NOTE TO CHINA
METHOD OF COLLECTING TAXES
BKITISH PEOPOSALS SUBMITTED.
{United Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 21st December, 2 p.m.) LONDON, 20th December.
The British Note to China is ..not associated with Sir Miles Lampson, the British Minister's, conversations; indeed tho proposals have been before the Chinese Government for a considerable time in order to test the feeling, and havo only now been presented as a Note. The idea is that surtaxes shall in future be collected at the ports through which goods pass, instead of being collected at Pekin, thus enabling the money to be available for use in the provinces where it is collected, instead of Only by the Central Government as hitherto. Copies of the Note were presented to all the Chinese parties represented at Pekin, and there is hope that it will be favourably received.
Britain declares' that she has no desire to interfere in Chinese civil war, or to favour any party.
