全国海关关务会议于六月十九日开始,出席的有海关总署和全国各地海关负责干部七十一人,及与海关业务有关的中央各院、部、会代表十三人,历时二十八天(实际开会二十一天),已于七月十六日圆满闭幕。会议首先学习了政务院关于关税政策和海关工作的决定,然后进行海关法规专门委员会所草拟的海关法草案的报告和讨论。对草案作了许多重大的修改和补充,在基本问题上获得思想上的一致,此外并讨论了设关原则和各关组织编制等问题。兹将会议的主要问题及其解决方针办法报告如下,当否讲指示:一、全国海关的现状和特点从一八五三年到一九四九年,将近百年,我国海关始终掌握在帝国主义者手里。他们先凭藉不平等条约的特权强迫制定进出口低税率,大量倾销外贷,廉价吸取原料,以绞杀我国民族工业,并进一步直接掌握了我国海关行政管理权,关税收支权,使一切制度规章作风完全洋化,并包揽了许多与海关不相干的事情,如海务港务的管理,国境海岸的巡卫等,扩大侵害我国权益,便利帝国主义的侵略。旧中中海关就是这样不独立不自主长期被英美帝国主义所统沿着的。旧海关这种不独立不自主的惨痛历史是与我们民族被历迫被奴役的历史分不开的。中国人民革命的伟大胜利,结束了帝国主义在中国的统治。受帝国主义控制的旧海关已随着半封建半殖民地旧中国的统治一起灭亡。正如刘少奇副主席在本年庆祝「五、一」劳动节干部大会上关于海关政策的指一不:「帝国主义已经从中国赶走,帝国主义在中国的许多特权已经被取消。新中国的海关政策与对外贸易政策已经成为保护新中国工业发展 The Customs and Excise Department Customs Conference held on June 19 attended the opening ceremony of the General Administration of Customs and 71 customs officers in charge of customs administration throughout the country as well as 13 representatives of the central committees, Eighteen days (the actual day for the meeting being 21 days) was successfully closed on July 16. The meeting first studied the decision of the State Council on tariff policies and customs work, and then conducted reports and discussions on the draft customs law drafted by the special committee of customs laws and regulations. Made many major changes and supplements to the draft, got the ideological consensus on the basic issues, and discussed the principles of the establishment of customs and the preparation of relevant organizations. Here are the main issues for the meeting and the solutions to them as follows: First, the status and characteristics of the customs throughout the country from 1853 to 1949, nearly a hundred years. Our customs are always in the hands of the imperialists Hands. They first resorted to the preferential treatment of unequal treaties to impose low rates of import and export, dumping a large amount of foreign loans, chewing raw materials cheaply, strangling China’s national industry, and further directly grasping the administrative power of customs in China and the right to collect and issue customs duties so that all the rules and regulations The style was completely foreignized and swept many issues unrelated to the Customs, such as the management of the harbor affairs and the patrolling of the frontier and coasts of the border areas, expanding the violation of the rights and interests of our country and facilitating the imperialist aggression. The reason why the old Central China Customs was so independent and indefinitely ruled by the Anglo-American imperialists for a long time was the same. The painful history of the old customs, which is not independent, is inseparable from the history of our nation being subjected to slavery. The great victory of the Chinese people’s revolution ended the rule of imperialism in China. The old customs controlled by imperialism have perished together with the old Chinese rule of semi-feudal and semi-colonial territory. Just as Vice-President Liu Shao-chih said during this year’s “May 1” Labor Day General Assembly on customs policies: “Since imperialism has been rid of China, many of the privileges of imperialism in China have been lifted.” Customs in New China Policy and foreign trade policies have become the protection of new China’s industrial development
