JAPAN IN MANCHURIA.
CUSTOMS REVENUE SEIZED.
PEKING, June 21
China is faced with a major financial calamity owing to Japanese interference with the Chinese customs administration of Manchuria, says Mr. T. V. Soong, the Nanking Finance Minister, who is visiting Peking to confer with tho League of Nations Commission.
Mr. Soong alleges that under Japanese instigation the Manchukuo authorities have appropriated tho customs revenues collected at Harbin, Newchwang, and Antung. Tho Japanese, says Mr. Soong, are also preventing the despatch of remittances to Nanking from Dairen, which is in leased territory, entirely under Japanese control. ... The total amount lost comprises 15 per cent, of the entire customs revenue, and the Chineso Government will lose £6,000,000 annually if the Japanese action is allowed to go unchallenged by the interested Powers, Mx. Soong points out.
