Boycotts Only A Temporary Sat Back.
I find that in colleges and univer- sities the idea is current that the United States, though claimed to be able to hold her own against all comers, fancies that the recent ex- hibition of animosity towards the British will benefit her own trade. That was the view presented by the professor to whom I listened the other evening. As I listened, how- ever, I regretted that I was not able to inform the class that this is a fallacy, Boycotts cannot lust for ever. The nation under boycott this year may become the general

In 1926 the United States sold to China 187 million taels' worth of general merchandise, and bought from her just over 150 million, so that the favourable balance of about 37 million taels was wiped out last year. The largest amount of goods that the United States has sold to China was in 1924 (Hk. Tla. 190.0 million), when the balance of trade in her favour was over ninety million taels, the total of her trade with China for that year being Tis 201.7 million.
