Shanghai, To-day. Driven "underground" by the Nanking Government's orders suppressing and prohi... biting anti-Japanese activi- ties in China, the remnants of the disbanded "Loyalist" and "Dare-to-Die", organisa- tiis have resorted to terror- ism to compel merchants to. continue the boycott.
Seven bombs have been set in various parts of. Shanghai during the past fortnight, one of which ex- ploded and injured a worker in a coal shop.
Other bombs: have been sent to business establish- ments. together with in- timidating letters, threaten- ing death and destruction of property unless the anti- Japanese boycott were strict- ly maintained.
The situation has created panic in Chinese business circles and merchants are in mortal terror of these secret societies.
