Tientsin Americans

PROTEST

Against Japanese

The following Resolution was passed at the Regular meeting of the American Chamber of Commerce of Tientsin. held on November 9:——

B

E IT RESOLVED: that, the American Chamber of Commerce, Tientsin, China, unequivocally endorses the note of the Sesre- tary of Stale of the United States of America, addressed to the Japanese Government, calling attention to the infringement of 'American, rights and business interests in China, and pointing out. the obligations assumed by Japan under the Nine-Power Treaty, and the open door policy, and directing attention to Japan's failure to respect its treaty obligations, noting, that the assurances heretofore ziven by the Japanese Government to the American Government re- garding American rights and Interests in China, have not been con- verted into action.

WE HEARTILY ENDORSE the resolutions passed by the Shanghai American Association and the Tsingtao American Chamber of Commerce, and con- cur in the subject matter there- of, pointing out, as they do, the

*

-

restrictions and prohibitions against American business and the failure of Japan'to recognize and respect, American rights in China, as set forth in their notes and official declarations to the United States Government.

+

+

•

THAT the Japanese Government has been, and is, establishing puppet. Chinese Governments, which they control and direct, and through them have organized a campaign against American and other foreign business, and have imposed numerous restrictions upon ex- port cargo to America, by local customs or tariff regulations and arbitrary psuedo governmental orders, which give Japanese business a marked preference over American business. They are preventing the Importation of certain American products and manufactured. articles into North China, to the loss of American business firms. THAT THE JAPANESE, are circulating propaganda here and in the United States, to the effect, that if American business is to con- tinue in China, the agencies of American manufacturers must be placed in the hands of the Japanese, and intimating that "unless these Arnerican agencies are placed in the hands of the Japanese, that American manufacturers will not be able or permitted to sell their goods in China..

WE RECOMMEND that this subversive propaganda be widely pub- licized in the United States, and that all American manufactur- erg be warned that such a course on their part will result in an almost total loss of their business. as their goods will undoubtedly be shelved in favour of similar lines of goods of Japanese manu-, facture. It will tend to destroy American prestige and ultimately eliminate American business firms from conducting American busi ness in North China. All American manufacturers should be urgent- ly pressed, to insist upon their representations in North China being in the hands of American firma which will enjoy the support and protection of the American Government.

+

THAT necessary steps be taken

by the United States Govern- ment to prevent import of goods by firms enjoying privileges not enjoyed by American firms.

THAT the Japanese Authorities are preventing the shipment

nser-

of furs, wool and other chandise from the interior, into Tientsin, denying the native dealers and shippers, transporta-- tion facilities and preventing American merchants from par- chasing and dealing, in, these particular lines of merchandise.

*

THAT the Japanese authorities are setting aside and earmarking for themselves, all the products of China, which they require "or wish, without respect to world markets or demands or the oppor tur. ⚫ of American merchants to deal in these articles for export. THAT the Japanese authorities, acting through their local govern- mental organizations, are censoring and tearing out pages from American magazines, and that the Japanese authorities have no right, whatsoever. "to censor Américan malls and magazines, and we recommend that suitable action be taken with respect to this, un- warranted and unjustified interference with American publications. or inconveniences in travelling in, North China. That if this
