serious earthquake, 252 people being killed, 351 injured and over 8,000 buildings were damaged. Though the shock was felt severely in Tokyo the special precautions taken in the rebuilding of the capital fully justified themselves and practically no damage was sustained in the rural districts. The total damage was estimated over twenty million yen.

FOREIGN TRADE FOR 1933

The foreign trade of Japan proper for the year 1933 amounts to Y3,778,266,000; that is, Y1,861,046,000 exports and Y1,917,220,000 imports, the balance in favour of imports being Yo6,174,000. Compared with 1932 this represents an increase of Y454,054,000 (or 32%) in exports and Y485,759,00 (or 33.9%) imports. The adverse balance also shows an increase of Y34,705,000 (or 161.7%) compared with an adverse balance of Y21,469,000 for the previous year.

The exports which have increased in value are: Cotton Tissues by Y92,502,000, Silk and Rayon Tissues by Y30,100,000, Canned Provisions by Y24,210,000, Wheat Flour by Y14,416,000, Iron Manufactures by Y13,431,000, Iron by Y22,288,000, Machineries and parts thereof by Y14,914,000, Knitted Goods by Y10,457,000, Pottery by Y12,696,000, Toys by Y11,256,000, Raw Silk by Y8,533,000, Woollen Tissues by Y7,896,000 and Refin- ed Sugar by Y7,112,000. The only decrease is in Cotton Yarn which is Y5,834,000 less than 1932.

The chief changes among the commodities imported were a gain of Y157,446,000 in Raw Cotton, Y76,632,000 in Wool, Y59,015,000 in Iron, Y13,697,000 in Rubber, crude, Y13,079,000, in Pig Iron, Y11,739,000 in Pulp for paper making, Y9,462,000 in Sugar, Y9,299,000 in Coal, Y8,520,000 in Oil-yielding materials, Y8,269,000 in Beans and Peas, and Y6,570,000 in Oil-cake; and decreases of Y5,188,000 in Wheat, Y3,275,000 in Woollen Tissues, Y2,091,000 in Woollen or Worsted Yarns, Y1,863,000 in Printing Paper, Y1,759,000 in Oil, Kerosene or Petroleum, Y1,439,000 in Caustic Soda and Soda Ash, and Y1,007,000 in Artificial Indigo and Coal-tar Dyes.

The trade with China and Manchukuo for the year 1933 totalled Y718,318,000 as against Y500,493,000 for the previous year, showing a favourable balance of Y151,302,- 000 as against a favourable balance of Y87,607,000 in 1932.

Honorary Attaché J. G. Parsons

The capital of Japan is situated on Tokyo Bay, on the East coast of Japan. The river Sumida runs through the city, the larger part lying to the west of this waterway, while on the east lie the two wards named Honjo and Fukagawa

Tokyo as viewed from the bay is a pleasant-looking city, being well situat- ed undulating ground, and possessing abundant foliage. The city covers 30 square miles and is divided into 15 ward divisions, and its suburbs into six divisions.

In 1603, when Iyeyasu becane Shogun, he made Yedo, as it was then called his capital, and from that time, in spite of the earthquakes which several times nearly destroyed it and the fires which ravaged it, the city con- tinued to grow until it exceeded Kyoto, the ancient capital, in populations and in splendour. The transfer of the Imperial Capital from Kyoto to Tokyo, as it was then re-named, in 1868, brought increased prosperity to the city, and from a population of a little more than 580,000 in 1878, it increased to 1,230,000 in 1898, and to 2,170,000 in 1920 when the first national census was taken. According to an estimate made by city officials during 1933 the popu lation was 5,486,200.

Tokyo is one of the three cities in Japan which stands in a prefecture by itself, with a Governor appointed by the Central Government. The city itself is governed by a Mayor and a Municipality, which now has control over most of the public utilities, including the water and electric supplies, and the tramways. Of recent years the feudal aspect of Tokyo has almost entirely disappeared, the streets having been widened so as to permit of modern traffic conditions. Many fine buildings have also been erected, such as the Imperial! Theatre, one of the finest in the Far East, the Imperial Hotel and large blocks of business houses. (Tokyo Central Station situated in the heart of the business quarters, is now connected with all the main lines in Japan, thus adding to the convenience of passengers.

A section well worth a visit is the public park or garden named Uyeno, where formerly stood the magnificent temple founded and maintained by the Shoguns, and which was destroyed by fire during the War of Restoration in, July, 1868. In Uyeno is also situated the fine Imperial Museum (Haku-butsu- kwan), the Tokyo Gallery of Fine Arts, the Academy of Music and a small Zoological Garden.

Undoubtedly the finest recent addition to the capital is the Meji Shrine dedicated to the Emperor Meiji, (1868-1911), and its beautiful outer garden which includes a fine stadium for athletic meetings and football matches, a huge baseball ground, a swimming pool and an inposing Meiji Art Gallery.

Among the places much resorted to by visitors is the ancient temple of Kwannon, at Asakusa, not far from Uyeno, one of the most popular and most frequented temples in Japan. At the right of the temple there is a fine old Pagoda, and near it are two colossal stone statues. A new park was also opened close to the temple about the same time as that of Uveno. Thus, with Shiba, in the southwest, where are to be seen some of the splendid shrines of the Shoguns, among the chief glories of Tokyo, there are three large public gardens within the city, in addition to the Meiji Shrine garden mentioned above.

Tokyo does no direct foreign trade all goods from abroad or coming from abroad, being handled by lighters to and from Yokohama. Of late years Tokyo has become the centre of a large industrial district. In addition to the smaller industries that are carried on in the city itself, there are in the immediate vicinity of the capital large cotton mills, iron foundries, and machine shops which employ thousands of hands.

The districts of Honjo and Fukagawa form a distinct industrial portion of the capital. Here is the centre of the lumber and other trades. This quarter is connected with the rest of the city by tea splendid bridges all re- built since the earthquake. The biggest of them are called, commencing on the north, Senju-O Hashi, Kototoi-Bashi (new built), Azuma-Bashi, Komagata-Bash, (new built). Umaya Bashi, Kuramae-Bashi (new built), Ryogoku-Bashi, Shiuo-Bashi Kiyosu-Bashi (new built), and Eitai-Bashi, respectively. From these the traveller may obtain a fine view of the animated river life of the Sumida, whose waters are always covered with junks and boats of all descriptions.

Several great first have swept Tokyć during the last two decades, and these have led to great improvements and widening of the streets. The last of these broke out on September 1st, 1923, following upon a very severe earth- quake. The casualties due to this terrible visitation were as follows, accord- ing to a return issued in November by the Home Office:-Dead 68,215; missing (believed to be dead), 39,304; injured. 42,135. The number of houses des- troyed is said to have been 316.000, or 71 per cent. of the whole of the build ings of the city; and no fewer than 1,360,000 people were rendered home- less.

The soldiers and police are dressed in uniform on the western model. Though large numbers appear in European garb, the native dress still com- monly worn, and in the case of the women has practically not at all been superseded.

The environs of Tokyo are very picturesque and offer a great variety of pleasant walks or rides. Foreigners will find much to interest them in the country around. The finest scenery is at the northern and western sides of the city, where the country is surrounded by beautiful hills, from which, there is a distant view of the noble mountains of Hakone while beyond rises in solitary grandeur the towering peak of Fuji-sant covered with show the greater part of the year:

Many of the most famous educational institutions are: situated in Tokyo. In addition to the Imperial University, there is the celebrated Waseda University, the Keio Gijuku, the Meiji Gakuin, the Aoyama Gakuin, and a large number of technical, normal, commercial and other colleges.

Tokyo was opened to foreign residence in 1870 and an arca of land at Tsukiji on the waterfront was set aside as a Foreign Settlement, which was largely taken advantage of by Christian Missionary bodies. With the passing of extra-territoriality, however, residence by foreigners in any part of the city became possible, and of late years many foreign firms have established offices in Tokyo.
