BOYCOTTING JAPAN
Resolutions of Sydney Chinese. (Received 9.55 a.m.) SYDNEY, this day. The Chinese merchants in Sydney have drafted a series of resolutions for submission to a general meeting of their countrymen. They assert that the action of the Japanese in regard to the Tatsu Maru incident was a violation of treaty rights, and demand from the Japanese an apology for having heaped an indignity upon the Chinese nation, which must be resented. A further resolution declares that the association withdraws all support from the Japanese line of mail steamers in every way, and that all goods imported and exported by Chinese firms shall be carried by other lines of steamships trading to the Far East.
It is further urged that Chinese merchants shall refuse to transact business of any description with Japanese merchants in Sydney, decline to handle all kinds of Japanese goods, and that all Chinese merchants and traders in Sydney and other parts of New South Wales shall be to enter into a bond providing a penalty of £50 for every breach of this agreement.
