BRITISH BUSINESS
 MEN IN CHINA ACT
Adopt Tactics to Prevent Trading
 With Enemy-Neutrals Hurt

(Correspondence- of the Associated Press.r
 Peking, Nov. 3O.-British business men in China, in what they term an effort to prevent trading with the army, have adopted tactics which are not designed to create good feeling between neutrals and British subjects. At Shanghai and other business cen- ters secret list of firms with which Britishers must not trade has been circulated. In many cases these lists have done great injustice to neutrals. Americans have suffered especially and are making frequent complaints to the American legation in Picking and to various consular officers.
 Frequently, these boycott lists have been made, apparently, without prop CT Investigations. In some cases, the names of neutrals which happened to suggest German or Austrian origin have been included in the lists very unjustly. For a time the neutrals were not able to understand why their business was dwindling so decidrdly, but < ow the British methods are very generally understood
 Stock Market In F'uror.
 At present the Shanghai Stock Ex- change is in furOr through an ef- fort of the British members to con- trol the action of neutral members of the Exchange. A few days ago the following notice was posted on the bulletin board of the Exchange:
 "The Shanghai Stock Exchange is an institution incorporated under British ordinances and under British law and members are hereby notified that the committee / ill take all means in their power to uphold His Brit an- nic Majesty's regulations regarding enemy trading.
 "Certain neutral members are be- 1 lieved to have entered into transac- tions with clients and outside brokers who are subjects of countries ene- mics to Great Britain. Whilst the committee is at present una able to dis | cipline neutral members who deal | with enemy subjects, it is pointed out 1 that any British member who know | ingly deals with such offending mem- bers comes within the scope of the Kings regulations.
 For the protection of Br;/sh mem- bers the committee are willing to con- fdentially make known from time to time the names of these neutral mem- | bers who are suspected of dealing with unlicensed enemy subjects. 1 The committee hereby notified British members that in the event of their being found to be knowingly contravening the Kings regulations in the above manner they will forthwith
