Locker-Lampsqn (Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs), in a written reply to a parliamentary question, states that in a note dated December 5 the Minister lor Foreign Affairs 'for China notified the British Minister that a new Chinese Customs tariff had’been promulgated and would come into force on February 1. With the exception of certain articles which are subject to special rates, the rates of duty appear J to be identical with those of the interim schedule accepted by the foreign delegations in 1926. _ The commercial secretary at Shanghai has been instructed to make a detailed examination of the tariff and report any discrepancies. No reply, so far as he was aware, had been returned to tho Note of the Foreign Minister. Mr Locker-Lampson states that Sir Miles Larapson’s visit to Nanking does not indicate recognition of the National Government of China by the British Government, but de jure recognition would be a necessary consequence of the signature of any treaty which might be concluded as a result of the negotiations which Sir Miles Lampson is now conducting.
