HONG KONG STORM SIGNAL CODES
Storm Warnings are issued by tfie Royal Observatory, Hongkong, by means of Local and Non-Local Storm
Signal Codes. The Local Code is as follows:
Recommended for use in the Far East at a Conference of Directors of Far Eastern Weather Services held at
Hongkong in the year 1930.
Adopted at Hongkong from March 1, 1931.
Signal. Symbol. DAY SIGNALS Meaning.
1 — T A- depression or typhoon exists which may possibly affect the locality.
Strong wind with squalls may possibly occur from the S.W. (S-W).
-L Strong wind with squalls may possibly occur from the S.E. (E-S).
Typhoon dangerous but danger to locality hot imminent.
A Gale expected from the N.W. (W-N).
6 — V Gale expected from the S.W. (S-W).
I Gale expected from the N.E. (N-E).
# Gale expected from the S.E. (E-S).
9 — I Gale expected to increase.
+ Wind of typhoon force expected (any direction).
Signal No. 4 will be used in the Philippines, but not at Hongkong, the information it conveys being given by the
Non-Local Signals.
Signals 5 to 8 are not hoisted until it is tolerably certain that a gale (40-45 m.p.h. by the Dines Anemometer)
will occur at Hongkong or Gap Rock, or when a typhoon is sufficiently near to warrant a danger, signal, although
the occurrence of a gale is by no means certain.
If, with one of signals 5 to 8 hoisted, conditions indicate that the wind will not only increase but attain hurricane
i force, signal No. 9 may be dispensed with, thus giving the longest possible warning of destructive winds.
Signal No. 10 will be accompanied by three explosive bombs, fired at intervals of 10 seconds at the Water
Police Station and repeated at the Harbour Office.
When the centre of a typhoon passes over the locality the wind decreases rapidly to a calm, or nearly calm,
and blows violently' from the opposite direction when the centre has passed.
The signal will be lowered when it is considered that all danger is over.
The Day Signals will be displayed on the Radio mast at the Royal Observatory, at the Harbour Office, H.M.S.
Tamar, Green Island, Hongkong & Kowloon Wharf & Godown Co., the Standard-Vacuum Oil Co. at Lai-chi-kok, the
flagstaff near the Field Officer’s Quarters at Lyemun, Gough Hill Police Station and Taipo (District Officer’s flagstaff)
NIGHT SIGNALS (Lamps)
i 10
WHITE WHITE GREEN WHITE WHITE GREEN GREEN WHITE GREEN RED
WHITE GREEN WHITE WHITE GREEN WHITE GREEN WHITE GREEN GREEN
WHITE WHITE GREEN RED GREEN WHITE WHITE GREEN GREEN RED
The Night Signals will be displayed, at sunset, on the Radio mast at the Royal Observatory, on the tower of
the Railway Station, H.M.S. Tamar, the Harbour Office, on the flagstaff near the Field Officer’s Quarters at
Lyemun, Kowloon City Police Station, and at Gough Hill Police Station. They will have the same signification
as the day signals.
Signal No. 10 will be accompanied by explosive bofhbs as above, in the event of the information conveyed
by this signal being first published at night.
SUPPLEMENTARY WARNINGS
When Local Signals are displayed in the Harbour, signals will be displayed as follows :
When No. 1 Signal is displayed in the Harbour.
Black T by day.
2 Red Lights vertical by night
When Signals Nos. 6 to 10 are displayed in the Harbour.
Black Cone by day.
2 Green Lights vertical by night.
These Signals will be displayed at the following Stations:
| Tai O | Waglan
n always be given to ocean vessels, on demand, by signal from Lighthouses, or by wireless
The object of the code is to give at least 24 hours warning of a gale (Force 8 by Beaufort Scale, or 40-46
m.p.h., mean velocity by Dines Anemometer) and also warnings of expected changes in the direction and force
of the wind. Owing however to the uncertain movements of typhoons and to insufficient telegraphic observations,
it will occasionally happen that signals 6 to 8 may be displayed without a gale occurring at Hongkong, or even
Gap Rock, but the reverse is not likely to happen, except in the case of typhoons forming in the vicinity and
travelling rapidly towards Hongkong, or should the direction of motion of a located typhoon alter, or its rate
of progression increase, abnormally.
Signal No. 1 is intended as a warning to “Stand By” and watch for the next signal. When it is hoisted after
one of Nos. 5 to 8 has been displayed it will mean that, On account of a change in the track of the typhoon, or
for some other reason, a gale is no longer expected from the direction indicated by the last signal, and that
another black signal may possibly be hoisted later.
NON-LOCAL SIGNALS
The Non-Local Code of Storm Signals gives the latitude and longitude of the storm centre, its direction of
motion, and a signal indicating the degree of accuracy with which it is believed the position of the centre has
' n located. A signal giving the time at which the warning was issued is hoisted at the mast-head.
Copies
" of the code may be
’■* obtained oin application to the Observatory.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
In China, Standards of Weights, Measures and Length vary all over the
country. Generally speaking, two kinds of standard are now in use, namely,
the old and the new. The old standard was formulated from the Weights and
Measures Law promulgated in 1914, establishing a double system, the standard
metric unit and that based on Ymq Tsao L'h’ih or “Builder’s Foot” for length and
Kuping tael or Liang for weight. The law governing the new standard was
promulgated by the National Government on February 6, 1929 and it is intended
to be the legal standard of weights and measures acceptable throughout China.
For convenience sake and customary usage it also established a double system;
one is the standard metric unit and the other, which is temporary in nature and
to be abolished as soon as the people are accustomed to the use of standard units,
is designed only for market use. However, the latter is derived from the former
by taking one litre of Kung Sheng as one Shih Sheng which is nearest to the
Chinese customary unit of capacity Sheng one half kilogram as one Shih Chin
which is the average weight of the different varieties of “Chin” in different
localities; and one third of a meter or Kung Ch’ih as one Sh’ih Ch’ih which is the
average length of different varieties of Chinese “Foot” in different localities, thus
constituting the so-called 1-2-3-system of Chinese weights and measures based on
International metric standard. Such a system, as devised by the Ministry of
Industry, Commerce and Labour and proclaimed by the National Government to
be put into force may also have great bearing on the users of British “ Foot-Pound”
system by taking the following approximate value : 1 quart equals to 1 litre,
1 pound equals to £ kilogram and 1 yard equals to 1 meter. The Russian and
Japanese system can also be thus varied accordingly so as to fit themselves to the
International System. The following is a comparative table showing both the old
mm the new standards together with their approximate foreign equivalents :

KOWLOON EXTENSION AGREEMENT, 1898
Whereas it has for many years past heen recognised that an extension of Hong-
kong territory is necessary for the proper defence and protection of the Colony,
It has now been agreed between the Governments of Great Britain and China
that the limits of British territory shall be enlarged under lease to the extent
indicated generally on the annexed map.
The exact boundaries shall be hereafter fixed when proper surveys have been

The United States of America,- the British Empire, France and Japan, wit!
a view to the preservation of the general peace and the maintenance of tln i ,
rights in relation to their insular possessions and insular dominions in th
regions of the Pacific Ocean, have determined to conclude a treaty to this efft ■
and have appointed as their plenipotentiaries :—
The President of the United States
His Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain aici
Ireland, and of the British Dominions beyond the seas, Emperor <>;
India
And
For the Dominion of Canada
For the Commonwealth of Australia
For the Dominion of New Zealand
For India
The President of the French Kepublic——
His Majesty the Emperor of Japan
Who, having communicated their full powers found in good and due form, ha\-
agreed as follows:—
Article I.—The high contracting parties agree as between themselves t<-
respect their rights in relation to their insular possessions and insular dominions in
the region of the Pacific Ocean. If there should develop between any of the
high contracting parties a controversy arising out of any Pacific question and
involving their said rights, which is not satisfactorily settled by diplomacy and
likely to affect the harmonious accord now happily subsisting between them, they
shall invite the other high contracting parties to a joint conference to which tlu
whole subject will be referred for consideration and adjustment.
Article II.—If the said rights are threatened by the aggressive action of ar
other Power, the high contracting parties shall communicate with one another
fully and frankly in order to arrive at an understanding as to the most efficient
measures to be jointly or separately taken to meet the particular situation.
Article III.—This Agreement shall remain in force for ten years from the
time it shall take effect, and after the expiration of said period it shall continue to
be in force subject to the right of any of the high contracting parties to terminate
it upon twelve months’ notice.
Article IV.—This Agreement shall be ratified as soon as possible in accord-
ance with the constitutional methods of the high contracting parties and shall

Reservations.—The signing of this Treaty is on the part of the United States
subject to (reservations affecting) the island of Tap and what are termed the
Mandate Islands in the Pacific Ocean, north of the Equator, the negotiations in
regard to which are almost concluded, and also the reservations with respect to

WASHINGTON CONFERENCE RESOLUTIONS
; It should also be observed that the controversies to which the proposed Treaty refers
do not include questions which, according to the principles of international law,
lie exclusively within the domestic jurisdiction of the respective Powers.
In the course of his address, Senator Lodge stated : “ To put it in a few words
- the Treaty provides that the four signatory Powers will agree between themselves
1 in regard to their insular possessions and dominions in the region of the Pacific,
' and that if any controversy should arise as to such rights all the high contracting
I parties shall be invited to a joint conference looking to the adjustment of such
I 'controversy. They agree to take similar action in the case of aggression by any
I other Power upon these insular possessions or dominions. This Agreement is to
| remain in force for ten years, and, after ratification under the constitutional
■ methods of the high contracting parties, the existing agreement between Great
I Britain and Japan, which was concluded at London on July 13, 1911, shall
^ terminate. Each signer is bound to respect the rights of the others, and before
I taking action in any controversy to consult with them. There is no provision for
| the use of force to carry out any of the terms of the Agreement, and no military or
| naval stations lurk anywhere in the background or under cover of these plain and
I direct clauses. The surest way to prevent war is to remove the cause of war.
| This is an attempt to remove the cause of war over a great area of the globe’s
| surface by reliance upon the good faith and honest intentions of the nations which
J signed this Treaty solving all differences through a process of diplomacy and joint
B consideration and conciliation.
TERRITORIAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE INTEGRITY OF CHINA
The Far Eastern Committee of the Conference unanimously adopted a resolu-
l tion declaring in favour of the territorial and administrative integrity of China.
| The resolution, which was drafted and presented by Senator Root, was signed by
. eight Powers, China refraining from appending her signature as being unfitting
in a document regarding herself.
Following is the text of the resolution:—“It is the firm intention of the
: Powers attending the Conference, firstly, to respect the sovereignty, independence
and territorial and administrative integrity of China; secondly, to provide the fullest,
• unembarrassed opportunity for China to develop and to maintain an effective and
| stable Government; thirdly, to use their influence for the purpose of effectively
! establishing and maintaining the principle of equal opportunity for commerce and
industry to all nations throughout Chinese territory; fourthly, to refrain from taking
^ advantage of present conditions in order to seek special rights and privileges
: abridging the rights of subjects of friendly States, and also to refrain from
: Countenancing any action inimical to the security of such States.”
The Far Eastern Committee passed a resolution, suggested by Sir Auckland.
< Geddes, under which the Powers attending the Conference declared their inten-.
■ tion “ not to enter into any treaty, agreement, arrangement, or understanding with,
one another, or individually or collectively with any Power or Powers, which.
* infringes or impairs the principles declared by the resolution adopted by the Com-,
mittee on the 21st ult.” (i.e., Senator Root’s resolution declaring for the territorial!
and administrative integrity of China).
WASHINGTON CONFERENCE RESOLUTIONS
FOREIGN POST OFFICES IN CHINA
Representatives of the nine Powers sitting as a Committee on the Pacific a !
Far Eastern questions adopted a resolution in favour of the relinquishment -i
Foreign post-office privileges in China. All the Powers agreed upon January 1st, 19: ,
as the date of relinquishment.
The text of the resolution is :— “ Recognising the justice of the desire expres
by the Chinese Government to secure the abolition of foreign postal agencies

freaty, it is resolved:
“ I:—That the four Powers having such postal agencies agree to th
abandonment, subject to the following conditions : First, that an efficient Chin,
postal service be maintained; second, that an assurance be given by the Chin.
'Government that they contemplate no change in the pi'esent postal administrat;
;as far as the status of the foreign Co-Director-General is concerned.
“II:—To enable China and the Powers concerned to make the necessa:
■dispositions this arrangement shall come into force not later than (date blank'.
Pending the complete withdrawal of foreign postal agencies the four Powers concerned
severally undertake to afford full facilities to the Chinese Customs authorities
•examine all postal matter (except ordinary letters, whether registered or not, wit
upon external examination appear to contain written matter) passing through with .
wiew to ascertaining whether they contain articles of dutiable contraband or othe -
rwise contravening the Customs regulations and laws of China.”

recommendations regarding the means to improve’the existing conditions of adminis-
tration of justice in China and to assist the efforts of the Chinese Government '
effect such legislation and judicial reforms as will warrant the Powers in relinquishi
progressively or otherwise their rights of extra-territoriality.
The Commission shall be constituted within three months after the adjournment
of the Conference, and be instructed to submit its report and recommendations within
a vear after the Commission’s first meeting. Each of the Powers shall be deemed free
to accept or reject all or any portion of the recommendations, but in no case are any
of the Powers to make acceptance directly or indirectly dependent on China’s granting
any special concession, favour, benefit, or immunity, whether political or economic.
An additional resolution provides that non-signatory Powers having extra-terri-
torial rights in China may accede to the resolution in regard to extra-territoriality
within three months after the adjournment of the Conference.
A further additional resolution expresses China’s satisfaction with the sympathy
ofintention
the Powers in regarda toChinese
to appoint the abolition

Commission,
being understood that China is free to accept or reject any or all of the recommenda-

Commission and in every way to facilitate the successful accomplishment of its task.
WASHINGTON CONFERENCE RESOLUTIONS
RADIO STATIONS IN CHINA
A report was submitted by the Sub-Committee on Drafting relating to radio
stations for China which states that representatives of the nine Powers at the
Conference decided that all radio stations in China, whether maintained under the
provisions of the International Protocol of September, 1901, or, in fact maintained
on the grounds of any of the foreign Legations in China, shall be limited in use to
sending and receiving Glovernment messages and shall not receive or send commercial,
personal, or unofficial messages, including Press matter.
It is provided, however, that in case all other telegraphic communication is inter-
rupted, then, upon official notification, accompanied by proof of such interruption, to
the Chinese Ministry of Communications such stations may afford temporary facilities
for messages excluded as before-mentioned until the Chinese Government notify the
termination of the interruption.
All radio stations on Chinese territory operated by foreign Governments’ sub-
jects under treaties or concessions shall limit the messages sent or received by the
terms of the treaty or concession under which the respective stations are maintained.
Any radio station maintained without the authority of the Chinese Government shall
be transferred to China to be operated under the direction of the Chinese Ministry of
Communications, against compensation to the owners for the value of the installation,
as soon as the Ministry is prepared to operate the same effectively for general public
benefit. Should any question arise regarding radio stations in leased territories,
the South Manchuria railway zone, or the French Concession in Shanghai they
shall be regarded as matters for discussion between the Chinese Government and the
Governments concerned. Owners or managers of all foreign radio stations shall
confer with the Chinese Ministry of Communications for the purpose of seeking a
common arrangement to avoid interference in the use of wave lengths by wireless
stations in China, subject to such a general arrangement as may be made by the
International Conference convened for revision of the rules established by the
London International Radio Telegraph Convention of 1912.

An Act to Consolidate the Foreign Jurisdiction Acts
[4th August, 1890]

the exercise of Her Majesty’s jurisdiction out of Her dominions:
Be it therefore enacted by the Queen’s most Excellent Majesty, by
and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal,
and Commons, in this present Parhament assembled, and by the
authority of the same, as follows :
1. —It is and shall be lawful for Her Majesty the Queen to hold
exercise, and enjoy any jurisdiction which Her Majesty now has or may loreignoonnt%^
at any time hereafter have within a foreign country in the same and as
ample a manner as if Her Majesty had acquired that jurisdiction by the
cession or conquest of territory.
2. —Where a foreign country is not subject to any government from
whom Her Majesty the Queen might obtain jurisdiction in the manner
recited by this Act, Her Majesty shall by virtue of this Act have jurisdic- in countries 11
tion over Her Majesty’s subjects for the time being resident in or resort- governments "
ing to that country, and that jurisdiction shall be jurisdiction of Her
Majesty in a foreign country within the meaning of the other provisions
of this Act.
3. —Every act and thing done in pursuance of any jurisdiction of He
Majesty in n foreign country shall be as valid as if it had been done £nce of jur^dic-
according to the local law then in force in that country. tion.
4. —(1) If in any proceeding, civil or criminal, in a Court in He
Majesty’s dominions or held under the authority of Her Majesty, any exte^of hlris-
question arises as to the existence or extent of any jurisdiction of Her diction in foreign.
Majesty in a foreign country, a Secretary of State shall, on the application oonntry'
of the Court, send to the Court within a reasonable time his decision on
the question, and his decision shall for the purposes of the proceeding
be final.
(2) The Court shall send to the Secretary of State, in a document
under the seal of the Court, or signed by a Judge of the Court, questions
framed so as properly to raise the question, and sufficient answers to
those questions shall be returned by the Secretary of State to the Court,
and those answers shall, on production thereof, be conclusive evidence of
the matters therein contained.
5. —(1) It shall be lawful for Her Majesty the Queen in Counci
if she thinks fit, by Order to direct that all or any of the enactments ^“t’seheduie
described in the First Schedule to this Act, or any enactments for the
time being in force amending or substituted for the same, shall extend,
with or without any exceptions, adaptations, or modifications in the
Order mentioned, to any foreign country in which for the time being
Her Majesty has jurisdiction.
18 FOREIGN JURISDICTION ACT, 1890
(2.) Thereupon those enactments shall, to the extent of that •
jurisdiction, operate as if that country were a British possession, and as j
if Her' Majesty in Council were the Legislature of that possession.

courtis so authorised, the supreme criminal court of that possession may r
cause him to be kept in safe and proper custody, and so soon as con-
veniently may be may inquire of, try, and determine the offence, and on j
conviction punish the offender according to the laws in force in that !
behalf within that possession in the same manner as if the offence had
been committed within the jurisdiction of that criminal court.
Provided that—

tender for examination to a British court in the foreign country
where the offence is alleged to have been committed any
competent witness whose evidence he deems material for his
defence and whom he alleges himself unable to produce at the
trial in the British possession:

certified as correct under the seal of the court before which th •
evidence was taken, or the signature of a judge of that court:
(c) Thereupon the court of the British possession before which the

of that court, had the witness been produced and examined at
the trial, to be read and received as legal evidence at the trial •
(d) The court of the British possession shall admit and give effect
to the law by which the alleged offender would have been tried
by the British court in the foreign country in which his offenc
is alleged to have been committed, as far as that law relates to
the criminality of the act alleged to have been committed, or
the nature or degree of the offence, or the punishment thereof,
if the law differs in those respects from the law in force in that
British possession.
(2) Nothing in this section shall alter or repeal any law, statute, or
usage by virtue of which any offence committed out of Her Majesty’s
dominions may, irrespectively of this Act, be inquired of, tried, determined
and punished within Her Majesty’s dominions, or any part thereof.

On July 7, 1928, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Gov-
ernment* made the following declaration (translation) on the conclusion of
new Treaties with the Powers:
“The Nationalist Government, with a view to adapting themselves to the
present day circumstances and with the object of promoting the welfare of
and the friendly relations between China and different countries, have always
considered the abrogation of all the unequal Treaties and the conclusion of
new Treaties on the basis of equality and mutual respect for territorial
sovereignty as the most pressing problem at the present time. These aims have
been embodied in declarations repeatedly made by the Nationalist Government.
“Now that the unification of China is an accomplished fact, it is the task
of the Nationalist Government to make every effort to fully realize these aims.
While they will continue to afford protection to foreign lives and property in
China, according to law, the Nationalist Government hereby make the follow-
ing specific declaration with regard to all the unequal Treaties:
“(1) All the unequal Treaties between the Republic of China and other
countries, which have already expired, shall be ipso facto abrogated, and new
Treaties shall be concluded.
“(2) The Nationalist Government will immediately take steps to terminate,
in accordance with proper procedure, those unequal Treaties which have not
yet expired, and conclude new Treaties.
“(3) In the case of old Treaties which have already expired, but which
have not yet been replaced by new Treaties, the Nationalist Government will
promulgate appropriate interim regulations to meet the exigencies of such
situation.”
Interim Regulations.
At the same time the Nationalist Government issued the following Pro-
visional Regulations Governing the Relations between China and the Powers

with China have already expired, and with whom new Treaties have not yet
been concluded.
“2 All diplomatic officials and consular officials of foreign countries sta-

national law.
“3. The persons and properties of foreigners in China shall receive due
protection under Chinese Law.
“4. Foreigners in China shall be subject to the regulations of Chinese Law
and the jurisdiction of Chinese Law Courts.

of China.”

THE ANTI-WAR TREATY (KELLOGG PACT)
1.—UNITED STATES, INVITATION TO CHINA.
Legation of the United States of America
Peking, August 27, 1028.
^ Excellency:
I have the honour to inform you that the Governments of Germany, the
United States of America', Belgium, France, Great Britain, Canada, Australia,
New Zealand, South Africa, The Irish Free State, India, Italy, Japan, Poland,
and Czecho-Slovakia have this day signed in Paris a treaty binding them to
| renounce war as an instrument of national policy m their relations with one
\ another and to seek only by pacific means the settlement of or solution of all
•disputes which may arise among them
This treaty, as Your Excellency is aware, is the outcome of negotiations
which commenced on June 20, 1927, when M. Briand, Minister for Foreign
I Affairs of the French Republic!, submitted to my Government a draft of a pact
i of perpetual friendship between France and the United States. In the course
| of the subsequent negotiations this idea was extended so as to include as
original signatories of the anti-war treaty not only France and the United
I States but also Japan, the British Empire and all the Governments which
I participated with France and Great Britain in the Locarno agreements, namely,
Belgium, Czecho-Slovakia, Germany, Italy, and Poland. This procedure met
; the point raised by the British Government in its note of May 19, 1928, where
it stated that the treaty from its very nature was not one which concerned that
; Government alone but was one in which that Government could not undertake
to participate otherwise than jointly and simultaneously with the Government
in the Dominions and the Government of India; it also settled satisfactorily
the question whether there was any inconsistency between the new treaty and
the treaties of Locarno, thus meeting the observations of the French Govern-
ment as to the necessity of extending the number of original signatories.
The decision to limit the original signatories to the Powers named above,
that is, to the United States, Japan, the parties to the (Locarno treaties, the
British Dominions, and India was based entirely upon practical considerations.
( It was the desire of the United States that the negotiations be successfully con-
cluded at the earliest possible moment and that the treaty become operative
; without the delay that would inevitably result were prior universal acceptance
made a condition
moreover, precedent
that if these Powersto its
couldcoming
agreedintouponforce. My Government
a simple renunciationfelt,of
' war as an instrumtnt of national policy, there could be no doubt that most if
| not all the other Powers of the world would find the formula equally acceptable
and would hasten to lend their unqualified support to so impressive a move
j ment for the perpetuation of peace. The United States has, however, been
I anxious from the beginning that no state should feel deprived of an opport-
unity to participate promptly in the new treaty and thus not only align
itself formally and solemnly with this new manifestation of the popular demand
for world peace but also avail itself of the identical benefits enjoyed by the
original signatories Accordingly, in the draft treaty proposed by it, the
United States made specific provision for participation in the treaty by any
and every Power desiring to identify itself therewith and this same provision
is found in the definitive instrument signed to-day in Paris. It will also be
observed that the Powers signing the treaty have recorded in the preamble
*2
36 KEIXOGG PACT
their hope that every nation of the world will participate in the treaty and
in that connection I am happy to be able to report that my Government hay.
already received from several Governments informal indications that they are
prepared to do so at the earliest possible moment. This convincing evidence
of the world wide interest and sympathy which the new treaty has evoked is
most gratifying to all the Governments concerned.
In these circumstances I have the honour formally to communicate to '
Your Excellency for your consideration, and for the approval of your Gov-
ernment, if it concurs therein, the text of the above-mentioned treaty as
signed to-day in Paris, omitting only that part of the preamble which names
the several plenipotentiaries. The text is as follows:
“The President of the German Reich, the President of the United States
of America, His Majesty the King of the Belgians, the President of the
French Republic, His Majesty the King of Great Britain, Ireland, and the
British Dominions beyond the Seas, Emperor of India, His Majesty the
King of Italy, His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, the President of the
Republic of Poland, the President of the Czecho-Slovakian Republic, deeply
sensible of their solemn duty to promote the welfare of mankind;
“Persuaded that the time has come when a frank prescription of war
as an instrument of national policy should be made to the end that the
peaceful and friendly relations now existing between their peoples may be
perpetuated:
“Convinced that all changes in the relations with one another should be
sought only by pacific means and be the result of peaceful and orderly
process and that any signatory Power which shall hereafter seek to pro
mote its national interests by resort to war should be denied the benefits
furnished by this treaty;
“Hopeful that encouraged by their example all the other nations of
the world will join in this humane endeavour and by adhering to the
present treaty as soon as it comes into force, bring their peoples within the
scope of its beneficent provisions, thus uniting the civilized nations of the
world in a common renunciation of war as an instrument of their national
policy:
“Have decided to conclude a treaty and for that purpose have ap-
pointed as their respective plenipotentiaries (here follows the list of plen-
ipotentiaries) who, having communicated to one another their full powers
found in good and due form have agreed upon the following articles:
“Article I.—First, solemnly declare in the name of their respective
peoples that they condemn recourse to war for the solution of international
controversies, and renounce it as an instrument of national policy in their
relations with one another
“Article II.—The High Contracting Parties agree that the settlement
or solution of all disputes of conflicts of whatever nature or of whatever
origin they may be, which may arise among them, shall never be sought
except by pacific means
ArticleParties
tracting III.—The
namedpresent treaty shall
in the preamble be ratifiedwith
in accordance by the
theirHigh Con-
respective
constitutional requirements, and shall take effect as between them as soon
as all their several instruments of ratification shall have been deposited
at Washington.
“This treaty shall, when it has come into effect as prescribed in the
preceding paragraph, remain open as long as may be necessary for adher-
ence by all the other Powers of the world. Every instrument evidencing
KEDLOGG PACT 37
the adherence of a Power shall be deposited at Washington and the treaty
shall immediately upon its deposit become effective as between the Power
thus adhering and the other Powers parties hereto.
“It shall be the duty of the Government of the United States to
furnish each Government named in the preamble and every Government
subsequently adhering to this treaty with a certified copy of the treaty and
of every instrument of ratification or adherence. It shall also be the duty
of the Government of the United States telegraphically to notify such
Governments immediately upon the deposit with it of each instrument of
ratification cr adherence.
“In faith whereof the respective plenipotentiaries have signed this
treaty in the French and English languages, both texts having equal force,
and hereunto affixed their seals.
“Done at Paris the 27th day of August in the year one thousand nine
hundred and twenty-eight.”
The provisions regarding ratification and adherence are, as Your Ex-
cellency will observe, found in the third and last Article. That Article pro-
vides that the treaty shall take effect as soon as the ratifications of all 'he
Powers named in the preamble shall have been deposited in Washington and
that it shall be open to adherence by all the other Powers of the world, in-
struments evidencing such adherence to be deposited in Washington also. Any
Power desiring to participate in the treaty may thus exercise the right to
adhere thereto and my Government will be happy to receive at any time
appropriate notices of adherence from those Governments wishing to contribute
to the success of this new movement for world peace by bringing their peoples
within its beneficent scope. It will be noted, in this connection that, the treaty
expressly provides that when it has once come into force it shall take effect
immediately between an adhering Power and the other Parties thereto, and
it is therefore 'dear that any Government adhering promptly will fully share
in the benefits of the treaty at the very moment it comes into effect.
I shall shortly transmit for Your Excellency’s convenient reference a
printed pamphlet containing the text in translation of M. Briand’s original
proposal to my Government of June 20, 1027, and the complete record of the
subsequent diplomatic correspondence on the subject of a multilateral treaty
for the renunciation of war. I shall also transmit, as soon as received from
my Government, a certified copy of the signed treaty.
I avail myself of this opportunity to extend to Your Excellency the
renewed assurance of my highest consideration.

-38 EXTRATERRITORIALITY
“The ideals which are embodied in this treaty of extraordinary significance
are the foundation on which the national life of the Chinese people is con-
structed and I wish, therefore, immediately to avail myself of this opportunity
to inform you that this impressive movement for the perpetuation of universal
peace and for the advancement of world civilization, aroused our sympathetic
interest from the very beginning and that in its present form as a definitive
treaty, my Government has decided to adhere to it without delay.
The Chinese Government and people feel deeply confident that the inter-
dependence of the different nations of the world is making it increasingly
manifest to all thinking minds that the renunciation of war and a frank
avowal of the need of friendly relations is the only means to save civilization
from the danger of destruction. We are, indeed, brought before the supreme
test whether, after those painful experiences of a few years ago which still
linger in our memory, we are not yet convinced of the absolute necessity of
a real spirit of mutual co-operation to guide us in our national policies to-
wards one another. It is therefore a source of profound satisfaction to see
that this action of momentous importance, so ably sponsored by the United
States of America, is receiving universal response.
As you are aware, the whole conception of life among our people centres
round the ideal of harmony. It is indeed difficult, if not impossible, to find
in all our thinkers a view of life which justifies conflict in any form as the
basis of a national policy, and I venture to think that it is this idea of
harmony and peace which accounts for the stability of our civilization and
the extraordinary length of our history. The present treaty to renounce
war is, in fact, a vindication of the teachings of our revered ancestors, and
especially as these teachings, which have been amplified by our late leader,
Dr. (Sun Yat-sen, so clearly embodied in such noble principles as Universal
Justice and The Brotherhood of Nations, are also at the present moment being
applied in the building up of a new China, the Chinese people are prepared
to join with America and the other signatory Powers with more than the
usual enthusiasm in endeavouring to attain the noble ends of peace.
We are deeply sensible, however, that in order to make war really im-
possible, it is necessary to eliminate all causes which are likely to give rise
to any international dispute, and rigidly to uphold the principle of equality
and mutual respect for territorial sovereignty among all nations. My Gov-
ernment, therefore, firmly believes that all the signatory Powers will abide by
the spirit of the present treaty and remove, at the earliest opportunity, all
of China’s unequal treaties and encroachments upon her sovereignty, as for
instance, the stationing of large numbers of alien troops on her soil. For it
is clear that a free and independent China is one of the most vital factors,
whereby permanent world peace may be promoted and strengthened.
I avail myself of this opportunity to extend to you the assurance of my
highest consideration.

EXTRATERRITORIALITY.
On April 27, 1029, the Minister for Foreign Affairs addressed Notes to
the British, American, Brazilian, Dutch, French and Norwegian Envoys,
urging the early abolition of extraterritoriality. The Notes were similar in
wording, those addressed to the British, American and French Ministers being
identical.
EXTRATERRITORIALITY
The , text of the Notes to the British, American and French Ministers is
as follows: —
Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
Nanking.
April 27,19129.
Your Excellency:
I have the honour to recall to Your Excellency that the Chinese Govern-
ment, through its representatives, had had occasion to express at the Paris
Peace Conference its strong desire for the removal of limitations on China’s
jurisdictional sovereignty imposed upon her by the old treaty concluded between
China and the foreign Powers and that the Chinese fDelegation emphatically
reiterated the same desire at the Washington Conference, which placed cn
record its sympathetic disposition towards furthering the aspiration of China
for the removal of restrictions on her political, jurisdictional and administra-
tive freedom of action.
With the unification of China and the establishment upon a firm founda-,
tion of the National Government, a new era has been happily inaugurated
in the relations between our two countries through the conclusion of the recent
Tariff Treaty, and it is to b® confidently hoped that the material well-being
of our two countries will henceforth be greatly enhanced. But it is the belief
and the conviction of the Chinese Government that the promotion of such
material well-being will be accelerated by a readjustment of the relations be-
tween bur Wo countries on a basis of friendly equality in matters of juris-
diction, and if Your Excellency’s Govemment could see its way to meet the
wishes of the Chinese Government and people in this regard, it is certain
that another obstacle to the full and frank co-operation, in trade or other-
wise, between the Chinese people and foreign nationals in this country
would be happily removed and that the desire of the Chinese Government
for promoting to the fullest extent the material interests of all who choose
to associate themselves with our own people would find its early realization.
It goes .without saying that extraterritoriality in China is a legacy of
the old regime, which has not only ceased to be adaptable to the present-day
; conditions, but has become so detrimental to the smooth working of the judicial
and administrative machinery of China that her progress as a member of
the Family of Nations has been unnecessarily retarted. The inherent defects
i and inconveniences of ihe system of consular jurisdiction have been most
’ clearly pointed out by the Chinese Government on various occasions and also
by the jurists and publicists of other countries in their official utterances as
well as in their academic discussions. It is a matter for sincere regret that,
while many Governments which are playing an important role in interna-
tional affairs are eager and persistent in their endeavour to promote geniune
; friendship and harmony among nations, such anachronistic practices as only
tend to mar the friendly relations between the Chinese people and foreign
nationals should be allowed to exist at a time when justice and equity are
supposed to govern the relations of nations.
With the close contact between China and the foreign Powers, the assi-
milation of western legal conceptions by Chinese jurists and incorporation
of western legal principles in Chinese jurisprudence have proceeded very
rapidly. In addition to the numerous codes and laws now in force, the Civil
code and the Commercial code have reached the final stage of preparation
and will be ready for promulgation before January 1st, 1930. Courts and
prisons, along modern lines, have been established, and are being established,
throughout the whole country

As Your Excellency’s Government has always maintained a friendly atti-

measures for the removal of limitations on China’s sovereignity, I am happy
to express to Your Excellency, on behalf of the Chinese Government, the
desire of China to have the restrictions on her jurisdictional sovereignty re-
moved at the earliest possible date and confidently hope that Your Excellency’s
Government will take this desire of China into immediate and sympathetic
consideration and favour me with an early reply so that steps may be taken
to enable China, now unified and with a strong Central Government, to right-
fully assume jurisdiction over all nationals within her domain.
I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to Your Excellency the as-
surnce of my highest consideration.

THE AMERICAN REPLY.
Peking, Aug. 10. 1929.
Tiis Excellency
Dr. Chengtvng T. Wang,
Minister for Foreign Affairs,
Nanking
Excellency:
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the Chinese Government’s
'Note of April 27th in which there is expressed the desire that the United
States should relinquish tiie further exercise of extraterritorial jurisdiction
over its citizens in China and the hope that the American Government will
take this desire into immediate and sympathetic consideration.
I am directed by my Government to state that it is prepared to give
sympathetic consideration to the desires expressed by the Chinese Govern-
ment, giving at the same time, as it must, due consideration to the responsi-
bilities which rest upon the Government of the United States in connection
with the problem of jurisdiction over the persons and property of American
citizens in China. My Government, has, in fact, for some time past given
constant and sympathetic consideration to the national aspirations of the
people of China, and it has repeatedly given concrete evidence of its desire
to promote the realization of these aspirations in so far as action of the
United States may contribute to that result. As long ago as the year 1903,
in Article 15 of the Treaty concluded in that year between the United States
and China, the American Government agreed that it would be prepared to
relinquish the jurisdiction which it exercised over its nationals in China “when
satisfied that the state of the Chinese laws, the arrangements for their ad-
ministration, and other considerations warrant it in so doing.” As recently
as last year, the American Government gave very definite evidence of its
desire to promote the realization of China’s aspirations by concluding with
the Government of China, on July 23, 1928, a Treaty by which the two countries
agreed to incancellation
authority reference toof Customs
provisions
dutiesin onearlier
goodstreaties
importedwhereby China’s
into China by
American nationals had been restricted.
The exercise by the United States of jurisdiction over its citizens in
China had its genesis in an early agreement that, because of differences be
tween the customs of the two countries and peoples, and differences between
EXTRATERRITORIAiLIT’S 41
! their judicial systems, it would be wise to place upon the American Govern-
ment the duty of extending to American nationals in China the restraints and
the benefits of the system of jurisprudence to which they and their fellow
nationals were accustomed in the United States.
My Government deems it proper at this point to remind the Governmeut
of China that this system of American jurisdiction as administered by the
extraterritorial courts has never been extended by the United States beyond
the purposes to which it was by the Treaties originally limited. Those pur-
poses were the lawful control and protection of the persons and property of
American citizens who have established themselves in China in good faith in
accordance with the terms of the Treaties and with the knowledge and con
sent of China in the normal development of the commercial and cultural rela-
tions between the two countries. The United States has never sought to extend
its sovereignty over any portion of the territory of China.
Under the provisions of the Treaty of 1844, and other agreements concluded
thereafter which established that system, American citizens have lived and
have carried on their legitimate enterprises in China with benefit both to Hie
Chinese and tc themselves They ha\e engaped extensive’y in cultural and
in commercial enterprises involving large sums of money and extensive pro-
perties, and, as your Government has so graciously indicated in the Note
under acknowledgement, there has grown up and existed between the peoples
and the Governments of the two countries a friendship that has endured.
The American Government believe that this condition of affairs has been due
in large part to the manner in which the relations between the two peoples
have been regulated under the provisions of these agreements, the existence
of which has assured to the lives and property of American citizens in China
the security so necessary to their growth and development.
For the safety of life and property, the development and continuance of
legitimate and Deneficial business depend in the last resort, in China, as
elsewhere, upon the bertainty of protection from injury or confiscation by a
system of known law consistently interpreted and faithfully enforced by an
independent judiciary. Where such protection fails, the life and liberty of
the individual become subject to the constant threat of unlawful attack, while
his property suffers the ever-present danger of confiscation in whole or in
part through arbitrary administrative action. To exchange an assured and
tried system of administration of justice, and under which it is acknowledged
that life and property have been protected and commerce has grown and
prospered, for uncertainties in the absence of an adequate body of law and of
an experienced and independent judiciary would be fraught with danger in
both of the foregoing respects.
My Government has instructed me to say that the statement of the
Minister of Foreign Affairs of China, telegraphed to the press of the United
States on July 26th, to the effect that “all foreign interests in China purely
for legitimate purposes will be duly respected” has been noted by it with
pleasure as indicating that the Government of China has not failed to appre-
ciate the value to its foreign relations of the factors above mentioned. My
Government bids me add that it is therefore persuaded that the Government
of China will concur in its belief based as it is upon the facts set forth in
succeeding paragraphs, that the sudden abolition of the system of protection
by its extraterritorial courts in the face of conditions prevailing in China
to-day would in effect expose the property of American citizens to danger of
unlawful seizure and place in jeopardy the liberty of the persons of American
citizens.
The Chinese Government has, on several occasions during recent years,
expressed the desire that the Powers relinquish the exercise of extraterritorial
jurisdiction over their citizens In the Note under acknowledgment reference
is made to the position taken at the Washington Conference. It will be re-
called that, in pursuance of the resolution adopted at that Conference, there
was created a Commission to inquire into the present practice of extraterri-
42 EXTRATERR [TORIAEITY
torial jurisdiction in China and into the laws and the judicial system and the
methods of judicial administration of China, and that, under date of Sept
ember 16, 1926, that Commission made its report. This report contained an
account of the conditions then prevailing in the judicial system of China, as
well as a number of recommendations carefully suggested as indicating the ,
changes and improvements which would be necessary before there would be
adequately developed a system of known law and an independent judiciary 1
capable of justly controlling and protecting the lives and property of the
citizens of foreign countries doing business in China. Your Government will
recall that the Commission on Extraterritoriality which made these recom-
mendations was composed of representatives from thirteen countries including
both China and the United States and that its recommendations thoughtfully '
and reasonably conceived were unanimously adopted and were signed by all
of the Commissioners.
Because of its friendship for the Chinese people and its desire, to which
allusion has been already made, to relinquish as soon as possible extraterri-
torial jurisdiction over its own citizens in China, my Government has followed
with attentive consideration this entire subject, including particularly the
progress which has been made in carrying out its recommendations since the
rendition of this report.
It fully appreciates the efforts which are being made in China to assimilate
those western judical principles to which your Government has referred in
its Note, but it would be lacking in sincerity and candour, as well as disre-
gardful of its obligations towards its own nationals, if it did not frankly point
out that the recommendations aforesaid have not been substantially carried out
and that there does not exist in China to-day a system of independent Chinese
courts free from extraneous influence which is capable of adequately doing
justice between Chinese and foreign litigants. My Government believes that
not until these recommendations are fulfilled in far greater measure than is
the case to-day will it be possible for American citizens safely to live and do
business in China and for their property adequately to be protected without
the intervention of the consular courts.
In conclusion, my Government has directed me to state that it observes
with attentive and sympathetic interest the changes which are taking place
in China. Animated as it is by the most friendly motives and wishing ss
far as lies within Government power to be helpful, the American Government
would be ready, if the suggestion should meet with the approval of the Chinese
Government, to participate in negotiations which would have as their object
the devising of a method for the gradual relinquishment of extraterritorial
rights, either as to designated territorial areas, or as to particular kinds of
jurisdiction, or as to both, provided, that such gradual relinquishment pro
ceeds at the same time as steps are taken and improvements are achieved by
the Chinese Government in the enactment and effective enforcement of laws
based on modern concepts of jurisprudence.
I avail myself of this opportunity to extend to Your Excellency the re-
newed assurance of my highest consideration.

BRITISH REPLY.
British Legation, Peking,
at Peitaiho,
10th August, 1929.
Sir,
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Note of April 27th
in which you inform me of the desire of the National Government of the Re-
public of China that the restrictions imposed on the jurisdictional sovereignty
of China by the system of extraterritoriality now in force should be removed
at the earliest possible date with a view to the assumption of jurisdiction by
China over all nationals in her domain.
EXTRATERRITOKIALITY 43
2. I have communicated the contents of your letter to my Government
and I am now instructed to transmit to you a reply in the following sense:
3. Animated by the friendly feelings which they have always entertained
towards the Government and people of China His Majesty’s Government have
S' given their sympathetic consideration to the request of the Chinese Government
ll relating to the abolition of extraterritorial jurisdiction in China.
The high importance of this subject in its bearing both on the political
fe development of China and the future relations between China and Great
1| Britain appears to demand that it Should be closely examined from every
»,|| manner
aspect. inIn which
particular a just system
the present appreciation of the reasons came
of extraterritoriality "for which and the
into existence
p seems essential to a consideration of the proper method for dealing with the
+ : _ problem.
4. The system of extraterritoriality in force in China has its root deep
|| down in the past. For thousands of years before science had improved com-
munications, the Chinese people were secluded from the rest of the world by
P deserts and the ocean and they developed a civilisation and a policy peculiar
1 to themselves. A wide gulf was thus fixed between Europe and America on
g the one hand and China on the other.
5. In particular the conception of international relations as being inter-
B course between equal and independent states—a conception which was woven
P into the very texture of the political ideas of the nations of the West—was
■ entirely alien to Chinese modes of thought When traders of the West first
1 found their way to the coast of China, the Chinese Government found it diffi-
■ cult to allow them freely to enter into their country and mingle with their
I people nor did they recognise that the nations to which they belonged were
B the equals of China. These traders* were therefore confined to a small section
■ of a single city in one corner of the Empire and while on the one hand they
■ .were subjected to many disabilities and to grave humiliations, on the other
K hand, by a species of amorphous and unregulated extraterritoriality, which
■ was the natural outcome of these conditions, the responsibility of managing
K their own affairs and maintaining order amongst themselves was in some
■ measure left to their own initiative.
6. Relations continued for many years upon this insecure and unsatisfac-
B tory footing. Friction was often dangerously intense and conflicts not infre-
B quently arose, generally out of demands that some innocent person should be
I surrendered for execution to expirate perhaps an accidental homicide or that
i foreign authority should assume the responsibility for enforcing the revenue
laws of China.
il. The object of the first treaties was to secure recognition by China of
Great Britain’s equality with herself and to define and regulate the extrater-
ritorial status of British subjects. Relations between the two countries having
■ thus been placed on a footing of equality and mutual respect, Great Britain
was content that her nationals should continue to bear those responsibilities
I' and to labour under those disabilities which respect for the sovereignty of
| China entailed upon them. Conditions did not permit the general opening of
jT the
downinterior
to the ofpresent
China day
and the

to a limitedhasnumber

8. His Majesty’s Government recognise the defects and inconveniences
| ofon the systemoccasions
various of consular jurisdiction
drawn attention.to In which
1902theinGovernment
Article 12 ofof China have
the Treaty
of Commerce between Great Britain and China signed in that year, His
Majesty’s Government stated their readiness to relinquish their extraterritorial
rights when they were satisfied that the state of Chinese laws the arrangements
for their administration and other considerations warranted them in so doing.
They have since watched with appreciation the progress which China has
made in the assimilation of western legal principals to which reference is made
44 EXTRATERRITORIAiLITY
in your Note under reply and they have observed with deep interest the facts
set out and recommendations
traterritoriality made in the report of the Commission on Ex-
in the jear 1926.
9. More recently in the declaration which they published in (December
1926 and the proposals which they made to the Chinese authorities in January
1927 His Majesty’s Government have given concrete evidence of their desire to
meet in a spirit of friendship and sympathy the legitimate aspirations of the
Chinese people. They have already travelled some distance along the road
marked out in those documents and they are willing to examine in collabora-
tion with the Chinese Government the whole problem of extraterritorial juris-
diction with a view to ascertaining what further steps in the same direction
it may be possible to take at the present time.
10. His Majesty’s Government would however observe that the promulga-
tion of codes embodying Western legal principles represents only one portion
of the task to be accomplished before it would be safe to abandon in their
entirety the special arrangements which have hitherto regulated the residence
of foreigners in 'China. In order that those reforms should become a living
reality it appears to His Majesty’s Government to be necessary that Western
legal principles should be understood and be found acceptable by the people at
large, no less than by their rulers, and that the Courts which administer these
laws should be free from interference and dictation at the hands, not only of
military chiefs, but of groups and associations who either set up arbitrary
and illegal tribunals of their own or attempt to use legal courts for the fur-
therance of political objects rather than for the administration of equal justice
between Chinese and Chinese and between Chinese and foreigners. (Not until
these conditions are fulfilled in a far greater measure than appears to be the
case to-day will it be practicable for British merchants to reside, trade and
own

China with the samemerchants

Great Britain. Any agreement purporting to accord with privileges to British
merchants would remain for some time to come a mere paper agreement to
which it would be impossible to give effect in practice. Any attempt prema-
turely to accord such privileges would not only be of no benefit to British mer-
chants but might involve the Government and people of China in political
and economic difficulties
11. So long as these conditions subsist there appears to be no practicable
alternative to maintaining though perhaps in a modified form the Treaty Port
system that has served for nearly a century to regulate intercourse between
China and British subjects with her domain. Some system of extraterri-
toriality is the natural corollary for the maintenance of the Treaty Port sys-
tem and the problem as it present itself to His Majesty’s Government at the
present moment is to discover what further modifications in that system beyond
those already made and alluded to above it would be desirable and practicable
to effect.
12. His Majesty’s Government await further proposals from the National
Government as to the procedure now to be adopted for examining this question
and they instruct me to assure Your Excellency that they will continue to
maintain towards any such proposals the same friendly and helpful attitude

EXTRATERRITORIALITY 45
FRENCH REPLY.
The following is the English translation of the reply of the French Gov-
ernment to China’s Note concerning the abolition of extraterritoriality:
August 10, 1929.
Monsieur le Ministre,
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the note dated April 27
in which you express the hope that the French Government would take into
immediate and favourable consideration the desire of the Chinese Government
to be enabled to exercise its jurisdiction over all nationals residing in China.
Having taken note of this communication which has been the object of its
careful attention, the French Government authorizes me to recall to Your Ex-
cellency that during the Washington Conference it gave voluntarily its approval
to the resolution of December 10, 1921, according to the terms of which an
international Commission was established to study the question of extraterri-
toriality in China.
This Commission, in its report of September 16, 1926, made recommenda-
tions, the application of which, might, in its judgment, permit the Powers
to relinquish extraterritoriality.
Taking into consideration the facts stated by the said Commission, the
French Government considers that, in order to realize the conditions favourable
for the renunciation of extraterritorial rights enjoyed by its nationals in
virtue of the treaty of 1858, it is indispensable that the Chinese Government
proceed to the reform of its laws, its judicial institutions and its method
of judicial administration, in conformity with the recommendations of the
Commission, recommendations to which the Chinese Delegate has given his
approval. It is when these reforms have been carried out and effectively put
into practice that the rights of residence, of property owning and trade
throughout the whole of China, the necessary counterpart of the relinquishment
of extraterritoriality, might constitute for the French nationals a real ad-
vantage equivalent to that which the Chinese enjoy in France.
The French Government, animated by the friendly feelings which it was
always cherished towards the Chinese people and of which another proof was
given last year by the signing of the Tariff Autonomy Treaty, has no doubt
that the Chinese Government will make every effort to fulfill the conditions
necessary to the examination of the problem of extraterritoriality.
It is in this spirit that the French Government, faithful to its liberal
traditions, has authorized me to give you assurance that it will continue to
take an active interest in the reforms to that end which remain to be aceoim
plished and that it will carefully note all the facts which tend to show \.hat
these reforms are effectively carried out in the administration and judicial
practice of the Government authorities and the people of China.
On the other hand, the French Government will not fail to avail itself
of the opportunities as they arise to co-operate profitably with Chinese authori-
ties in the endeavour to hasten a state of affairs which would permit it to
modify with the necessary guarantees the present jurisdictional status of the
French nationals in China.
THE NETHERLANDS’ REPLY.
The following is the English translation of the reply of the Netherlands
Covernment to China’s note concerning the abolition of extraterritoriality.
Legation des Pays-Bas,
Peking, Aug. 10. 1929.
Monsieur le Ministre,
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency’s Note of
April 27 last in which the Chipese Government expresses the hope that Her
Majesty’s Government would take into sympathetic consideration the desire
EXTRATERRITORIAlLITY
of China to come to an agreement by which the limitation on China’s jurisdic-
tional sovereignty will be removed and which will enable the Chinese Govern-
ment to assume jurisdiction over all nationals within its domain.
Your Excellency expressed the conviction that the reciprocal advantages
resulting from the tariff convention recently concluded between our two
countries would be considerably enhanced if the relations between our two
countries were regulated on the basis of equality in matters of jurisdiction,
and that by the abolition of the system of consular jurisdiction an obstacle
would be removed for the full co-operation between the Chinese people and
foreign nationals especially in commercial matters; the desire of the Chinese
Government for promotig the material interests of all who choose to associate
themselves with the Chinese people would in that case find its early realization.
Her Majesty’s Government has given this request its most careful consi-
deration, and now instructs me to inform Your Excellency that just as it
was happy to join the other powers in bringing about the Resolution adopted
on Oecember 10th 1921 by the Washington Conference on the (Limitation of
Armaments, which placed on record its sympathetic disposition towards China’s
aspiration, so it will be pleased to co-operte with these Powers and with
China for the realization and fulfilment of China’s desire with regard to the
question of jurisdiction.
It may here be recalled that with this end in view Her Majest’s Govern-
ment wholeheartedly participated in the work of the International Commission
which was instituted as a result of the above-mentioned Resolution and which
drew up a number of valuable recommendations for the benefit of the Chinese
Government. .
It cannot

the possibility

for Netherlands force with regard
to enjoy to foreigners
liberty of trade,
of residence and of the exercise of civil rights including that of owing property
throughout the whole of China is in the same way closely connected with the
degree of security existing in the interior of the country and with the question
of what safeguards the Chinese judicial institutions offer with a view to their
independence gnd their immunity from interference by military and political
authorities.
I am desired by Her Majesty’s Government to assure with Excellency
of its unalterable sympathy towards China with regard to this question and
of its readiness when the introduction and the effective acceptance by the
country of modern institutions guaranteeing the administration of just laws
by an independent and unassailable judiciary will have rendered useful re-
forms possible in the matter of jurisdiction over Netherlands nationals, to
act in unison with the Governments of the Powers who were represented at the
Conference of Washington with the object object of examining the possibility
of meeting the aspiration to which the Chinese Delegation at the said Con-
ference gave expression and which is reiterated in Your Excellency’s Note
under reply.

NORWEGIAN REPLY.
The following is the English translation of the reply of the Norwegian
| Government to China’s Note concerning the abolition of extraterritoriality.
Legation de Norvege
Peking, Aug. 14, 19i29.
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency’s note
of April 27 expressing on behalf of the Chinese Government the desire of
!? 'China to have the restriction on her jurisdictional sovereignty removed and
the hope that the Norwegian Government will take this desire into immediate
\ and sympathetic consideration in order to enable China to assume jurisdiction
i over all nationals within her domain
Having communicated the contents of the Note to my Government I am
now instructed to recall to Your Excellency that the Norwegian Government
has already, in concluding, on November 12 last year, a new treaty with the
Chinese Government, given concrete evidence of the friendly feeling which
| Norway has always entertained towards China and the Chinese people.
My Government now desires me to reiterate, the assurance, already ex-
pressed on that occasion, that the same friendly feelings will not be found to
have changed when the question of revising other clauses of the treaty of
= 1847 between Norway and China is brought up for discussion.
As to the question of removing the restrictions pn China’s jurisdictional
sovereignty (by relinquishing the consular jurisdiction) this question was
Already given sympathetic consideration when, in 1926, a Norwegian delegate
joined the international Commission to inquire into extraterritorial jurisdic-
tion in China.
I may add that the administration of the Norwegian jurisdiction in China
has never been extended beyond the purpose for which it was introduced, and

CHINESE REPLY TO AMERICA.
Nanking, September 5, 1929.
Monsieur le Ministre:
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency’s Note
; -of August 10th in which you are good enough to transmit to me the views
of your Government in regard to the request of the Chinese Government, con-
tained in my Note of April 27, for the removal of restrictions on China’s juris-
dictional sovereignty.
' The Chinese
ernment Government
that it has, for someistime

constant byandthesympathetic
American Gov-
cc>n-
| sideration
has repeatedly given concrete evidence of its desire to promote theandrealisation
to the national aspirations of the people of China that it
of those aspirations. The traditional friendship between China and America
has not only a common material basis, but is also deeply rooted in the idealism
which is common to the Chinese and the American people. The American peo-
ple, with their love of liberty, their zeal for justice, their desire to further
the advance of civilisation and their sympathy for the aspirations of nations
in their spiritual re-birth all of which reveal unmistakably the noble attitude
of the American mind, have aroused the admiration and won the love of the
Chinese people. This idealism has manifested itself in the abolition of slavery,
the growth of democracy, and the endeavour to establish a reign of universal
EXTRATEKHITORlAlLITY
peace, which has given a new hope to the human race. It is this idealism
that accounts for the steadfastness of the American Government and people
in their friendship for China through all the vicissitudes of her fortunes. It
is again this idealism that has prompted th American Government to give
sympathetic consideration to the desire of thee Chinese Government in connec-
tion with the question of jurisdiction and to decide to enter into negotiations-
for the devising of a method leading to the eventual abolition of Extraterri-
torial privileges.
It seems to me, however, from a careful consideration of your Note that
the America Government is not yet free from misgivings as to the safety of
American lives and property after the abolition of Extraterritoriality. The
American Government is undoubtedly aware of the fact that the liberty of
American citizens and the security of their property rights do not so much
depend upon the continued exercise of jurisdiction by their own Consular
Courts, as upon the timely removal of hindrances to the free and full assertion
of China’s sovereign rights. Extraterritorial privileges, while apparentjy bene-
ficial to foreigners in China in giving the impression of security and safety,
have really hadin the
by producing the latter
most injurious
the feelingeffect on their relations
of humiliation withoftheresentment
and a sense Chinese
which have always caused mutual suspicion and the consequent loss of mutual
confidence, thus undermining the very foundations of friendly relations and
not infrequently giving rise to complications and conflicts. Such conflicts and
duplications could be easily avoided were there none of those special privileges.
In this connexion, it may be pointed out that towards nationals of certain
countries who have lost their extraterritorial privileges and have submitted to
the jurisdiction of China, the Chinese people enterian the most friendly feel-
ings and repose in them great confidence, a valuable asset, it will be admitted,
in the intercourse, commercial or otherwise, of any two peoples. Such marked
difference in the relations between Chinese and nationals of Extraterritorial
Powers on the one hand and those between the Chinese and the nationals of
non-extraterritorial Powers on the other will, as long as the extraterritorial
system is retained, become more and more pronounced, and much as the Chinese
Government may try to discountenance this difference of attitude on the part
of its citizens, it will not be within its powers to control the natural expression
of their fee-lings.
In the event, however, of American citizens relinquishing their Extraterri-
torial privileges, they may rest assured that they will enjoy the same confidence
of the Chinese people and hence the same material benefits as the nationals of
non-extraterritorial Powers. Moreover, the Chinese Government will continue
to exercise, in accordance with the well established principle of international
law, due diligence in preventing any possible violations of the private rights
of American citizens and perform its duty, in the fullest possible measure', in
all matters relating to the redress of wrongs.
In your Note under acknowledgment reference is made to the report of
the Commission on Extraterritoriality submitted to the interested Governments
pursuant to a resolution adopted at the Washington Conference. The American
Government must be aware of the fact that since the completion of that re-
port, conditions in China have greatly changed, and in particular both the poli-
tical and judicial systems have assumed a new aspect. To pass judgment on the
present state of law and judicial administration in China in the light of
what is contained in the report of 1926 is doing no justice to the steadfast
policy of the National Government.
At this point, it may be worth while to recall the circumstances under
which the American Government renounced its rights under the Capitulations
with Turkey. The Chinese judicial system, it will be admitted, does not
suffer the least in comparison with that of Turkey at the time of the abolition
of the Capitulations. And yet the American Government, realising that the
Turkish people, with legitimate aspirations and under the guidance of a new
and strong Government, could accomplish great things in a short space of
EXTRATERRITORIALITY
time, had the wisdom and foresight to relinquish its special pri-
vileges similar to those enjoyed hitherto by its nationals in China, and has
had the satisfaction to find that the life and property of American citizens
in Turkey have subsequently received full and adequate protection. The
American Government, which did full justice to the Turkish people in the
matter of jurisdiction without any apprehension and with satisfactory results,
will no doubt solve the problem of Extraterritoriality in China in the same
friendly and sympathetic spirit.
It has been perhaps brought to the knowledge of the American Govern-
ment that the Chinese Government has recently concluded treaties with several
other Powers which have agreed to relinquish Extraterritoriality on January
1, 1930. If it had appeared to the Government of those Powers, as it appears
to the American Government, that there did not yet exist in this country
a judiciary capable of rendering justice to their nationals and a body of laws
adequate to give protection to their lives and property, they would certainly
have refused to give up their privileged position and enter into the engage-
ments they have made. Now that many of the Powers which participated in
the discussions of Extraterritoriality at the Washington Conference have al-
ready shown by an overt act that that system has outlived its usefulness and
should be replaced by one in harmony with the actual state of things, there
is no reason why the United States, upon which fell the honour of initiating
the labours of that Conference, should not act in unison with those Powers,
thus removing the difficulties which the Chinese Government might otherwise
encounter in extending jurisdiction over all foreign nationals.
It is the hope of the Chinese Government that whatever misgivings and
apprehensions the American Government may have in considering the subject
under discussion will be now dispelled, and that, in the further examination
of this subject, it will be actuated by much weighter considerations, namely,
the enhancement of friendship between the Chinese and the American people,
and hence the promotion of the material interests of both. It is with this last
object in view that the Chinese Government now requests the American Gov-
ernment to enter into immediate discussions with the authorised representative
of the Chinese Government for making the necessary arrangements whereby
Extraterritoriality in China will be abolished to the mutual satisfaction of
both Governments.

CHINESE REPLY TO FRANCE.
Nanking, September 7, 1929.
Monsieur le Ministre,
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency's Note
of August 10th in which you are good enough to transmit to me the views of
your Government in regard to the request of the Chinese Government, con-
tained in my Note of April 27th for the removal of restrictions on China’s
jurisdictional Government.
The Chinese Government is pleaded to be reminded by the French Govern-
ment that it gave another proof of the friendly feelings it always entertained
towards the Chinese people by signing the Tariff Autonomy Treaty last year.
The friendship between China and France rests not only on common material
interests, but also on close cultural ties and the ideals which have been an
unfailing source of inspiration both to the Chinese and the French people in
their political evolution. It is therefore with pleasure that the Chinese
Government takes note of the sympathetic response of the French Government
to the desire of China expressed in my last Note.
50 EXTRATERRITORIALITY
In your Note under acknowledgment, however, reference is made to the
Report of the Commission on Extraterritoriality submitted to the interested
Governments, pursuant to a resolution adopted at the Washington Conference.
The French Government is undoubtedly aware of the fact that since the
completion of that report, conditions in China have greatly changed, and,
in particular, both the political and judicial systems have assumed a new
aspect. To pass judgment on the present state of laws and judicial administra-
tion in China in the light of what is contained in the Report of 1926 is doing
no justice to the steadfast policy of the National Government.
Furthermore, it may be worth while to recall the circumstances under
which the French Government renounced its rights under the Capitulations
with Turkey. The Chinese judicial system, it will be admitted, does not suffer
the least in comparison with that of Turkey at the time of the abolition
of the Capitulations. And yet the French Government, realizing that the
Turkish people with legitimate aspirations and under the guidance of a new
and strong Government could accomplish great things in a short space of
time, had the wisdom and foresight to relinquish its special privileges similar
to those enjoyed hitherto by its nationals in China and has had the satisfaction
to find that the life and property of French citizens in Turkey have subsequently
received full and adequate protection. The French Government which did
full justice to the Turkish people in the matter of jurisdiction without any
apprehensions and with satisfactory results will no doubt solve the problem of
Extraterritoriality in China in the same friendly and sympathetic spirit.
It has been perhaps brought to the knowledge of the French Government
that the Chinese Government has recently concluded treaties with several other
Powers which have agreed to relinquish extraterritorial privileges on January
1st, 1930. If it had appeared to the Governments of those Powers, as it appears
to the French Government, that there did not yet exist in this country a
judiciary capable of rendering justice to their nationals and a body of laws
adequate to give protection to their lives and property, they would certainly
have refused to give up their privileged position and enter into the engage-
ments they have made. Now that many of the Powers which participated in
the discussions of Extraterritoriality of the Washington Conference have
already shown by an overt act that that system has outlived its usefulness and
should be replaced by one in harmony with the actual state of things, there is
no reason whyof the
deliberation thatFrench Government,
Conference, should which

with those in the
thus removing the difficulty which the Chinese Government might otherwise en-
counter in extending jurisdiction over all foreign nationals.
It is the hope of the Chinese Government that whatever misgiving and
apprehensions the French Government may have in considering the subject un-
der discussion will be now dispelled, and that, in the further examination
of this subject, it will be actuated by much weightier considerations, namely
the enhancement of friendship between the Chinese and the French people,
and hence the promotion of the material interests of both. It is with this
last object in view that the Chinese Government now requests the French
Government to enter into immediate discussions with the authorised repre-
sentative of the Chinese Government for making the necessary arrangements
whereby Extraterritoriality in China will be abolished to the mutual satis-
faction of both Governments.
I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to Your Excellency the assur-
ance of my highest consideration.

THE UNITED STATES COUET EOH CHINA
(Chapter 3934, Prescribing the Jurisdiction of the Court)
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States
of America in Congress Assembled, That a Court is hereby established, to be called
the United States Court for China, which shall have exclusive jurisdiction in all
cases and judicial proceedings whereof jurisdiction may now be exercised by United
States Consuls and Ministers by law and by virtue of treaties between the United
States and China, except in so far as the said jurisdiction is qualified by Section 2
of this Act. The said Court shall hold sessions at Shanghai, China, and shall also
hold sessions at the cities of Canton, Tientsin, and Hankow at stated periods, the
dates of such sessions at each city to be announced in such manner as the Court shall
direct, and a session of the Court shall be held in each of these cities at least once
annually. It shall be-within the power of the judge, upon due notice to the parties
in litigation, to open and hold Court for the hearing of a special cause at any place
permitted by the treaties, and where there is a United States Consulate, when, in
his judgment, it shall be required by the convenience of witnesses, or by some public
interest. The place of sitting of the Court shall be in the United States Consulate
at each of the cities, respectively.
That the seal of the said United States Court for China shall be the arms of
the United States, engraved on a circular piece of steel of the size of a half dollar,
with these words on the margin, “ The Seal of the United States Court for China.”
The seal of said Court shall be provided at the expense of the United States.
All writs and processes issuing from the said Court, and all transcripts, records,
copies, jurats, acknowledgments, and other papers requiring certification or to be
under seal, may be authenticated by said seal, and shall be signed by the clerk of
said Court. All processes issued from the said Court shall bear test from the day
of such issue.
Sec. 2.—The Consuls of the United States in the cities of China to which they
are respectively accredited shall have the same jurisdiction as they now possess in
civil cases where the sum or value of the property involved in the controversy does
not exceed five hundred dollars United States money, and in criminal cases where the
punishment for the offence charged cannot exceed by law one hundred dollars’ fine
or sixty days’ imprisonment, or both, and shall have power to arrest, examine, and
discharge accused persons or commit them to the said Court. From all final judg-
ments of the Consular Court either party shall have the right of appeal to the United
States Court for China: Provided, Also, That appeal may be taken to the United
States Court for China from any final judgment of the Consular Courts of the United
States in Korea so long as the rights of extra-territoriality shall obtain in favour of
the United States. The said United States Court for China shall have and exercise
supervisory control over the discharge by Consuls and Vice-Consuls of the duties
prescribed by the laws of the United States relating to the estates of decedents in
China. Within sixty days after the death in China of any citizen of the United
States, or any citizen of any territory belonging to the United States, the Consul or
Vice-Consul whose duty it becomes to take possession of the effects of such deceased
person under the laws of the United States shall file with the clerk of said Court a
THE UNITED STATES COUKT FOR CHINA 87
sworn inventory of such effects, and shall, as additional effects come from time to
time into his possession, immediately file a supplemental inventory or inventories of
the same. He shall also file with the clerk of said Court within said sixty days a
schedule under oath of the debts of said decedent, so far as known, and a schedule
or statement of all additional debts thereafter discovered. Such Consul or Vice-
Consul shall pay no claims against the estate without the written approval of the
judge of said Court, nor shall he make sale of any of the assets of said estate with-
out first reporting the same to said judge and obtaining a written approval of said
sale, and he shall likewise within ten days after any such sale report the fact of such
sale to said Court, and the amount derived therefrom. The said judge shall have
power to require at any time reports from Consuls or Vice-Consuls in respect of all
their acts and doings relating to the estate of any such deceased person. The said
Court shall have power to require, where it may be necessary, a special bond for the
faithful performance of his duty to be given by any Consul or Vice-Consul into
whose possession Hie estate of any such deceased citizen shall have come in such
amount and with such sureties as may be deemed necessary, and for failure to give
such bond when required, or for failure to properly perform his duties in the
premises, the Court may appoint some other person to take charge of said estate,
such person having first given bond as aforesaid. A record shall be kept by the
clerk of said Court of all proceedings in respect of any such estate under the
provisions hereof.
Sec. 3.—That appeals shall lie from all final judgments or decrees of said Court
to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals of the ninth judicial circuit, and thence
appeals and writs of error may be taken from the judgments or decrees of the said
Circuit Court of Appeals to the Supreme Court of the United States in the same class
of cases as those in which appeals and writs of error are permitted to judgments of
said Court of Appeals in cases coming from District and Circuit Courts of the United
States. Said appeals or writs of error shall be regulated by the procedure govern-
ing appeals within the United States from the District Courts to the Circuit Courts of
Appeal, and from the Circuit Courts of Appeal to the Supreme Court of the United
States, respectively, so far as the same shall be applicable; and said Courts are here-
by empowered to hear and determine appeals and writs of error so taken.
Sec. 4.—The jurisdiction of said United States Court, boh original and not
appeal, in civil and criminal matters, and also the jurisdiction of the Consular Courts
in China, shall in all cases be exercised in conformity with said treaties and the laws
of the United States now in force in reference to the American Consular Courts in
China, and all judgments and decisions of said Consular Courts, and all decisions,
judgments, and decrees of said United States Court, shall be enforced in accordance
with said treaties and laws. But in all such cases when laws are deficient in the
provisions necessary to give jurisdiction or to furnish suitable remedies, the common
law and the law as established by the decisions of the Courts of the United States
shall be applied by said Court in its decisions and shall govern the same subject to
the terms of any treaties between the United States and China.
Sec. 5.—That the procedure of the said Court shall be in accordance, so far as
practicable, with the existing procedure prescribed for Consular Courts in China
in accordance with the Revised Statutes of the United States: Provided, however,
that the judge of the said United States Court for China shall have authority from
time to time to modify and supplement said rules of procedure. The provisions of
sections forty-one hundred and six and forty-one hundred and seven of the Revised
Statutes of the United States allowing Consuls in certain cases to summon associates
shall have no application to said Court.
Sec. 6.—There shall be a district attorney, a marshal, and a clerk of said Court
with authority possessed by the corresponding officers of the District Courts in the
United States as far as may be consistent with the conditions of the laws of the
United States and said treaties. The judge of said Court and the district attorney,
who shall be lawyers of good standing and experience, marshal, and clerk shall be
THE UNITED STATES COURT FOR CHINA
appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and
shall receive as salary, respectively, the sums of eight thousand dollars per annum
for said judge, four thousand dollars per annum for said district attorney, three
thousand dollars per annum for said marshal, and three thousand dollars per annum
for said clerk. The judge of the said Court and the district attorney shall, when
the sessions of the Court are held at ether cities than Shanghai, receive in addition
to their salaries their necessary expenses during such sessions not to exceed ten
dollars per day for the judge and five dollars per day for the district attorney.
Sec. 7.—The tenure of office of the judge of said Court shall be ten years, unless
sooner removed by the President for cause ; the tenure of office of the other officials
of the Court shall be at the pleasure of the President.
Sec. 8.—The marshal and the clerk of said Court shall be required to furnish
bond for the faithful performance of their duties, in sums and with sureties to be
fixed and approved by the judge of the Court. They shall each appoint, with the
written approval of said judge, deputies at Canton and Tientsin, who shall also be
required to furnish bonds for the faithful performance of their duties, which bonds
shall be subject, both as to form and sufficiency of the sureties, to the approval of
the said judge. Such deputies shall receive compensation at the rate of five dollars
for each day the sessions of the Court are held at their respective cities. The office
of marshal in China now existing in pursuance of section forty-one hundred and
eleven of the Revised Statutes is thereby abolished.
Sec. 9.—The tariff of fees of said officers of the Court shall be the same as the
tariff already fixed for the Consular Courts in China, subject to amendment from
time to time by order of the President, and all fees taxed and received shall be paid
into the Treasury of the United States.

TOKYO
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
square miles andground, and into
is divided possessing abundant foliage. The city covers 198
35 wards.
TOKYO 103
In 1603, when lyeyasu became 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 population and
init splendour. The transfer

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, Kabuki Theatre, 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 Meiji 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 imiposing 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 Uyeno. 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 ten splendid bridges all re-
built since tihe earthquake The biggest of them are called, commencing on

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, pommercial and other colleges.
Tokyo was opened to foreign residence in 1870 and an area 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

YOKOHAMA
Yokohama is situated on the Bay of Tokyo, in lat. 35 deg. 26 min. II sec
N and long. 139 deg. 39 min. 20 sec., and is distant about 20 miles from
the capital, with which it is connected by several lines of steam and electric
railways. A very small fishing village when it was opened to foreign trade in
1859, its proximity to the capital quickly led to its development and it was
tor many years the leading port of Japan. The surrounding scenery
is hPly and pleasing, and on clear days the snow-crowned summit
and graceful outlines of Fuji-san, a volcanic mountain 12,370 feet
high—celebrated

waterfront runs a good road called the Bund, on which stand a number of
imposing buildings, of which the principal ones are the Hongkong and
Shanghai Bank, the American Consulate, the Standard-Vacuum Oil Co.’s offices, the
: United Club and the New Grand Hotel. The reconstructed city includes many tine
examples of modern architecture, notably the Prefectural offices, rebuilt at a cost of
3 million yen, the Silk Conditioning House, the Customs House, General Post
Uffice, the British and American Consulates, Japanese and Foreign Banks
and office buildings. A line cricket and recreation club and a racecourse are
[situated about two miles from the Settlement. Three excellent golf links are
within a short distance of the city. A good boating and yachting club also
exist, providing facilities for deep-sea bathing. The railway station is well
designed and commodious. The town is in the enjoyment of an excellent
water supply, large waterworks having been completed in 1887. The municipal

pier accommodating the largest steamers, and 12 mooring wharves for large
ocean-going vessels, most of these wharves accommodating vessels of any size.
The Yokohama Dock Company has three dry docks of 628 ft., 489 ft., and 380
ft., docking length, 98 ft., 77 ft., and 76 ft. width of entrance, and 33 ft.,
26 ft. and 21 ft. of water on the blocks respectively, and a mooring basin of
600 ft. by 100 ft. by 25 ft.
In the very severe earthquake, which was followed by a huge conflagra-
tion, on September 1st, 1923, close on 30,000 people are known to have
perished. Another 3,569 were missing and believed to be dead, and 66,371

destroyed was nearly70,000
out of a total of 93,000. The shipping in harbour was placed in serious
jeopardy by the blazing oil from the oil-tanks on shore running into and
spreading over the water.
The population of Yokohama was about 777,500 in 1938 thus being the sixth
largest city in the Umpire.
Yokohama chiefly subsists on its foreign trade, especially the valuable
silk trade, which from the time of the opening of the country has always

from early times, becoming one of the centres of communication between
Eastern and Western ports of Japan. After the construction of Nagoya
Castle, famous for its golden dolphins, Nagoya grew into ;a large an perous city. After the Restoration of Meiji, with the opening of railways

railways, the City pf Nagoya, being in close proximity to Atsuta, has grown
rapidly in importance.
Not only is Nagoya Station an important intermediate station on the
Tokaido Main Bine, but it is also a terminus of the Kansai Line which goes
to Osaka, passing through Mie and Nara Prefectures, and of the Chuo Line
which running through Gifu, Nagano !'anid Yamanashi Prefectures
finally reaches Tokyo. It is thus one of the most important railway centres
in all Japan. Besides these lines there is direct connection between the

stations in the course of one year is approximately fifteen millions, while nearly
three million tons of goods are handled.
In addition to these Imperial Government Piailways, there are a number
of private electric railways operating radial lines from the city, putting it
into close connection with a large number of cities and towns in the neigh-
bourhood. Turning to' transportation within the city, there are 2,420 kilo-

so that great efforts are being made in connection with the work of city
planning to broaden and systematize them.
The street railway system, is owned and operated by the municipality :
it has 55.5 kilometres of track on the main streets, and carries a total of
66,761,162 passengers annually. This service is supplemented by the Tsukiji
Electric Railway and Shin-Mikawa Electric Railway. These private lines
make connections between the centre of the city and the outlying parts. Light
motor-buses are operated on all the principal streets at a uniform fare of six
sen.
There are 66 post and telegraph offices throughout the city and for wireless
messages, a despatching station at Yosami, and a receiving station at Yok-
kaichi, both towns near Nagoya, have recently been opened. These stations
are supervised and operated by the Nagoya Central Wireless Telegram Office,

and at these stations communication is maintained with Germany, Poland,
France, and Great Britain. Telephones are a Government Monopoly in
Japan, and are extensively used.

Era, the madeof inthe industry

exitended throughout
the Empire. As a distributing and collecting point Nagoya has become
known both at home and abroad, being placed just after Osaka and Tokyo.
In reviewing the movement of goods a number of years ago, it is noticeable
that most of the transportation was by land, and very little by water. But
since the opening of Nagoya Harbour to foreign commerce in 1907, the volume
of goods shipped by water has greatly increased.
In 1935 the total tonnage passing through the harbour was 2,050,627 tons,
while that handled by land amounted to about 3,713,399 tons.

while those suchareas

From early times Nagoya has made remarkable progress, especially in
industrial arts, on account of low wages, and the diligence and special skill
in handicraft of the workers. Following the spirit of the times machinery
has been introduced and factories have largely taken the place of household
industries. The city is fortunate in having at its disposal an abundant
supply of electric power which is indispensable in modern industries. This
fact, together with the facilities for transportion on land and sea, has made
Nagoya the largest industrial centre in Japan next to Osaka.

manures.

pumps, vehicles, clocks etc. Special industries include steel, castings,
bronze, coal-gas, etc.
In this part of Japan are a number of rivers which are capable of pro-
ducing an abundant supply of hydro-electric power. Thus, power can be had
in sufficient quantity for all needs, a fact which has contributed greatly to
the development of industries in Nagoya. At present the electric power

The port of Nagoya lies to the south-west within the city limits, and is
situated at the northern extremity of Ise Bay, which, opens to the south-west
and is located between thirty-five degrees and thirty-five degrees five minutes
North Latitude, and one hundred and thirty-six degrees forty minutes and
one hundred and thirty-six degrees fifty-three minutes East Longitude. As
Chita Peninsula stretches to the south-east, it is protected from the dreaded
typhoons which come from that direction, and the port receives little damage
from wind and wave. The heart of the city is closelv connected with the
port by the Horikawa, Shinhorikawa, and Nakagawa Canals, and the Rinko
Railway Line.
NAGOYA 136
The construction of Nagoya Hanbour began in 1896. Years ago the third
stage of the work was completed with an aggregate expenditure
of 15,490,000 yen. The area of the wharves is 1.52 square kilometres, with an
anchoring capacity of 96,000 tons for thirty-eight steamers of ten thousand
tons or less. At present the harbour can accommodate 40 vessels with a total
tonnage of 206,000 tons. But in order to meet the requirements of Nagoya and
of mid-Japan which had been making rapid expansion, the fourth stage of the
construction was begun in 1928 at an estimate of 10,120,000 yen. This work
will be completed in 1938, when the area of the wharves will be increased1 to
2.23 square kilometres, and the anchoring capacity to 333,000 tons for 66
steamers including 11 ten thousand tonners
Nagoya Harbour is an important port of call for many lines, trade
with America, Europe, China, the South Sea Islands, Australia, and Africa,
is carried on directly from this port by thirty-three lines.
The port was opened to foreign trade in 1907, and domestic and foreign
trade have developed with remarkable rapidity.

town clusters at the foot and on the slope of a bold rock known to foreigners
as Hakodate Head, about 1,000 feet in height, which is within a fortified area
to which the public are not admitted. The surrounding country is hilly,

The popula-
lation of Hakodate according to the last official census in October 1930 was
197,252.
The foreign trade of the port is small, but has been steadily growing
during the last few years, mainly owing to the development of the Kamtschatka
salmon fisheries, for which Hakodate is the principal entrepot. In the
valuable and extensive fisheries on the coast and in the surrounding seas,
however, the chief exports of the future from Hakodate are to be looked for.
Increasing quantities of dried fish and seaweed are exported annually, mostly
to China. The mineral resources of Hokkaido are large. Washing for gold dust

Magnetic iron is also obtained. Oil resource is not considered to be so rich. The
kerosene wealth of this district is said to be considerable, but none of the
borings has so far given a high yield. At Nukimi-Mura on Soya Strait—in
the extreme north—oil well were discovered long ago, and have been worked
by hand for some years. The oil, in fact, overflows into the sea, and in
stormy weather boats take refuge at Nukimi-Mura, as the sea is rendered

smooth by the oil. Oil also exists at Nigori Kawa, near Hakodate; at Kaya-
begori, near Shiribeshi; at Itaibetsu, pn a tributary of the Urin River ("output
800 gallons per day); at Kotamimura and Tsukisama Mura (Imperial pro-
perty), near Sapporo; and near Abashiri, where the wells are considered rich.
Hakodate is reached in 17| hours from Tokyo, via Aomori, between which
place and Hakodate there is a very good steamship service, maintained by the
Government Railways.by rail,

to Odomari, in Karafuto (Japanese Saghalien). The Hakodate Harbour Im-
provement Works were completed in 1900, and a patent slip capable of taking
vessels up to 1,500 tons was also finished. There is a dry dock to accommo-
date ships up to 10,000 tons at ordinary spring tides, and at highest spring
tides the dock is capable of receiving the largest battleships in the Japanese
Navy.
In August, 1907, half the city of Hakodate was destroyed by a fire. The
number of houses destroyed in the conflagration was ascertained to be 8,977,
rendering about 60,000 persons homeless. All the foreign residents with the
exception of the American Consular Agent were burnt out, saving nothing,
and the total loss was estimated at not less than Yen 50,000,000.
Another disastrous fire occurred on the evening of March 21, 1934 in the
eastern section of the city during a terrific hurricane. Three-fifths of the city
were completely burnt out within a few hours, and only the changed direction
of the wind just before midnight saved the city from, being entirely wiped out.
The loss of lives and property was estimated at nearly 2,000 deaths,
140,000 persons rendered homeless, 25,000 houses destroyed, and Yen 1601)00,000
worth of property.
As a result of these disastrous fires, a scheme is now in force by which a
Municipal Subsidy is granted to encourage building with fireproof materials.
OTARU
This pleasantly situated town, 157 miles north of Hakodate, is the prin-
cipal of the open ports of Hokkaido being of easy access to the rich agricul-
tural lands in the Island, and having convenient railway facilities to all the
timber bearing areas.. The agricultural resources have been considerably
developed, and the rich pasture landsf are well adapted for breeding cattle and
horses. The exports are timber, mos lv hardwood, beans, peas, onions, potatoes
and general produce. Otaru is a regular port of call of the principal steam-
ship lines trading to the Far East. Extensive harbour improvements are now
in course of construction which will give wharfage accommodation for steamers
up to 7,000 tons. The population of Otaru, according to the last census in
October, 1930, was 144,880 It is the third largest city in the island of Hok-
kaido. There is a small foreign communitv engaged in the timber or ship-
ping trade. The climate is healthy and bracing, with heavy snow during
the winter which provides ample facilities for skating and toboganning. The
skating season lasts from December to March. The waterworks, which supply
pure water to the town, are situated in the surrounding hills within easy
access to the city. The city possesses an efficient fire brigade which keeps in
touch with any part of the town by means of automatic fire alarms. There
is the largest and most up-to-date can-making factory supplying all the
cans to the salmon and crab fishing areas in the northern waters.

and imposing
It is
now the Headquarters of the Fourth Division, the grounds having been converted
into a public park. Osaka is the seat of numerous industries, including cotton-
spinning mills, shipbuilding yards, iron-works and sugar refineries. Cotton-spinning
and weaving are the most important industries and there are a large num-
ber of big mills in the city and neighbourhood. Recently there has been a
surprising development in the manufacture of all kinds of goods for the
export trade in Osaka’s well-equipped factories. The Imperial Mint also is
established here. From the outset the street Electric Tramway within the city
limits was a municipal undertaking and at present 106 kilometres are open
to traffic.
The harbour is under the control of the Municipal Harbour Department.
Extensive improvements have been in progress for a number of years and
still further plans are to be given effect to. Among them, the reconstruction
work of the Port Osaka which was commenced in 1934 is designed for comple-
tion by 1940, when a huge outer break-water, length 3,995 meters, will be
constructed and water-area protected by it will amount to 5,950,000 square
meters.
By this year, on the other' hand, the North Harbour Company is due to
enclose an additional marine area of 2,317,000 square meters between the
Shinyodo River and the Azi River
In the near future, it is expected that the Harbour will have been
equipped with the most modern appliances and facilities. The present har-
bour has berthing accommodation at 37 buoys for ships of 5,000 to 20,000
gross tons. Four landing piers and eight quays, all with sheds and railway
facilities, have water depth of 30 feet or over. Floating and fixed wharf
cranes and dry docks are available.
The trade statistics of Osaka since the War have shown great growth.
The total foreign trade in 1937 consisted of 1,994,739 tons of merchandise
valued at Yen 853,104,864 in exports and 5,508,515 tons at Yen 835,182,960 in
imports.

KYOTO
Kyoto from A.D. 794 to 1868 was the capital of Japan. Its sacred and
classic associations as well as the picturesque character of the surrounding
country combine to invest the city with an interest attaching to no other place
in Japan. Kyoto has excellent hotel accommodation for foreign tourists. The
city lies practically in the centre of Japan in the main line of railway, and
is reached from Kobe in less than an hour and a quarter by express train.
The population in 1938 was estimated at 1,159,800 thus making it the fifth largest city
in Tapan
The first Biwa Canal completed in 1895 was designed for the passage oi
goods and passengers and to supply water power, the second canal constructed
at aforcostpurposes
and of Yen of4,477,805, supplies water
hydro-electricity, etc. for drinking, for the fire brigade
Businessmen and visitors to Kyoto will find the officials of the Kyoto Chamber
of Commerce ready with helpful suggestions both for making commercial con-
nections and also arranging sightseeing plans. Two fast electric lines connect
Kyoto and Osaka. The Government has electrified its line, the express train
making the run (28 miles) in 40 minutes. Excellent motor highways also leave
Kyoto for several nearby places of commercial and scenic importance.
Besides its importance as a sightseeing centre and as the distributing centre
for a large variety of artistic Japanese products, it is also important as an
educational centre, having four universities as well as many other schools.
Kyoto Imperial University has about 7,000 students.

KOBE
Kobe, finely situated on Osaka Bay and now the fifth largest, city in Japan,
was originally, until its opening to foreign trade in the year 1868, a small
fishing village near the once important town of Hyogo. 'The new port was
known at first under the latter name, but in 1892 the two towns were united
under the name of Kobe City and are now indistinguishable, while subsequent
additions have considerably extended the, municipal boundaries. Water sup-
ply, electric lighting and tramways are municipal services, and there are

carried
out, and there are now available for foreign-going steamers five large con-
crete piers, with quays on either side, owned by the government, together
with a number of smaller piers, some by private concerns, all of these being
connected with the main Tokyo-Shimonoseki line of railwav. Two more large
piers, one with a slip in the centre, are now nearing' completion, while
large new piers have been built for the domestic trade in Hyogo Bay. There
is also an extensive anchorage, protected by breakwaters. In Kobe are the
Kawasaki and Mitsubishi shipyards, both equipped with all modem facilities.
In addition to the above, Kobe possesses steelworks, locomotive and carriage
works, the Dunlop Rubber Company's works, a plate and sheet mill, the
Nippon Keori Company’s Head Offices, four mills of the KanegafucM cotton
spinning company, sugar and flour mills and also match, chemical and other
factories. The city faces the landlocked bay, and at a distance of a mile and
upwards from the sea front there rises a chain of steep and picturesque hills,
at the foot of which are the residential districts. To the north-east, on a
range, of hills known as Rpkko-zan, 2,500 to 3,000 ft. above sea-level is a sum-
mer resort, popular among Japanese and Europeans. The links of the Kobe
Golf Club, which owe their inception to the enterprise of a small number of

former British residents, are a great attraction jto the resort, itokkozan is
reached by a cable-oar, a ropeway and three motor roads and possesses num-
erous paths which afford good walks. Two modern hotels offer good accom-
modation. Kobe stretches for some ten miles along the strip of land between
the hills and the water and is rapidly extending, on both sides, particularly
in the. direction of Osaka, with which it is. connected by rail and by three
electric tramways, as well as by a broad, well-constructed motor-road. A
number of large modern buildings have added much to the appearance of the
city during recent years. Kobe has three main railway stations—Sannomiya,
Kobe and Ryogo. of which the first-named is the most important for foreign
residents—all three being on the main Tokyo-Shimonoseki through line. There
are several clubs- the Kobe Club (including members of all nationalities), the
Masonic Qlub, the India Club, the Club Concordia (German), and the Kobe
Regatta

of Shioya, twenty minutes by train westward along the coast from Kobe, it is
well equipped for all games. At Mirume the K.R.A.C. have tennis courts and
a large swimming-pool. There is an English Church (All Saints), a Union
Church. (Protestant), a French Roman Catholic Church, a Mosque and also a
number of Japanese Churches of various denominations. Kobe possesses two
good foreign style hotels, the Tor, on the hill, and the Oriental, on the
Bund, and an up-to-date International Hospital run by the foreign com-
m unity.
Over 30,(300 vessels totalling over 50 million'5 (totas enter the port every year,
and the foreigh trade amounts to Yen 2,200,000,000 annually. It has a population of
1,000,000 including 9,000 foreign residents.
The Temple of Nofukuji, which possesses a large Bronze Buddha in the
old town of Hyogo, and is worth a visit; and there is a monument to the
Japanese hero Kiyomori, erected in 1286, in a groVe of trees in the vicinity
of the temple, which claims some attention from its historic associations.
The bed of the old river Minatogawa was reclaimed in 1910. The upper part
of the reclaimed area is now known as Minatogawa Park, where there is a
large market. The lower part of the river-bed is centre for public enter-
tainments, such as cinematographs, etc. The shrine dedicated to Kusunoki
Masashige, the Imperialists, who fell on this spot in 1336 during the unsuc-
cessful. wars for the restoration of the Imperial power, stands between Kobe
Station and Okurayama Park, where theth is also a1 large City Library.
This shrine has recently acquired national pfomiftehcte as a leading shribe
among those of the state religion. In the park stands a bronze statute of
the late Prince Ito, who was one of tne most influential and powerful
statesmen of Japan in the Meiji period.

MOJI ATST» SHIMON OSEKI
These two towns are situated on either side of Shimonoseki Straits, th»
western entrance of the Inland Sea —Moji with a population of 1^2,798 one the
south and Shimonoseki with a population of 162,100 on the north. Shimonoseki
(recently amalgamated with Hikoshima Island—population 126,385), is under the
jurisdiction of Yamaguchi (population 130,000), 51 miles away, and Moji under
that of Fukuoka (population 302,068) 47 miles away. The foreign merchants
formerly all had their offices in Shiinonoseki, but owing to the very rapid growth
of Moji during the last 30 years, due mainly to its becoming an important coal and
industrial centre, most of the foreign and Japanese main and local branch offices
have removed to Moji. The city has now fine roads, and commercial buildings
with most up to date tram, bus and motor car services. The head office of the
Kyushu section of the Itiilway Bureau at Moji controls also part of the mainland
and the eight hour Fusan ferry service. An impo-,ing Government building,popses
the Customs Harbour, Marine Bureaux, etc., at Moji, and now wharves, capable of
mooring steamers drawing 30 feet, are made nearby. Moji has important trade
with the following neighbouring cities Kokura, population 135,000; Yawata
(Government Steel Works) 250,000 ; Tobata 77,556 ; Wakarnat.su, 77,307 and Moji
has absorbed the adjacent town of Dairi (on the west side), where there! are now
many factories and some foreigners’ offices. There is a fairly strong tidal current
through the Straits, but the anchorage, which is at Moji, is only affected by an
eddy, and good holding ground is general. However, most of the larger vessels
engage one of the numerous Buoys controlled by the Harbour Master. Steamers
entering from the West can get pilots at Rokuren Light, where boats have to
stop in any case for medical inspection and harbour-master’s instructionSi From
the eastward this inspection takes place at Hesaki Light. Means of transport are
good. Liners run regularly to all foreign ordinary ports of call ; and, while from
Shimonoseki the Sanyo Railway taps the north, from Moji the Kiushiu 'Railway
taps the south of Japan. The Shimonoseki Station Hotel provides good accom-
modation for foreigners. The Imperial Railway Department has also four large
ferry boats plying between Moji and the Shiinonoseki Station, while a ten minute
ferry plies between the usual landing places at Moji and Shimonoseki. ,A tunnel
is now being made under the straits and will take at least 4 years to complete.
Both towns have municipal waterworks, are lit by electricity, and are connected
by telephone with the principal towns, from Kagoshima and Nagasaki in the
south, to Tokyo in the north east. It should be specially noted that photographing
and sketching are forbidden within a radius of ten miles round Shimonoseki
and Moji on land and sea. The law in this respect is strictly enforced and ignorance
is not accepted as an excuse. . ,,

NAGASAKI
At the end of the sixteenth century, when the nations of Western Europe
were vigorously competing for the trade of the Far East, Nagasaki—then a
fishing village—was set aside by the Japanese authorities as a place of foreign
residence. It speedily became the chief trading port of the country. When
the Christian religion was banned in 1637 and only the Dutch were allowed
trade privileges, a small island in Nagasaki harbour called Deshima was
allotted the

foreign Christian priests, the city was the centre of the anti-Christian opera-
tions conducted by the Japanese government. By the treaty of 1858 Nagasaki
was one of the ports opened to British trade on the 1st of July in the follow-
ing year.
On entering the harbour of Nagasaki no stranger can fail to be struck with
the admirable situation of the town and the beautiful panorama of hilly
scenery opened to his view. The harbour is a land-locked inlet deeply in-
dented with small bays, about three miles long with a width varying from haif-
a-mile to a mile. A reclamation scheme was commenced in October, 1897, and

FORMOSA
This island, one of the largest in Asia, is situated between latitude and
26 degrees N., and longitude 120 and 122 degrees E., and is separated from
the coast of Fukien, China, by a channel about one hundred miles in width.
It is a prolongation of the Japanese and Loochoo Archipelagoes, and in 1886
was incorporated in the Japanese Empire. Its name Formosa, signifying
“beautiful island,” was conferred by the Portuguese, the first Europeans to
visit it, but it was called Taiwan (Great Bay) by the Chinese, to whom it
belonged from 1661 to 1694. It is said that the Japanese endeavoured to
form a colony in the island in 1620, but large numbers of Chinese were settled
there prior to that date. The Dutch arrived1 in 1634, and founded several
settlements, and traces of their occupation are still to be found in the island,
but they were compelled in 1661 to retire by the Chinese pirate chief Koxinga,
who then assumed the sovereignty of western Formosa. His grandson and
successor, however, was induced, twenty-two years later, to resign the crown
to the Emperor of China. By the Treaty of Shimonoseki, which terminated
the war between China and Japan in 1895, the island was ceded
to Japan as one of the conditions of peace, and on the 1st June, 1895,
the formal surrender was made, the ceremony taking place on board ship
outside iKeelung. The resident Chinese officials, however, declared a republic,
and offered resistance, and it was not until the end of October that the oppos-
ing forces were completely overcome, the last stand being made in the south
by Liu Yung-fu, the Black Flag General, of Tonkin notoriety. Takow was
bombarded and captured on 15th October, and Anping was peacefully occupied
on the 21st of the same month, Liu Yung-fu having taken refuge in flight.
Formosa is about 260 miles in length, and from 60 to 70 miles broad in
the widest part. It is intersected from north to south by a range of mountains,
which forms a kind of backbone, to the island, the loftiest peak of which,
Mount Morrison (Niitakayama), is 13,880 feet high. On the western side of
this range the slope is more gradual than on the eastern side, and broken
by fertile valleys which lose themselves in the large undulating plain on which
the Chinese are settled. The high land cast of the dividing chain is peopled
by an aboriginal race who acknowledge no allegiance to the Chinese Govern-
ment and made frequent raids upon the outlying Chinese settlements, but
as the island is being steadily opened up conditions are improving, and
doubtless in course of time they will become merged in the general popula-
tion, although naturally a savage and warlike people, allied to the Malays
and Polyneisians, who lived principally by the chase.

The trade and industries of the island are steadily developing, and both
fish and fruit are now being largely exported to the mother-country and
Dairen, whilst recently attention has been directed to the gathering of coral,
supplies of which have been found in the waters of the northern vicinity. AH
the principal towns are now equipped with water works, electric lighting,
and large markets, etc., and connection between them by motor lines of cars
is becoming general, replacing the push cars hitherto mainly in use.
One great drawback to the island is its lack of good harbours, which is,
more especially felt on account of the strength of the monsoons in the Formosa
Channel. Those on the eastern side are few and neither commodious nor
accessible;' whilst r on the west coast, with the exception of Keelung in the
north and Takow in the south, they are little better than open roadsteads.
Harbour improvements have just been completed at Keelung, and are still
being carried out at Takow-, when completed, they will greatly increase the
existing accommodation. The depth at low water at the entrance to the
harbours is 30 feet and 23£ feet, respectively.
Taipeh is the capital of Formosa, and Tainan is the chief city in the
south of the Island. The open ports are four in number, viz., Takow and
Anping in the south, and Tamsui and Keelung in the north. The latter was
held for some months in 1884-5 by the French, under Admiral Courbet, but was
evacuated on June 21st 1885. The rivers of Formosa are few, shallow,
and winding, only navigable to small flat-bottomed boats. The scenery is
delightful, and the climate is very pleasant in the wdnter, but hot in some
parts of the island.
A complete system of post and telegraph 'shivjc«s is. in force while two
cables connect the island ’with Japan proper.
Air service.,for passengers and mail:
Between Taipeh and Tokyo, daily.

Between Taipeh and Karenko, daily.
A railway traversing the w’est side of the island, from Keelung in the
north to Keisbu in the south was officially opened by H.I.H, Prince Kan
In on October 24th, 1008. A short line also connects Taipeh and Tamsui in
the north. On the west coast is a loop line of 56$ miles between Chikunan
and Oden (near Shoka) Hugging the coast, as it does, it avoids the steep
gradients and numerous tunnels of the main line. On the through-line, sleep-
ing-cars are now run for the accommodation of first and second class passengers.
There is also a railway along the East coast, and some other minor lines
partially completed. Besides the Government lines there are 1,349 miles of
private railways laid by sugar companies.

TAMSUI AND KEELUNG
The port of Taxnsui lies in lat. 25 deg. 10 min. N., and long. 101 deg.
26 min. E., on the north-western side of the fertile island of Formosa. The
harbour has a troublesome bar, which has retarded the growth of the port and has
necessitated the transfer to Keelung of the steamship agencies that formerly made it
their headquarters.

but were unable to take the place. The Japanese took possession on the 7th June, 1895.
The port of Keelung lies to the north-east of Tamsui, in latitude 25 deg.
6 min. N. and longitude 121 deg. 47 min. E. It is situated on the shores of
a bay between the capes of Foki and Peton, some 20 miles apart, amidst bold
and striking scenery, backed by a range of mountains. It was once a Spanish
Settlement, but was subsequently captured and held by the Dutch until they
in turn gave place to the Chinese under Koxinga, formerly a pirate chief,
who caused himself to be proclaimed King of Formosa. Though but a mere
village, it had long carried on a considerable native trade with Amoy, Chin-
chew, and Foochow. Keelung was opened to foreign trade at the same time
as the other Formosan ports. The limits of the port are defined to be within
a straight line drawn from Image Point to Bush Island. On the 5th August,
1884, the port was bombarded by the French under Admiral Lespes, when the
forts above the town were reduced to ruins, and the place captured. It was
then garrisoned by the French, who held it until after the Treaty of Peace
had been signed at Tientsin in June, 1885 The place was occupied by the
Japanese on the 3rd, June, 1895.
At Keelung harbour improvements were completed in 1934 at a cost of
over 33 million Yen, and have largely increased the accommodation available.
The present harbour is however too small for the increased number of
vessels which enter and clear, and an extension work, which was started in
1935 under a 9-year programme at a total cost of Y7,795,440, is now in pro-
gress. The main work under the new programme is the construction of a
breakwater in the outer harbour. At present about 30 vessels of under 20,000
tons and above 3,000 tons can be accommodated in the inner harbour.
During 1900 a lighthouse was completed on Pak-sa Point, a low headland
on the west coast, some 20 miles south-west of Tamsui, and one has been
erected on Agincourt Island. At Keelung there are stone quays in connection

It is
now possible to accommodate at the quays about 10 steamers each of 10,000 tons
capacity, and admit ten steamers below this tonnage at the buoys.
The railway line between Tarnsui and Taipeh was opened in August, 1901,
and has been of great benefit to the people of the district. Keelung is the
northern terminus of the trans-Formosan Government Railway. The capital
city is known by the Chinese name of Taipeh, and also under the Japanese
nomenclature of Taihoku, which is now applicable, also, to the whole province, the
former names of Manka, Daitotei, etc., being urban districts and not applicable to
the city as a whole.

TAINAN, TAKAO AND ANPINfi
The city of Tainan (until 1889 known as Taiwanfu or Taiwanfoo
i.e. The capital of Taiwan) situated in lat. 23 deg. 6 min. N., and long.
1.29 deg. 5 min. E., is the oldest city in Formosa. For nearly two cen
turies it was the capital under the Chinese regime-, prior to that
it had been held by both the Dutch and Koxinga, and relics of the
former’s occupation still exist. Next to Taipeh, it is the principal city, and
in it the District Garrison Headquarters, Law Courts, Hospital, Higher
inSchools, etc.,have

roads are all
wide and well constructed. The old Chinese walls, some five miles in circum-
ference, have been demolished to make room for improvements.
Waterworks have been constructed in the hills some distance from the
city and it is now lighted by electricity, the power being carried by an over-
head line from a generating station a few miles south of Takow. Tainan is
distant 218 miles from Taipeh by rail.
Anping is the shipping port for Tainan, situated about ohree miles west
of that city on the border of a lagoon. Communication ia by a trolley
line and a creek navigable for chutehs and small junks. There is also
a road on which is a regular service of motor buses. The port itself
is an open roadstead, vessels anchoring outside the bar and a mile or
so from the beach. From November to the end of May the anchorage is a
good one, but during the S. W. moonsoon a heavy swell sets in, rendering
it difficult and sometimes impossible for vessels to load or discharge. Form-
erly Anping was a small but thriving port, but since the improvements to
Tak&o harbour were effected, its importance has materially declined, and it
is now almost deserted, though its proximity to Tainan still necessitates a
certain amount of shipping calling. As regards climate, Anping, during the
summer months, can boast of a comparatively cool temperature owing to sea
breezes; Tainan is usually two or three degrees warmer. From October to the
end of April there is little or no rain,and the cool weather then leaves noth-
ing to be desired.

Takao is the only harbour in the south catering for the bulk of the sugar
trade and other industries, its future is assured. Large reclamations have
been made along the shore of the lagoon, transforming marsh-land into a well
laid-out, fair-sized town, with room for expansion.

CHOSEN (KOREA)
Chosen (“Morning Calm"), by peaceful annaxation in August 1910 became
an integral part of the Japanese Empire. It is a peninsula extending south-
ward from the north-east of Asia, washed on the east by the Sea of Japan,
on the west by the Yellow Sea. To the north lie Manchuria and the Russian
Maritime Province, the boundary being marked by the rivers Yalu and Tumen
and the Ever-White Mountains; while on the south it faces the west of Japan
across the Korea Strait, with the island of Tsushima about midway. It has
a coast-line of some 5,400 miles, including its innumerable islands, of which
Quelpart is the largest. It is situated between 124° 11' and 130° 56’ E long,
and between 33° 06' and 43° N lat., its total length being 600 miles from
north to south, and greatest breadth 13p miles from east to west, with an area
of about 85,156 squaie miles. The eastern half of the peninsula is a sinuous
range of mountains of which western Korea is the slope, and the chief rivers
are therefore on the western side, most of the important harbours being sit-
uated on that coast. Chosen is divided into thirteen provinces Wo):—North

of native horses exists and immense numbers of oxen are raised both as draught
animals and for food. Coats are few, and sheep-breeding was started in 1914
by the introduction of sheep from Mongolia. It is now being greatly encouraged
by the authorities, with the idea of making the Japanese Empire as far as
possible, self-supporting as to raw wool. A great deal of attention is now
being paid by the Government to the encouragement of breeding horses as well
as other livestock, and to the raising of swine and poultry. Much of the soil
is fertile, and agriculture has considerably advanced under the Japanese re-
gime, with improved methods of cultivation, in the selection of seeds and
manure, in irrigation and in reclamation. Sericulture, cotton and fruit-
growing are also being given great encouragement by the authorities, and
cotton growing in the South and wool in the North are looked upon as indus-
tries with a great future both for Korea and Japan. There are extensive

vanced nation, from which the Japanese learned many arts and crafts, and
indeed the rudiments of the ancient Chinese civilisation, but she seems never
to have enjoyed any political importance. Situated between China in the
west and Japan in the east, her rulers seem ever to have been involved in
intrigue and scheming to keep in with the stronger party. For centuries she
paid tribute to Peking, while preserving a nominal independence and pur-
suing a policy of exclusion to all foreigners other than Chinese. After the
Meiji Restoration in Japan, the Japanese were anxious to break down this
eccolu^ve barrier, and in 1876 succeeded in entering into a treaty of amity
and commerce. Although China assented to this and to subsequent treaties
with other foreign powers (with America, 1882; -with Britain, 1883; with Ger-
many and Russia, 1884, etc.), thus acknowledging Chosen’s complete indepen-

Kak (“ Bellthe

garded as the centre of the city, and from it a further road bore off to the
south aod south-west, leading to the Nandaimon. All these roads have been
widened and improved, the present Nandaimon-dori being a fine highway
nearly 120 feet wide. The principal thoroughfare of the city now is the great
TaiheLdori. running from the Nandaimon northward to the palatial build-
ings of the Government-General, situated in front of the old Imperial Palace.
This thoroughfare intersects Shoro somewhat to the west of the old centre,
and to the south of and parallel to Shoro another wide thoroughfare has been
driven from in front of the City Office on the Taihei-dori eastwards (Kogane-
machi). About midway between this Kogane-machi and the South Gate along
the Nandaimon-dori there is a fine square, where stand the Central Post Office,
the Dai Ichi Ginko, the great Mitsukoshi Department Store and other im-
portant buildings- This is the Japanese shopping centre, many of the
important Japanese retail firms having branches in and around Honmachi,
the very typically Japanese shopping street that branches off from this square.
On the opposite side, running hack to the Northwest past the Chosen Hotel
into Taihei-dori in front of the city Office, is another broad thoroughfare,
called Hasegawa-cho. In this central part of the city the roads, public
buildings and shops can bear favourable comparison with the great towns of
Japan proper. Many other roads have been made and widened in different parts of
the city, particularly in the vicinity of the new Imperial University, which
190 KETJO (SEOUL)
lies in the north-east and was opened in May, i926. The work of town-planning
the making of parks and so forth, is pursued regularly each year, though
somewhat hampered at present by lack of funds. Lastly, mention must be
made of the stecip hill of Nansan, which hav dominates the city to the south,
half-way up the slopeof which the Japanese e set the great Chosen Shrine,
at which Ama-terasu O-mikami, the divineancestress of the Japanese Imperial
family, and the Emperor Meiji, founder of modern Japan, are venerated as
national guardian deities. This shrine is approached by a magnificant flight
of stone stops, and from the terrace in front of it a splendid panorama of
the city outspread below is obtained.
The population of the city was 677,241 at the end of 1936. The number of
Europeans and Americans is under 400.

CHEMULPO (JINSEN)
Jl| Ll Jin-sen
This port is situated 24 miles west of Seoul and is reached by train in 50
minutes, the two cities being also connected by a good motor road. Among
Korean ports, Chemulpo is surpassed by Fusan alone in the volume of its
trade. The harbour is protected by two islands lying across the entrance, but
suffers the extreme inconvenience of a rise and fall of tide Teaching 30
feet. A dock was constructed in 1918 large enough to accommodate three
steamers of 4,600 tons each, and the construction has now been begun of an-
other dock on a much larger scale. There is no dry dock at Jinsen, only a

The annual trade of Jinsen in 1938 was valued at Yen 344,600,139.00 (Export:

This port, situated on the north-eastern coast of Chosen, is in the southern
corner of the province of South Kankyo, about halfway between Fusan and
Vladivostock. The native town has grown considerably since the port was
opened to trade, and contained a population of 61,772 at the end of 1936.
The town is built along the southern shore of the bay, and through it runs
the main road which leads from Reijo to the Tumen river. The harbour is a
good one, being spacious, easy of access, and well sheltered with excellent
holding ground and convenient depth of water.
Trade is carried on by regular lines of steamers running to Japan and coastwise.
The exports consist chiefly of gold, cement, beans and rice. Imports consist chiefly
offoodstuffs.

182,290.
There are few European firms in the port; business is carried on principally-

MOKPO
Mokpo, in Japanese “Moppo”, in the province of South Zenra, owes its
prosperity to the rich agricultural lands lying behind it. It has a good and
well-protected harbour with deep water permitting ships up to 15,000 tons
to anchor close inshore. Regular steamship lines ply to other Korean ports
and to Japan. Mokpo is the principal cotton-shipping port of Korea, but
even here the rice exports are of far greater importance. Both go exclusively
to Japan. The population in 1933 was 55,667.

the Chosen Railway Bureau. Good anthracite coal is found in the neigh-
bourhood. Heijo is an important missionary centre.
Chinnampo, the seaport of Heijo, is situated some 40 miles down the
river on the north side of the estuary, about 20 miles from its mouth, and
is also connected by railway. The harbour of Chinnampo affords safe accom-
modation for vessels and is moreover equipped with a dock capable of taking

Kunsan is situated near the mouth of the Kinko river on the west coast

in value, and as a rice-shipping port Kunsan is second in Korea only to
Fusan. In the town are a number of rice-cleaning mills The population in
1935 was 41,620.

Seishin is an important port and the commercial centre of north-eastern
Korea. It has a deep harbour, but its exposed character places it at a dis-

where harbour works have recently been constructed. Seishin is connected by
rail with Seoul (542 km.) via Gensan and northwards through Kainei with
the South Manchuria Railway system. It is a port of call for vessels on the
regular Tsuruga-Vladivostok service. The population in 1935 was 36,970.

in the following pages—decided in 1912 to adopt the Republican form of government.
Sun Yat Sen, the Republican leader who was appointed first President of the Republic
by the Provisional Government set up at Nanking, resigned the Presidency in favour
of Yuan Shih-kai on receiving from him satisfactory assurances regarding his political
views in support of the Republic. Yuan Shih-kai was unanimously elected, and Sun
Yat-sen retired from politics to devote his energies to economic projects, and especially
to the development of a scheme for covering the country with a network of railways
Yuan Shi-kai continued to serve as “Provisional President” until October 10th, 1913,
when, the two Houses of Parliament having in the meantime been set up, he was duly
inaugurated.

Notwithstanding as a measures

the Presidentthroughout
continued the country
to proclaim
his faith in the future of China under a Republican form of government. His
views were aptly summed up in his own phrase: “The nurse must not provide
the infant with food only fit for adults.” Thus it was that China became
for a period of two years an autocracy under the guise of a Republic. A State
■Council, consisting of 70 members, replaced the suppressed Parliament. It was
supposed to act as an advisory, administrative and legislative, organ until the
formation of the new Parliament under the Constitutional Compact, but its
chief function was to give a veneer of legality to the policy of the President.
All it did was to endorse his every action, even to the mad Monarchy Move-
ment.
The sudden death of Yuan Shih-kai and the collapse of the ill-starred
attempt to restore the monarchical form of Government revived Republicanism.
Li Yuan-hung, on the death of Yuan Shih-kai, quietly became President. He
was officially confirmed in the appointment by a re-assembly of the first Parlia-
ment. Tbe Cabinet was soon afterwards approved by Parliament, and a con-
stitution was drafted wffiich was disliked by the Premier and the military
chiefs by reason of the fact that it placed all authority in the hands of Par-
liament. This led to a rupture which resulted in Li Yuan-hung being com
pelled to dissolve Parliament at the instigation of the militarists. Then fol-
lowed, in 1916, Chang Hsun’s mad attempt to restore the Manchu Dynasty
He was over-thrown by Marshal Tuan Chi-jui after which Feng Kuo-chang,
the Vice-President assumed the Presidency as Li Yuan-hung declined to com-
plete his term. The second election of a President took place in October, 1918,
when Hsu Shih-chang was unanimously chosen. He retired in June, 1922, and
Li Yuan-hung was induced to return as acting President by promises of support
for his programme of reform from the Tuchuns. Twelve months later, however,
he fled from Peking owing to pressure exerted by the militarists. He was
succeeded by Marshal Tsao Kun, who was elected on October 5th, 1923, by a
Parliament, the membersi of which were openly bribed to vote for him. He
was driven out of the Presidential chair in November, 1923, on the collapse
of Wu Pei-fu’s forces, owing to the defection of Feng Yu-hsiang, who utilised
his troops to seize the capital instead of marching to Jehol to outflank the
forces of Chang Tso-lin. Tuan Chi-jui was then invited by most of the leading
military and civil leaders to become the Provisional Chief Executive and
accepted. For the next three years there was no Government worthy of the
name in China. Marshal Chang Tso-lin was virtual dictator in Peping, but
North and iSouth were at war and the whole country was in a state of chaos
owing to the rival claims of many military leaders. In June, 1928, Peiping
was captured by the Nationalists, and in October—on the anniversary of the
Revolution—Chiang Kai-shek was proclaimed President of the Republic. In
January, 1929, the Nationalist flag was hoisted at Mukden and other important
centres, signifying that the Northerners had at last decided to co-operate with
their former enemies in the South. Nanking is now the capital of China.
Area and Population
China proper, extending over 1,335,841 square miles, is divided into eighteen
.■ provinces. Considerable trouble and care has been taken by the Postal Administration
to obtain an estimate of the population of China. Recourse was had to the assistance
of the provincial officials, which in most cases was willingly accorded. Below is given
a close approximation to actual figures. The footnote will show the limitations that
'have so far been imposed to a full record of the outlying districts:

to the

were abrogated. Conditions in Outer Mongolia, however, have been by no
means stabilised by the ostensible return of Mongolia to China's fold. The
invasion of Baron Ungern von Sternberg with an anti-Bolshevik army in Feb-
ruary, 1921, caused the intervention of Soviet Russia, whose troops, having
dislodged Ungern's men, entered into possession of Urga, the capital of Mon-
golia, and the Territory stretching up to the Russian frontier. Inner Mon-
golia has been formed into three special administrative districts, viz., Jehol,
Chahar and Suiyuan. Manchuria or Manchukuo as she is now sometimes
called has in recent years been steadily and rapidly colonised by Japanese,
who greatly outnumber the Manchus in their own land. In 1932, she asserted
her independence, under Japanese protection, but so far she has not been re-
cognised by any other Nations with the exception of San Salvador. Tibet—
which is also practically a dependency of China and whose actual status is
still an outstanding question between Great Britain and China—has an area
of 643,734 square miles and a population of over 6,000,000. Down to 1910 it
was ruled by the late Dalai Lama, but subject to the Government of Pei-
ping, which maintains a Resident at Lhassa. In consequence, however, of the
Dalai Lama’s refusal to comply with the demands of Peiping, a Chinese
military expedition was dispatched to Lhassa, and he fled to India, where he
remained for over a year. Meanwhile, the great revolution broke out in China.

The above table, however, and those immediately following, when read in
conjunction with the fuller statistics, will serve to give a general idea of the
trend and value of China’s import trade during the year under review as
compared with the years 1937 and 1938. As in 1938, the cereals and flour group
took the foremost position, imports of wheat and wheat flour, largely from
Australia and the United States of America, increasing in value by $35.6 mil-
CHINA A7
lion ami ¥23.8 million respectively. Cereals, not otherwise recorded, mainly
from the Kwantung Leased Territory, also increased in value by $24.9 million,
with the import of flour, not otherwise recorded, and starch (non-edible) show-
ing an increased value of $11 million. Second in importance on the list was
cotton and manufactures thereof, which increased in value from $42.9 million
to $200 million nearly, there being an increase in the value of raw cotton im-
ports of $160 million from Brazil, British India, the United States of America
and Egypt. The value of imported candles, soap, oils, etc., increased by $17.9
million, gasolene imports being higher by $4.2 million, a decline in American
imports being compensated by larger importations from Netherlands India.
Imports of liquid fuel and of kerosene oil remained unchanged at approxim-
ately $10 million and $30 million. Vegetable oils and fats, not otherwise re-
corded, principally from Japan and the Kwantung Leased Territory, increased
in value by $7.4 million; toilet and fancy soap by $1 million;1 and candles and
soap, not otherwise recorded, by $1.4 million, mainly from Japan. The chemi-
cal and pharmaceutical group showed an increased value of $18.8 million. The
import of acid's and chemicals and chemical compounds, not otherwise recorded,
from Japan increased. Imports of sulphate of ammonia were higher in value
by $3 million, a decline in imports from Great Britain being made up by
increased importations from Belgium and Poland. Metals and orbs showed an
increased value of $7;9 million, quantum figures ovei* this extensive group being
on the whole maintained. Under machinery and tools, there was a slight in-
crease in value of $4.7 million, there being an increase under machinery and
parts, not otherwise recorded, of $7.7 million, with a decline in the value of
textile machinery and parts of $4.4 million. The value of the grouping books,
maps, paper and wood pulp increased by $15.5 million. Common printing-
paper was higher in value by $4.7 million; paperware and all articles made of
paper, not otherwise recorded, by $2.7 million; books and music, printed,
engraved, or manuscript (including newspapers and periodicals), by $2.5 mil-
lion; printing paper, not otherwise recorded, by $1.3 million; simile paper by
$1.1 million; and kraft paper by $0.9 million. Other varieties showed little
change from 1938. Imports of sugar, principally from Japan and Formosa,
increased in value by $32.8 million. Under vehicles and vessels, the increase in
value was nearly $12 million, the principal increases being in motor tractors,
trailers and trucks of $5.8 million, largely from the United States of America,
with an increase in motor cars and buses of $3.2 million and in motor-car parts
and accessories (not including tires and tubes), also largely from America, of
$2 million. Dyes, pigments, paints and varnishes showed an increase in value
of $13.7 million, aniline dyes and other coal tar dyes, not otherwise recorded,
increasing by $4.9 million and sulphur black by $4.2 million, the increase being-
in both cases due primarily to larger imports from Japan. Imports of tobacco
were $14 million higher in value, the increases being $10 million under leaf
tobacco, $1.5 million under tobacco, not otherwise recorded, and $1.7 million
under cigarettes. Timber showed an increase in value of $12 million, while
miscellaneous metal manufactures showed little change. Under fruits, ■ seeds
.and vegetables, there was an increased import of beans and peas, principally
from the Kwantung Leased Territory, valued at $6 million. Imports of foreign
coal were higher in value by $4.5 million. Under wool and manufactures
thereof, the increase in the value of carded or combed wool and waste wool was
$7.8 million. Artificial silk floss and yarn increased in value by $6 million,
there were increases in arrivals of fishery and sea products from Japan, while
Japanese imports of tea also increased.
Exports
The net value of exports increased from $763 million to $1,027 million, or
by approximately 35 per cent. Comparative statistics for the net value of the
export trade during the past three years are given below, arranged according
to the groupings in the “Monthly Returns of the Foreign Trade of China” and

Shipping and Freight in 1939
The world total of mercantile tonnage under construction at the close of
1929 was 3,110,900 tons, at the close of 1930 was 2,326,100 tons, and following the
depression fell to 757,300 tons for the year 1933. Construction thereafter picked
up, being 1,543,200 tons in 1935, 2,251,200 tons in 1936, 2,900,200 tons in 1937,
2,668,900 tons in 1938, and by June of 1939 had increased to 2,859,300 tons.
Mercantile shipping launched for the period 1926-29 averaged 2,363,000 tons,
totalled 2,889,500 tons in 1930, fell to its lowest ebb of 489,000 tons in 1933,
recovered to 2,117,900 tons in 1936, 2,690,600 tons in 1937, and had risen to
3,033,600 tons for the year 1938. Actual tonnage afloat at the end of June 1939
was 69,439,700 tons, surpassing the figure of 68,074,300 tons for the year ending
June 1929. These figures show that, despite increased naval construction, the
carrying capacity of the world’s mercantile marine had caught up with pre-
depression levels before the outbreak of the European War.

As regards shipping generally in China, the effects of the -closure of the
Yangtze and Pearl Rivers and the blockade of the coast, it will lie seen that total
ehtries and clearances at Chinese ports amounted to 51.9 million tons only as

erman shipping, 2.1 million tons; Netherlands shipping, 1.8 million tons;
and Italian, Danish, and French shipping with approximately 1.1 million tons
each. Of the reduced total of 51.9 million tons of shipping entered and cleared,
29.8 million tons entered from and cleared to foreign ports as compared with
29.4 million tons in 1938, while 22.1 million tons as compared with 29.7 million
tons entered and cleared coastwise. These figures do not include the tonnage
of vessels plying under Inland Waters Steam Navigation Regulations. In
regard to shipping with abroad, the leading ports in China were: Shanghai,
with 50.33 per cent of the total tonnage as compared with 34.58 per cent in
1938; Tsingtao, with 10.46 per cent as compared with 6.13 per cent; Tientsin,

Freight rates on the China coast were converted into Hongkong currency
on the 22nd June and at times reduced owing to poor trading conditions. In
terms of Hongkong dollars or sterling the rates were about the same or slightly
lower than in 1938.
Transpacific; Freights
Rates were effective throughout 1938 on the more important commodities as
per Tariff No. 8 of 6th October 1937, taken from the Shanghai Transpacific
Freight Tariff. As from the beginning of 1939, all rates of freight remained
stationary until the 19th September when, as a result of the greatly increased
operating charges caused by the outbreak of war in Europe, an all-round in-
crease T was made to the extent of approximately 20 per cent except in the case
of raw silk, the rates on which remained as previously until the 1st December,
on which date they were increased by 50 per cent. A further general increase
of 15 per cent, with the exception of silk, was expected to become effective early
in 1940.
Freights via Suez
Rates of freight undbf Conference control were increased at the end of the
year 1939 by about 50 per cent, with “open” commodities registering even higher
increases.
Railways
The extension of the Lung-Hai Railway from Sian to Paoki, a distance of
130 kilometres, was completed in 1936, with a further extension to Lanchow, 450
kilometres north-west of Sian, being under contemplation. An extension south-
west from Paoki to Chengtu, a distance of 550 kilometres, was one of the pro-
jects coming within the new construction plans. Also included in these plans
\Vas the construction of the 523 kilometres line from Chungking to Chengtu,
connecting the two leading cities of Szechwan, with eventual extension to
Tachienlu in Sikang. Other contemplated construction work included the Hu-
nan-Kweichow Railway, connecting Chuchow, important city on the Hankow-
Canton line, with Kweiyang, the capital of Kweichow province; the Szechwan-
Kweichow Railway of 350 kilometres, connecting Chungking and Kweiyang,
under joint Chinese and French construction; the 550 kilometres Yunnan-Kwei-
cbow Railway, connecting Kweiyang with Kunming, the capital of Yunnan;
the 770 kilometres Szechwan-Yunnan Railway, connecting Suifu, on the Yangtze
River in Central Szechwan, with Kunming; the extension of the Hunan-
Kwangsi line, already completed from Hengyang to Kweilin, to Nanning in
Kwangsi; the extension of the Kweichow-Kwangsi Railway, running from
Kweiyang to Nanning, to Liuchow; the construction of the line from Nanning
m Kwangsi to Chennankwan and thence to Langson in French Indo-China,
under joint Chinese and French auspice's, a distance of 150 kilometres; and the
Yunnan-Burma Railway of 700 kilometres in length.
In the South-east, plans called for the construction of the 263 kilometres
Nanchang-Pingsiang Railway; the 450 kilometres Nanking-Kiangsi Railway,
connecting at Kweiki with the Chekiang-Kiangsi line; and the Canton-Meihsien
Railway of 500 kilometres, connecting the Southern port of Canton with East-
ern Kwangtung’s leading town.

Commercial Aviation
On the outbreak of hostilities the air services operating from Peiping and
Shanghai were the first to be suspended, while those operating in the South-
west, North-west, Central and South China continued to offer increased trans-
portation facilities. On the occupation of the Wu-Han cities, services on all
these lines were temporarily suspended, but not long thereafter were resumed
one after another. In addition to the air lines orginally operating in “Free
China,” the following new lines commenced operations in 1938:-
(1) The Chungking-Hongkong line, with an intermediate stop at Kwei-
lin, covering a distance of 1,157 kilometres, was inaugurated at
the close of 1937, with the frequency of departures being changed
to twice or three times weekly in 1938.
(2) The Chungking-Kunming line of 755 kilometres resumed operations
after a period of suspension on the 1st August 1938.
(3) The Chungking-Kiating line, with two intermediate stops at Luchow
and Suifu,
on 16th Maycovers
1938. a distance of 351 kilometres and was opened
(4) The Chungking-Kweilin line of 760 kilometres was started in
December 1938.
(5) The Chengtu-Hanoi line, covering a distance of 1,460 kilometres,
inaugurated a through service in November 1938.
(6) The Kunming-Kweilin line, covering a distance of 760 kilometres,
was opened in December 1938.
In March 1939 an airplane of the Imperial Airways successfully made a
test flight from Rangoon in Burma to Kunming, and at the same time the
China National Aviation Corporation planes made three successful flights from
Chungking to Rangoon.
On the 5th December 1939 the Chungking-Moscow line was formally inau-
gurated. The entire length, to be covered in four days, in divided into three
sections, namely, Chungking-Hami, Hami-Alamutu, and Alamutu-Moscow.

China, addressed
further note to the Japanese Government on the 31st December 1938. In this
further note the United States Government declared that “in the light of facts
and experience the Government is impelled to reaffirm its previously expressed
opinion that the imposition of restrictions upon the movements and activities
of American nationals who are engaged in philanthropic, educational and
commercial endeavours in China has placed, and will, if continued, increasingly
place, Japanese interests in a preferred position, and is therefore unquestion-
ably discriminatory in its effects against legitimate American interests.’' Re-
ferring to exchange control, compulsory currency circulation, tariff revision,
and monopolistic practices in certain areas of China, the note went on to say,
the Government of the United States “expresses its conviction that the restric-
tions and measures under reference are not only unjust and unwarranted but
are counter

blishment, at the instance of and for the special purposes of any third country,
of a regime which would arbitrarily deprive them of the long-established rights
of equal opportunity and fair treatment which are legally and justly theirs
along with those of other nations.” Fundamental principles, such as that of
equality of opportunity, it was pointed out, were not subject to nullification by
unilateral affirmation, nor could the United States Government admit that
“there is any need or warrant for any one Power to take upon itself to pre-
scribe what shall be the terms and conditions of a ‘new order’ in areas not
under its sovereignty and to constitute itself the repository of authority and
the agent of destiny in regard thereto.” The note concluded as follows: “The
people and the Government of the United States cannot assent to the abrogation
of any of this country’s rights or obligations by the arbitrary action of agents
or authorities of any, other country. The Government of the United States has,
howver, always been prepared, and is now, to give due and ample consideration

are believed to cover vast areas of Hopeh, Northern Honan and Western Shan-
tung, while nearly 2 million people are threatened with famine, and the damage
is estimated at close upon $100 million, if not more. The subsidence of flood
waters in the Concessions brought no relaxation of the blockade, and at the
time of writing negotiations in Tokyo have not been reopened.

against taking any advantage of developments which originated elsewhere andnote warned Japan
were prejudicing the international character of the Shanghai Settlement, urged
Japan to return Settlement areas north of Soochow Creek to the authority of
the Shanghai Municipal Council, stressed the point that conditions in Shanghai
were so far from normal as to preclude any basis for a discussion looking
towards an orderly settlement of the complicated problems involved which
would be reasonably fair to all, and, as regards revision of the Land Regula-
tions, expressed the belief that this should await the development of more stable
conditions. The British reply supported the arguments contained in the Am-
erican memorandum. Japanese replies to British and French protests regard-
ing the boarding of the British liner lianpura and the French liner Aramix
outside Hongkong were conciliatory in tone.
With the blockade of the China Coast, the closure of the Yangtze and West
Rivers to navigation, and the Japanese in control of practically all China’s
ports, the volume of trade is still a matter of some surprise. While admittedly
the Japanese were in control of the coast and the main lines of communication,
it is equally true that this control was limited with no great effect on the vast
interior regions. In North China, especially, particular attention has been paid
to Western industrial properties. The Kailan Mining Administration had to
increase its coal output for shipment to Japan; the Kwantung army seized the
Tatung Coal and the Lungyan Iron Ore Mines for its improvised state of
Mfeng-chiang ” and entrusted their exploitation tc the South Manchuria
Railway Company and the Fushun Collieries. The Tayeh Iron Mine in Cen-
tral China wras given directly to the Japan Iron Manufacturing Company. In
Shanghai Japanese industrial pre-war property was energetically reconstructed.
Reconstruction of the Tsingtao mills was also completed. Repairs have been
carried out to the various Chinese coal mines in Shantung, but production is
still far below pre-war level. In Tsingtao only some 40 per cent of the textile
mills are yet in operation. Determined efforts to place the Tayeh Iron Mines
on the Yangtze into working order after their being completely blown up by
the Chinese have not yet met with success, while in Shanghai, despite recent
prosperity in the cotton industry, the number of spindles working is still far
below the pre-war total of 4,000,000. Notwithstanding the limited success
achieved on their own behalf, the many restrictions in the form of exchange

the time of the company’s establishment. On the 2nd May the British Ambas-
sador in Tokyo drew the attention of the Foreign Office to the establishment of
the Central China Railway Company to take over these railways, etc., and
pointed out that, as a large amount of British capital was invested in them,
the British Government could not acquiesce in their acquisition by Japanese
interests.
With China’s door becoming more tightly closed towards the east, it became
Imperative that measures be adopted for the development of the western and
south-western provinces and for the improvement of communications giving
egress and ingress westwards. Towards this end rapid progress was made in

TIENTSIN
^ Tien-tain
Tientsin—or the Ford of Heaven, according to the Chinese meaning of its
name—may now well be called the commercial capital of North China. Situated
at the junction of the Grand Canal and the Pei Ho in Lat. 39 deg. 4 min.
N., long. 117 deg. 4 min. E. (approx.), it is some 80 miles distant from Peking
by road and somewhat further by river. Railway connection with the capital
was established in 1897. A road between the two places, 94 miles long, was
completed towards theof end

that year.
The expeditions of the Allies in 1858-61 greatly enhanced the importance of
the city, as it then proved to be the military key of the capita] and an excel-
lent base. It was here on June 26th, 1858, that Lord Elgin signed the treaty
which was to conclude the war, but which unhappily led to its prolongation.
The famous temple in which the treaty was signed, about a mile distant from
the West gate, was destroyed by British shells in July, 1900.
Tientsin owes its early importance to its location at the northern terminus
of the Grand Canal, and its later development is mainly due to the opening
up of North China to foreign trade, to improved railway communications with
the Interior, and to the deepening of the Bar and the Hai Ho by the Hai Ho
Conservancy Board. Before the advent of steamers, however, Tientsin had
become a flourishing centre for junk traffic, and when the tribute rice no longer
followed the Grand Canal route—owing to the shoaling of this ancient and
celebrated waterway—it

flood, and, finally, the Grand Canal burst its banks a few miles west of Tien-
tsin, carrying away the main line of the Tientsin-Pukow Railway, which re-
sulted in the Concessions being flooded before much warning of the impending
danger could be given. The Municipal authorities of the various Concessions

were approximately as follows:—Chinese (ex-German) 0.47; British, 1.40;
French and British, 0.87; French, 0.32; Japanese, 2.27; total, 5.33 miles.
Powerful pumps were then erected, and the whole undertaking for the British
and French Concessions was successfully and expeditiously completed in a
fortnight. It took longer to clear the Japanese Concession, however, where
the water was from 7 to 10 feet deep in places. It is estimated that over 15.000

square miles of the most populous part of the Chihli province between Pao-
tingfu and Tientsin were flooded, and it has been calculated that crops to the
value of $100,000,000 were utterly lost, and that 80,000 groups of dwellings,
ranging from hamlets to large villages, were destroyed.

Trade in 1939
Whatever the future may hold for Tientsin, the second largest port of China,
the past year must inevitably stand out as one of the most eventful on record.
Due to the Sino-Japanese conflict, many restrictions on merchants and the
public generally were imposed, rescinded, and finally reimposed, but probably
the most important event was the enforcement in March of the exchange control
cn all exports. The collapse of the national dollar also seriously affected the
import trade, as the prices at which European and American goods could be
placed on the local market became quite prohibitive to the average consumer.
To add further to the general confusion, the port was submerged by a disastrous
flood towards the end of August, and the water did not disappear from the
streets for over six weeks. All commercial and industrial activities of the port
were suspended, and for a time no cargo could be discharged at the wharves,
many vessels with cargo for Tientsin being diverted to other ports. On top of
all this came the news of the outbreak of the European War. Importers hesi-
tated to accept orders 'for fear of inability to make deliveries in time, while
exports were perforce reduced to a minimum. Not only have the majority of

accentuated by such factors as the collapse of the exchange value of the Chinese
national dollar, the imposition of trade and exchange control, and the outbreak
of war in Europe. Not only bona /itfe consumers tried to buy all they could
lay hands on, but also dealers and investors.
As in the previous year, Japan virtually monopolised the cotton piece goods
trade by importing $6.5 million or 94 per cent of the total turnover, with Bri-
tain, the next important supplier, lagging behind with only $81,260. "Whereas
no raw cotton was imported during the past three years, 48,308 quintals valued

New Zealand was thekilogrammes in the

kilogrammes to her credit. The increase was due partly to the shortage in the
supply of native wool from the interior, but the main reason existed in the
sudden activity of the local wool mills, which require foreign wool for weaving
purposes. Japan continued to dominate in the trade of woollen yarn, serges,
Venetians, and piece goods, not otherwise recorded, but in overcoatings and
worsted suitings Poland and Britain respectively succeeded in taking the lead.
Polish overcoatings and tweeds imported during the year amounted to 56,516
kilogrammes, showing an increase of 6,600 kilogrammes over 1938.
Owing to the control over exports enforced in Japan, shipments of artificial
silk yarn from that country declined precipitately from 1,444,963 kilogrammes
in 1938 to only 427,686 kilogrammes in 1939. Taking advantage of the situation,
Italian manufacturers were not slow in making advances. Her imports during
the year totalled 534,680 kilogrammes, whereas in 1938 her share of the trade
was only 18,881 kilogrammes. In artificial silk piece goods, pure and mixed,
Japan retained her leading position.
Total imports of metals and ores showed a gain over the previous year.
Import figures in the machinery and tools group remained on approximately
the same level as the previous year. With the assumption of control over all
North China railways by Japanese authorities, replacements and additions of
locomotives, carriages, and railway materials were supplied nearly entirely by
the South Manchuria Railway Workshop in Dairen. Motor trucks and cars

to 7,005 and 25,340 pieces respectively.
All the principal items in the fishery and sea products group showed a
substantial increase in import figures, with Japan continuing in the lead.
Special mention should be made of tea, total imports of which reached the
high figure of 4,164,082 kilogrammes, showing an increase of nearly 500 per cent
over the record of 1938. Of the total, Japan supplied no less than 3,493,822

Among the principal items in the chemical group, sulphate of ammonia in-
creased from 158,569 quintals in the previous year to 187,645 quintals. To this
total Germany contributed 92,039 quintals and Britain 74,814 quintals. Imports
from Japan, however, dropped from 49,048 quintals in 1938 to 11,113 quintals.
Chemical or artificial fertilisers, not otherwise recorded, showed still greater
figures. In 1938 total imports amounted to 49,945 quintals and in 1939 to no
less than 187,637 quintals. Shipments from Japan accounted for 143,197 quin-
tals, with the Kwantung Leased Territory following with 41,440 quintals. Im-
ports of soda ash totalled 45,996 quintals as against 81,509 quintals in 1938.
Shipments from Britain, the main supplier, dropped from 50,200 quintals in
the previous year to 39,079 quintals. Caustic soda registered 33,806 quintals,
roughly approximating the amount of 1938. To this total Britain contributed
18,124 quintals and Japan 10,799 quintals. The dyeing industry was responsible
for most of the increase, but soap works have also had quite a busy year. With
the exception of tanning materials, of which Argentina was the biggest supplier,
Japanese products dominated the trade in all the other dyes, followed by Ger-
many. The actual consumption of dyestuffs in North China during the year
was much below normal.

were also Netherlands India, the United States of America, and Japan, contri-
buting 12,070,845, 4,361,208, and 2,904,262 litres respectively. The total consump-
tion of motor gasolene increased by about 50 per cent over 1938. The floods in
Hopeh had a very adverse effect on gasolene consumption. In liquid fuel the
trade was also shared by Netherlands India, the United States of America, and
Japan, with a preponderance in favour of the first. In lubricating oil Japanese
products led with 1,435,502 litres, followed closely by the United States of
America and the Kwantung Leased Territory with 1,278,915 and 1,098,411 litres
respectively.
The importations of timber showed an increase of 50 per cent, the total value
being $12 million as compared with $8 million in 1938. Owing to the shortage
of food supply, 846,153 quintals of rice and paddy was imported in 1938, whereas

114,492 quintals from the United States of America. Finding it difficult to
procure native wheat, local mills had to import foreign wheat to meet their
requirements. Of wheat flour, 2,489,715 quintals was imported during the year
as against the 1938 record of 2,076,580 quintals. Australia, the biggest supplier,
contributed 1,598,649 quintals, followed by America and Japan with 677;044 and
152,285 quintals respectively. A very big increase was registered also in flour,
not otherwise recorded, which jumped from 53,042 quintals in the previous year
to 196,826 quintals, of which 138,185 quintals was shipped from Dairen.
Struggling hard under the stress of artificial restrictions and _ natural
adversities, the export trade of the port managed to achieve some quite satis-
factory results. Commencing from the 11th March, export abroad and to Cen-
tral and South China of certain commodities had to be covered by a Certificate
of Selling Exchange or by a Permit to Export. These rules were later extended
in July to include all articles of export with only a few exceptions.
Continuing the boom witnessed in 1938, the bristle trade remained very
brisk during the year under review. Total shipments of this article stood at
11,495 quintals valued at $15,765,325 as against 16,699 quintals valued at $14,-
608,855 in the previous year, which was the highest in the previous five years.
As in former years the United States of America remained the biggest purcha-
ser, taking 7,553 quintals, followed by Germany taking 1,841 quintals and Great
Am TIENTSIN
Britain taking 1,281 quintals. It will be seen that in spite of all obstructions,
the egg trade fared quite well during the year. The total value of eggs and
egg products exported during 1939 was $19 million as against $11.4 million in
the previous year. Great Britain and Germany were the best purchasers, while
the United States of America, since the previous year, withdrew gradually from

United States of America with 4,848 quintals. 6,231 quintals of moist and
frozen yolk was exported to Great Britain and 3,530 quintals to Germany. Of
dried melange, Germany took 809 quintals and Belgium 181 quintals. In the
trade in moist and frozen melange, Great Britain again featured as the sole
purchaser. Of fresh eggs in shell, 2,310 mille was shipped to Hongkong and
1,152 mille to Great Britain. The increase in the volume of pig intestines from
3,'536 to 5,164 quintals was due to the growing demand from Germany and
France. The American market evinced less interest in this article, as the
Chinese product is inferior in quality to American hog casings.
Although beset by numerous difficulties, the local fur and skin export trade
->aw a fairly prosperous year. Shipments to the United States of America, the
principal buyer of skins, recovered gradually from the depression prevailing in
the previous year. Her purchases were the heaviest in fox skins (11,399 pieces),
undressed goat skins (206,884 pieces), kid skins (699,792 pieces), kolinsky skins
(19,364 pieces), lamb skins (281,854. pieces), marmot skins (43,013 pieces), weasel
skins (159,811 pieces), and skin mats and rugs, not otherwise recorded (158,546
pieces). Japan continued to be the biggest purchaser of dog skins (66,888 pieces),
dressed goat skins (25,770 pieces), hare and rabbit skins (351,169 pieces), and
imitation moufflon skins (38,217 pieces). France showed much interest in goat-
skin mats and rugs, of which she took 7,588 pieces.
The export of walnut kernels showed signs of renewed activity during the
year .under review, blit the downward trend in walnuts in shell became all the
.more accentuated.
A spectacular increase was registered in medicinal substances, not otherwise
recorded, which rose from $974,383 in 1938 to $3,038,326. Canada was the prin-
cipal consumer of groundnuts in shell, taking 1,498 quintals of the total of 3,004
quintals, and Hongkong, as in the preceding year, took nearly 90 per cent of
the 12,549 quintals of shelled groundnuts. Germany, as before, consumed a
major part of apricot seed (12,488 quintals out of 22,609), while the small
quantity of cotton seed exported was destined for the Kwantung Leased Terri-
tory. Australia and America purchased 21,669 and 12,649 quintals of linseed
respectively. Of sesamum seed, Japan purchased 17,175 quintals, or 90 per cent
of the total.
Exports of coal during the year aggregated 68,758 metric tons, showing a
decrease of some 32,000 metric tons as compared with 1938. Contrary to expec-
tations, shipments to Japan fell from 84,384 metric tons in the previous year to
58,437 metric tons.
The cotton export trade during the year was a total failure. Of the year's
exports, totalling only 24,240 .as against 1,165,290 quintals, 12,322 quintals were
shipped to the Kwantung Leased Territory and 10,807 quintals to Japan. The
boom in 1938. it is to be noted, however, was of an incidental nature. The
production of cotton in North China declined by 30 per cent to 40 per cent
according to estimates made. The 1938-39 season’s production was placed at
3,300,000 piculs, while the estimated demand amounted to no less than 4,900,000
piculs.
Of camels’ wool. Great Britain took 161,668 kilogrammes and Germany
130,163 kilogrammes out of a total of 351,776 kilogrammes, while Great Britain’s
purchases of goats’ wool, amounting to 162,670 kilogrammes, was also the hea-
viest, with Japan

adequate. Local prices of wool jumped over 100 per cent towards the second
half of the year. The serious drop registered in sheep’s wool should occasion
no surprise, seeing that the export of this article was banned in October 1938.
Of the small quantity shipped, namely 302,902 kilogrammes, Germany took
181,696 kilogrammes and the United States of America 120,903 kilogrammes.
Exports of woollen carpets fell off slightly from 10,849 to 10,465 quintals.
Total exports of salt to Japan amounted to 1,793,200 quintals, whereas the
figures for 1937 and 1938 were 1,994,001 and 3,431,300 quintals respectively.
Exports of straw braid showed substantial increases. Coal deposits in the five
provinces in North China are estimated to be 54.48 per cent of the total deposits
in China. The total output of the Kailan mines during the year is reported
to be 6,459,000 tons, of which 5,265,000 tons have been marketed. Reacting to

ties that confronted mines in the hinterland, no competition from other mines
was experienced.
During the year under review Chinese and foreign flag vessels trading with
Tientsin under General Regulations ran to a grand total of 5;389,120 tons. Of
this total, 3,083,370 tons represented direct traders and 2,305,750 tons coastwise
bottoms. While falling slightly under the 1938 record of 5,570,559 tons, the
figure compares favourably with the 4,389,803 tons of 1937. As in the previous
year, the Japanese, British, German, Norwegian, and Chinese flags occupy the
first five places in the order given. With the exception of the Japanese flag,
which advanced from 2,292,607 tons in 1938 to 2,465,572 tons (2,148,162 tons
representing direct vessels and 317,410 tons coastwise sailings), the total tonnage
registered under the other four flags all dropped considerably. Movement of
cargo on the Haiho has been subject to constant delays during the year. Firstly,
the institution of inspection of shipping passing up and down the river by the
Japanese military authorities tended to hold up shipping; then the congestion
at the wharves in Tientsin added to the difficulties experienced. A large part
of the river frontage was reserved for military use, and points of discharge
formerly available were no longer open for the public. The flodct of August had
a very adverse effect on shipping activities in general. For a period of over' a
fortnight no cargo could be discharged at the local wharves.

Newchwang, in latitude.40 deg. 37 min. 37 sec. N., longitude 122 deg. 10
min. 23 sec. E., or 38 miles from the Newchwang Lightship was opened to
foreign trade in May, 1864, and was for more than 40 years the only Treaty
port in Manchuria, now known as Manchoukuo, which comprises the four Pro
vinces formerly known as Fengtien, Kirin, Heilungkiang and Jehol Man-
churia was commonly called by the Chinese the “Tung San Sheng,” or the Three
Eastern Provinces. Manchoukuo is now divided into the 14 provinces of
Heiho, Lungkiang, Sankiang, Pinkiang, Chientao, Kirin, Fengtien, Antung,
Chinchow. Jehol, and North, South, East and West Hsingan. Newchwang
is situated in the south of Fengtien province and lies about 13 miles
from the mouth of the Liao River, which empties into the Gulf
of Liaotung, a continuation of the Gulf of Pohai. The proper name
of the port is Yingkou, and not Newchwang, which is actually
situated 90 li (30 miles) further up the river. The old town of Newchwang
was designed by Treaty to be opened to trade, but the first foreigners, finding
Yingkow more conveniently situated and more adapted in very respect for the
purposes of trade, quietly installed themselves there and got over the difficulty
by the simple process of changing the name of Yingkow into that of New-
chwang.
The country in the immediate vicinity of the port is flat and unpictures-
que in the extreme, and the town itself has nothing in the way of attractions
for the traveller. The climate, from the foreigner’s point of view, is one of
the best in China, the summers being comparatively cool, while the winters
are cold and bracing. The hottest summer temperature rarely exceeds 90'
(Fahrj, but cold blasts from the North pull down the "mercury” in winter
months often to 6° and 10° below zero (Fahr.). The river is generally frozen
over for three months of the year, but navigation is practically suspended
for four months, from December to the following March. Formerly New-
chwang was shut off from the rest of the world during winter, but the advent
of railways has changed all this. The Manchukuo State Railways through
their branch line from Koupangtzu, maintain daily communication
with Tientsin, Peiping and Mukden; and the South Manchurian Railway,
through its branch line from Tashihchiao, maintains daily communication with
Dairen, Port Arthur, Mukden, Tiehling, Hsinking and Harbin where a connection can
be made with the Trans-Siberian Railway to Europe
The principal trade of Newchwang Is the export of beans and bean-
cakes, but this is at present far from flourishing. The town contains many
factories—textiles, matches, paper, etc.
The foreign (non-Japanese) population is now very small.
