CHANGE IN THE BOYCOTT.

A NON-CO-OPERATION POLICY.

INTERFERENCE WITH TRAFFIC

TO BE LESSENED.

[FROM OUR CHINESE CORDESPONDENT. ]

It is understood that the Kuomintang leaders in Canton, after careful considera. tion, have decided to bring about a change in the procedure of the boycots. Merchants will be asked to assist in an economic non-co-operation "policy against the British. Interference with traffic will be lessened but merchants and people will be requested not to buy British goods, The Communist Party's subsidiary or ganisation, the League of Workers, Farmers, Students and Merchants will join the Strike Committee in seeing that this policy is carried out.
