According to the China Press this morning, Mr. CHAPEI "HERO"

Hayashi, the taipan of one of the leading Japanese firms, is planning to approach the local Chinese authorities, through Mr. Wu Tieh-chen, the Mayor, in order to sug gest a meeting of Chinese and Japanese leaders of civilian bodies which would seek to find a solution of pre- sent difficulties and put an end to the feeling of strain in the local situation.

Foreign residents hope that his efforts will meet with success, though doubt is expressed whether the Chinese civilian leaders can be persuaded to meet the Japanese at any sort of "round table conference."

The biggest business organisations in Shanghai, in Chinese circles, are actively supporting the boycott and it is inherent in any proposal to ease the tension that the boycott shall be called off.
