I have looked quite sufficiently into the question of the Chinese Maritime Customs to have gained a very firm opinion that goods entering the port of Dairen for ship- ment up-country pay the five per cent. Chinese Customs duty no matter where they come from. There may be people who evad& that duty, but it is not evaded as a rule, by Japanese or anyone else. I know enough about Manchuria by this, time, too, to understand that no live foreign firm pays likin, or local interior tax, to the Chinese... 122 THE FAR EAST UNVEILED authorities, for the good and sufficient reason that the Japanese will not pay it, and no sensible man will do so if they do not. I know that you have a reputation per- sonally for supplying facilities when an English mer- chant wants to ship goods, and supplying such facilities, apparently, without discrimination as to nationality. All along those lines I cannot point to a fact that would go to prove that the Open Door of equal opportunity in Man- churia has been closed by Japan.
