In 1902 Great Britain, Japan and the United States agreed to an. increase from 5 to 12% per cent, but the other powers refused, despite the fact that these three countries have 92 per cent of the trade with China. It is not expected that any powers will block the revisions which the proposed commission is authorized to put into effect.

The decisions of the committee were not reached without pointed expres- sions of dissent from the Chinese delegates. Mr. Koo, directing his re- marks to Mr. Underwood, who has Presented the tariff recommendation: suggested tha China’; tariff was framed for the benefit of outside na- tions rather than for China, but ex- pressed his thanks that some relief was offered Mr. Underwood's View. The essence of Mr. Underwood's re- ply was that under the present condi- tions in China, too much revenue would work an injury to the country. Mr. Sze, who repeated several times that the Japanese troops in Hankow and along the South Manchurian rail- road are there without any authoriza- tion of treaty, sipgled out Mr. Hani- hara as his partfcular audience. Mr. Hanihara contented himself with a reply that the troops were there by treaty, offering to present a written statement if any other members of the committee wished.
