CHINESE BOYCOTT
BRITISH RESIDENTS TO LEAVE WUCHOW
FOOD SUPPLIES CUT OFF
Peking. July 21.
Foreign telegrams from Canton state that all British residents have been.instructed to leave Witchow (150 miles up-river from Canton), including the Customs officials, owing to the strict bovcott.
Food supplies have been cut off from an American gunboat, as well as from British residents. Numbers of strikers are still returning to work at Shanghai, despite violent intimidation. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce has decided to confiscate all British and Japanese goods in the possession of Chinese, and is fining merchants who do not participate in the boycott of the British and Japanese. The boycott campaign will commence on July 30, and will be carried on for a year. A friendly gesture 'by the British Chamber was discussed, but was described as insincere, and was left over. —Reuter
