CHINA PUZZLE
HARD TO SOLVE
BY DELEGATES
(Continued From Page One.)
whether she rejects that principle. Her
representatives here are comporting them
selves as ambassadors
n unduWtably sovereign, stable, function
lag Chinese government. They base their
claims to unqualified recognition of the
fact that the Pekin regime is the only
one acknowledged by the powers as
sembled around the conference horseshoe.
But the assurances of Messrs. Sze, Koo
and Wong on that score are not con
vincing to everybody. Vital and far
reaching arrangements, of hoped-for per
manency are under way In Washington.
Will it be possible—ask European and
American statesmen—to effect such ar
rangements with a nebulous China?
Where is young Mr. Wu, son of Tu Ting
Fang, of the Canton government, whom
Pekin asked to Join the Chinese delega
ting as representatives of South China, is
being asked. He has not come. He

dinning into the ears of all the delegates
that the Canton government will under no
circumstances feel itself bound by any
decisions taken here. There are rumors
that the Sze-Koo-Wong triumvirate has
made peace overtures to South China by
offering it the chairmanship of the Wash
ington delegation. That report cannot be
verified. But the mere fact that it hae
ganied currency seems to indicate that
an uncertain and wholly incalculable sys
tem is crystalizing.
SEEK TARIFF
IX DEPENDENCE.
China's “new charter" proposed last
week by Dr. Sze, and substantiated
broadly by the Root resolutions adopted
this week calls first of all for “tariff
autonomy” for the Chinese people. China
demands the right to enact a Sze or a
Koo tariff law, just as the United States
passes an Nnderwood or Fordney tariff
law. She demands the privilege of col
lecting anything beyond the existing
5 per cent restricted rates that she
pleases. But here again the powers that
have vast trading in this China “want
to be shown.” They want to know in
particular about the institution called
the Ll-Kin, or local taxation system. It
has not been made plain, conference
statesmen say that although China may
Impose only 5 per cent on foreign im
ports for revenue purposes, the Li-Kin
organization requires in fact the pay
ment of enormously higher and additional
taxes before foreign goods landed at a
treaty port can reach destination in the
interior of China. The Li-Kin system
is described as a widespread net work of
petty “graft.” Everybody with power
to extort it—the gatekeeper of a city
wall, the controller of a canal lock the
guardian of a highway crossing—sets up
Li-Kin collecting bureaus. They cannot
be passed without tribute, which is as
sessed arbitrarily and usually sticks in
the palms of collector and his satellites.
Hsu-Sbih-Chang, president of China him
self has referred to the “universally
execrated Li-Kin imposition.” Has the
Chinese government the power to abolish
that system of extortion'! It it has, de
clare those who propound the query, the
time then will come when'tbe powers that
trade with China can say whether or not
they are ready to cooperate in reforming
the Chinese tariff and placing it un
restrictedly under Chinese control.
GUARANTEES

From whatever angle one approaches
measures of relief for China, one sooner
or later bumps np agt'nst the question
of the guarantees China can give regard
ing her internal stability. Capital can
only come from abroad In any useful
degree. Under the financial consortium,
it can only bof obtained under interna
tional control. If it comes it will demand
tangible and Inviolable pledges of secur

the all-important score.' Everything de

"No matter what I should say about
Tanlac. It wouldn’t be half good enough,”
said Mrs. Mary Wilhelm, 716 Mint Way,
South Side, Pittsburg, Pa.
“I never dreamed it possible for a medi
cine to restore me to the splendid health
I now enjoy. In fact, I bad almost re
signed myself to being an invalid, as
I could see I was losing weight and
strength every day, and no relief was
in sight. For three years stomach trouble
headaches and nervousness made my life
miserable.
“The first bottle of Tanlac acted almost
like magic and It wasn't long until I
was so well and strong that I could
hardly realize I had ever known a sick
day. I am like a different person in
every was- now, eating, sleeping, feeling
and looking better than in years.”
