Abstract

Editorial Paragraphs

The article present recent developments in the U.S. politics. With the resembling of the U.S. Senate and the publication of the rates of the tariff bill as made over by the Republican majority of the Senate Committee on Finance, the fight enters a new phase. Tariff making took a delightful turn recently when the Senate Committee on Finance put manganese ores on the free list. The Fordney-McCumber Act carried a duty of a cent a pound on the manganese content of such ores, provided they contained at least 30 per cent manganese. Refusing to surrender their extraterritorial rights in China, the U.S. Administration has returned to the sweeping demands of the ill-fated Extraterritoriality Commission of 1926, which asked China to revise her judicial practice before the Powers gave up their privileged position.
