SURGEON GETS $25 J0B TO W0O TYPIST British Doctor, Unable to Practice in Rhode Island, Refuses to Return Home. By tae Associated Press. PAWTUCKET, R. I, January 27.— Dr. Stephen W. Gregory Goold, British surg eon, is working in this city for $25 8 wiek because he intends to woo and win Miss Grace Conway, Valley Falls sters ;grapher. % Goold, a fellow of the Royal Col- leg* of Surgeons, is a graduate of a Lmadon University and served for five years as an interne in the famous Guy's Hospital in London. He served &8s a surgeon with the Royal Nav ing the World War. Miss Conway sald that she has known Dr. Goold since his arrival here, but denied that she was engaged to him. Dr. Goold’s employment here is snused by the suspension of his allow- sace by his mother, Mrs. Jean C. fioold, London and Aberdeen soclety leader. A large fortune left to Goold by his father is in the care of his mother. He is unable to practice medicine because of the State law which requires a certain term of resi- dence. Goold's v while he it to this city was made was on a world tour after navy. He secured work here as a dental mechanic in a ven- turesome spirit and became acquainted with Miss Conway. .

On the 1st of July, 1 1 sent in- structions to our Minister in Peking, which instructions I also communi- cated to all the other governments urging that this should be de the occasion of evidencing to the Chinese our willingness to consider the ques tion of treaty revision. I urged that the powers expedite preparations for the holding of the special conference regarding the Chinese customs tariff and stated that the United States be- lleved that this special tariff confer- ence should be requested, after ac complishing the work required by the treaty to make concrete recommenda- tions upon which a program for granting complete tariff autonomy might be worked out. The delegates of the United States were given full powers to negotiate a new treaty recognizing China's tariff autonomy. At the same time, I urged the appointment of the commission to investigate extraterriteriality, with the understanding that ‘the commis- sion should be authorized to include in its report recommendations for the gradual relinquishment of extraterri- torial rights. Prior to this, the Chi- nese government urged the United States to use its influence with the interested powers to hasten the call- ing of the conference on tariff matters and the appointment of the extrater- ritorial commission and for each gov- ernment to grant to its representa- tives the broad power to consider the whole subject of the revision of the treaties and to make recommenda- tions upon the subject of the ab tion of extraterritorial rights. This was in harmony with the views of the United States. Complied With Request. Accordingly, on September 4, 1925 the United States and each of the other powers having tariff treaties with China evidenced their intention to appoint their delegates to the tariff conference. By a note which has been published, the powers informed China of their willingness to consider and discuss any reasonable proposal that might be made by the Chinese gov- ernment on the revision of the trea- ties on the subject of the tariff and also announced thelr intention of ap- pointing their representatives to the extraterritorfal commission for the purpose of considering the whole sub- ject of extraterritor rights and au- thorizing them to make recommenda tions for the purpose of enabling the governments concerned to consider what, if any, steps might be taken with a view fo the relinquishment of extraterritorial rights. Delegates were promptly appointed and the Chi- nese tariff conference met on Octo- ber 26, 19 Shortly 2 ference Americ conferen ing of a surt per cent on necessaries, and s the requi site schedules could be prepared, au thorize the levying of a surtax of up to 5 per cent on luxuries, as provided for by the Washington treaty.

On November 19, 192 committee on provisio conference, Chin ticipating, unanimously following resolution he delesates of the powers assem- bleg this confer esolve to adopt the following prope relating to tariff autonomy with a view to in corporating it, together with other 0 be hereafter agreed upon, in a treaty which is to be sizned at this conferen, The con China h to enjoy provi: the ined put adopted ne ed cting powers other than by recognize Chin: tariff autonom: contained in existing treat themselves, respectively, id consent to the going into effe the Chinese national tariff law ary 1, 1929, he government of the Republic of na declares that lkin shall be abolished simultaneously with the en- forcement of the Chinese national tariff law, and further declares that the abolition of likin 11 be effec- tively carried out by the first the flrst month of the eighteenth year of the Republic of China (January 1, on Tried to Execute Plan. Continuously from the beginning of the conference, our delegates and tech- nical advisers collaborated with the delegates and technical advisers of the other powers, Including China, in an effort to carry out this pian, viz., to put into effect the surtaxes provided for in the Washington treaty, and to provide for additional tariff adequate for all of China’s needs until tariff au- tonomy should go into effect. Until about the middle of April, 1526, there was every prospect for the ccessful termination of the confer- @ to the satisfaction of the Chinese nd the other powers. About that time the government which represent- ed China at the conference was forced out of order. The delegates of the United States and the other powers, however, remained in China in the hope of continuing the negotiations, and on July 8, 1926, made a declaration as follows: The delegates of the forelgn pow- ers to the Chinese customs tariff con- ference met at the Netherlands lega- tion this morning. They expressed the unanimous and earnest desire to proceed with the work of the confer- ence at the earliest possible moment when the delegates of the Chinese government are in a position to re- sume discussion with the foreign delegates of the problems before the conference.” Ready to Act Alone. The Government of the United States was ready then and Is ready now to continue the negotiations on the entire subject of the tariff and extraterritoriality or to take up nego- tiations on behalf of the United States alone. The only question is with whom it shall negotiate. As I have said heretofore, if China can agree upon the appointment of delegates representing the authorities or the people of the country, we are pre- pared to negotiate such a treaty. However, existing treaties which were ratified by the Senate of the United States cannot be abrogated by the President, but must be superseded by new treaties negotiated with some- body representing China and subse- quently ratified by the Senate of the United States. The Government of the United States has watched with sympathetic interest the nationalistic awakening of China and welcomes every advance made by the Chinese people toward reorganizing their system of govern- ment, During the difficult years since the establishment of the new regime in 1912 the Government of the United States has endeavored in every way to maintain an attitude of the most careful and strict neutrality as among the several factions that have dis- puted with one another for control in China. The Government of the United States expects, however, that the people of China and their leaders ill recognize the right of American citizens in China to protection for life and property during the period of conflict for ‘which they are not re- sponsible In the event that the Chinese au- thorities are unable to afford such protection, it is of course the funda- mental duty of the United States to protect the lives and property of its itizens. Tt is with the possible neces- sity for this in view that American forces are now in Chinese This Government wishes to | China in a most It holds no conc and has never manifested any listic attitude toward that It desires, however, that its s be given equal opportunity the citizens of the other powers to reside in China and to pursue their legitimate upations without spe- cial privileges, monopolies or spheres of special interest or influence, liberal fons in S B Heads Dairy Organization.
