THE CHINESE BOYCOTT
STEPS TAKEN TO MAKE THAT
AGAINST AMERICAN GOODS
MORE EFFECTIVE.

Shanghai. Aug. 30.-Chang Chen,
who has been ordered by the Picking
ministry of commerce to concert
measures to settle the boycott against
American goods, met Tuesday the
Chinese chamber of commerce and
principal piece goods dealers Of this
city and began by filming certain deal
ers 1000 taels altogether, for alleged
breaches of the boycott. He then or.
dered all to sign an agreement to buy
no more American goods from foreign
merchants of any nationality.
Regarding goods contracted for be-
fore the boycott was started, he stated
his intention Of opening an Office and
granting papers and stamping such
goods, thus permitting their sale In
the interior.
He also announced his intention Of
opening offices in thirty-six principal
trade centers in China, where goods
so stamped will be passed. This will
require an initial sum Of 100000 taels,
which Shanghai dealers must pay,
thus averting impending financial ruin.
This means the creation of permanent
%boycotting machinery available against
any branch of any foreign trade in
China, and the practical imposition Of
new taxation against all treaty tariffs.
