dian er China‘s Rulers f Follow Policy of Moderation Appointment of New Customs Inspectorâ€"General Seen as Reassuring Sign London.â€"The decision of the Nanâ€" king Government to confirm the apâ€" pointment of A. S. F. Edwardes as offieiating Inspectorâ€"General of Chiâ€" nese Customs is regarded in business cireles here as one of the most reâ€" assuring sign yet received that the new rulers of China intend to follow a polciy of moderation, commercial and financial, in dealing with other naâ€" tions. t On being interviewed, a leading authority indicated that there has been much anxiety lest the customs organâ€" Irations built up so much~ under the care of Sir Robert Hart should be alâ€" lowed to pass into inexperienced hands, thus imperilling the preâ€"Boxer and reorganizatiof loans floated on the security of customs revenue. Mr. Edwardes‘s appointment is furâ€" ther regarded as an indication that the recent decision of the â€"Nationalists to ignore the terms o. the réorganizaâ€" tion loan agrement and pay thesalt duties into banks chosen by themseives instezd of banks with which an ugtqe-1 ment has been made represents an atâ€" tempt to escape their financial obligaâ€" ticns. The names of the new reposiâ€" tories are not yet known, but are now awaited with greater confidence.
