THE NEW

BOYCOTT.

[65

During the past week certain sections of Labour in Canton have renewed the boycott of British cargo, and, if anything, the trade position is worse than it was before.

The workers now interfering with shipping are acting in defiance of Government orders, but the Govern- ment are apparently unable to enforce their authority.

Canton is governed at the moment by Labour factions. That is the explanation of the present deadlock.

The details are given fully in the HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS, published to-day.

The WEEKLY provides a budget of information, collected from all quarters, on trade matters. Copies should be sent to all having business connections with the Far East.

This issue also includes the report of the conmemorn. tion of Armistice Day and articles on many other topics of interest.
