It is to be presumed that the Canton authorities, have full knowledge of the propaganda work which is being curried on aldo by alde with the military operations, and it would be an easy matter to keep this within limits. After all, troops do not usually go in for placard-posting, and it is a natural presumption that this work is being carried out on ex- press instructions. As to the point that the boycott movement is es- sentially a labourers' movement, that myth has long been exploded, It is the work of professional ögit agitators, and, as has again and again been stated, it has been maintained by force on a people, who would welcome the resump-

One thought worthy of being put forward is that if the boycott movement should be extended to Central China, the Canton authori ties will find it extremely difficult to escape blame for such a deve- lopment.
