A “Free” Shanghai

A “Free” Shanghai.

An even greater “trade crime” than dumping is the boycott. Chinese boycotting has led to one undeclared war with Japan, and may lead to another, for the Japanese allege that the boycott at Shanghai is being renewed with the support of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, which support they would regard as strengthening the case for another armed intervention. It should be noted that for some time Japanese and Shanghai papers have been discussing a proposal that Greater Shanghai (not merely the foreign settlements there) should be made a Free City, with an independent status under the League of Nations, or with sufficient independence to secure for trade an open door. The Chinese nationalists, who wish to take back the foreign settlements, would be aghast at this new amputation. Dare they risk another boycott and another sanguinary clash?
