In expressing their ap position to the screening of this picture, the Committee call upon the people to rise and show their loyal spirit by supporting them in their patriotic movement.
The film in question is an insult to the Chinese people and to China as a nation, says the annourice. ment, and its exhibition is greatly detrimental to China's, dignity and Frostige.

While accepting. the blame for failing to take precautions before. hand to prevent the, plcture from being screened in Shanghai, the Committee excuse themselves on the ground that it was impossible for them to exercise their influence and enforce their decisions in thei International Settlement on account of the peculiar circumstances which prevail.
