SQUEEZE" POPULAR IN CHINA
What the Western World Calls "oraft"
10 Praetieed by All ciasces In
That Country.

One trait firmly imbedded in the
Chinese character which the foreign
business man and the housewife both
have 10 contend with Ia the weakness
for squeeze" II II said by foreigners
that the Chinese merchant. coolie.
politician. fisherman, chauffeur and
beggar would rather mike 81 by
squeeze" than $40 by the same
amount Of brain work or manual la.
Dor.
Squeeze Is Chinese for graft. II IL
word In that international Far East.
crn tongue known rs pidgin- English.
But squeeze IL something more than
grnft. Its political phase might be
termed graft, and that form Of squeeze
Is what makes the military governors
OF the provinces and the politicians OF
PekIng and Canton so fat. Most Chi
nese politicians would have been ac-
ceptable In the eyes OF julius Caesnr.
Ind squeeze Is the reason for some Of
the corpulence IN China,
Squeeze Is the Chinese translation
OF "as much as the traffic will bear"
II is factor In Chinese business, as
much as supply and demand. or profit
and loss.
