The boycott Of American goods in
China threatens to assume serious
proportions. The State Department
at Washington is looking into every
feature of the situation, but it has
been unable to accomplish anything.
The effect of the boycott has not yet
been felt by Southern men who have c
Chinese trade because contracts are
made six months ahead. 1t is feared
however, that fthe boycott continues
the contracts will not be renewed
when they expire.
