"THIS CHAMBER is of the opinion that, unless a firm stand is taken. American rights and business interests in China will continue to suffer at the hands of the Japanese Government and its local .agencies, and we earnestly re- commend and firmly believe that. unless the American Government takes strong re- taliatory action, by such measures as will serve to de- finitely convince the Japanese Government that the Arnerican Government intends to keep the door to equal business op- portunity in China, open, for American business, American business will be wiped out in China.
