Tokyo, Feb. 2.
Great Britain had made no representations to Japan concerning the recent revision of the tariff schedule of the Chinese Maritime Customs in North China by the "Provisional Government declared a spokesman of the Japanese Foreign Office when interviewed by Reuter to-day.
The spokesman pointed out that the revision was purely the affair of Chinese authorities in North China, to whom any representations should addressed.
Contrary to the spokesman's statement, it is learned that Sir Robert Craigie, the British Ambassador, recently made representations to the Japanese Foreign Office on the matter, pointing out that the revision was contrary to treaties establishing a unified Customs tariff throughout China.—Reuter.
