关税特别会议的议事范围及其突破

Agenda and Breakthrough of 1925-1926 Special TariffConference

华盛顿九国条约规定的关税特别会议的议事范围不包括恢复中国关税自主权问题在内。会后,北洋政府为关税会议作准备而发起召开的关税研究会对"税权"问题的讨论,虽已含有突破华会条约所定议事范围的趋势,但北洋政府本身却无法实现这一突破,它需要一种外在的力量加以促成。正在国人为关税会议的前途担忧之际,五卅运动爆发。其作用体现在两方面,一是废除不平等条约运动的兴起,一是各界对扩充关税会议议事范围的要求,正是这两种因素的共同作用使关税会议的议事范围突破了华会条约的限制。

The issue of Chinese tariff autonomy recovery is on the agenda of the Special TariffConference stipulated in the Washington Nine Powers Treaty. Though thediscussion of 'tariff autonomy' at the Tariff Study Conference, initiated by theBeiyang Government to prepare for the Tariff Conference after the WashingtonConference, embodies the potentiality of breaking through the Washington Treaty'slimitation, the Beiyang Government itself, without an external force, cannot make itcome true. The May 30th Movement, breaking out when the people are worriedabout the prospect of the Tariff Conference , gives rise to the movement of abolishingunequal treaty and the request of expanding the Tariff Conference agenda fromdifferent parties, which cause the breakthrough of the limitation of the Washington Treaty.
