(Extract from Kwok Man San Man, Canton, 15th September, 1927)
Notice by the Anti-British Boycott Commission enforcing
examination of British goods.
Importation of British goods stopped from today.
(From the Chung Kwok She News Agency)
In order to carry out the Anti-British Boycott
which is to commence today (15th September) and to
stop all sale and importation of British goods, the
Commission for the Extension of the Anti-British Boycott
yesterday (the 14th September) issued an urgent notice
which reads as follows:
In the matter of a notice:
In October last year we altered our policy from
that of the blockade of Hong Kong to one of an extended Anti-British Boycott, with the object of dealing a fatal blow at the British Imperialists. Our Commission was
then established and in the year succeeding our work has
been noticeably successful. Later the Farty Purification
Movement necessitated a re-organisation in the Committee and various boards of the Commission, and in consequence
our work was to some extent impeded, and a quantity of
British goods was smuggled in by the merchants. This
has led the British Imperialists to entertain the mistaken
idea that our patriotism cannot endure for longer than
5 minutes. Being of the opinion that we will submit to
oppression, their fury has again blazed forth: their brutal conduct is again in evidence. Lately they committed an outrage at Do Shing and caused a massacre at Tai Ping. If such can be tolerated, there is nothing we will not endure. Nobody with any sense of shame can refrain from being so indignant that his hairs will bristle and his
heart be grieved.
