China's Workers Call for World's Support

APPEAL TO BOYCOTT CONFERENCE FOR STRONG RESOLUTIONS

Wuhan, Feb. 10.

The city is plastered with slogans and posters put up by labour organisations on the occasion of the workers' "Anti-Aggression and peasants' demonstration for

Week." The English slogans of the Postal Workers Union are most prominent and urge workers throughout the world to support the anti-Japanese boycott.

International Peace The China branch of the Campaign has telegraphed to Lord Cecil, chairman of the London Boycott Conference stating that 818,000 square miles and 125,000,000 Chinese people are at present under Japanese domination and huge masses of refugees are in all the cities, including half a million each in Peiping, Tientsin and Shanghai, a quarter million in Nanking and 100,000 in Hankow, all unprovided for. In the first two weeks of January 10,000 bodies of refugees were found, dead of exposure, in Shanghai alone.

The telegram recapitulates the destruction of schools by the Japanese and the insults to foreigners, and urges upon the Boycott Conference four resolutions:

1. To declare Jupan an enemy of humanity;

-2. To suspend economie old and financial credit to Japan and stop the despatch of arms, techniclans, food and medicine to that country;

3. To support China with

and advisers;

arms

4. To apply the League Covenant. 10 the Sino- Articles 16 and 17,
