NEW BOYCOTT MOVEMENT, CANTON'S POLICY.

STRIKE COMMITTEE'S LATEST

SCHEME.

GOVERNMENT IN

QUANDARY• Reports from Canton indicate that the Government there is finding some difficulty in framing the official proclamation order- ing the termination of the boycott, and that, in the meantime, the Strike Committee has formulated a series of resolutions for a new hoycott movement to be extended throughout the whole country.

The strike organisation is demanding that the proceeds of the proposed new taxes "shall be entirely used as subsidies for the strikers, and is also asking the Government to encourage the new boycott movement.

A Canton labour organisation states that the Government has not changed its attitude towards the strikers; and that it does not intend to interfere with the boycott, having merely stopped “the blockade" for diplomatic reasons.

Bettlement of the massacre, enses of 30th May and 23rd June, and cancellation of unequal treaties, this new movement will not stop' even for a single day.
