Boycott Of Japanese
Goods Is Advancing
Steadily In ^ orld
300.000.000 People Taking
Part to Advance
Peace Cause
Nearly six months have passed
since a consumer's boycott mas urg
ed as a means not only of ultimate
ly stopping Japan's aggression
China, but of lessening the
threat of another world mar The
movement, mhiie sporadic at first,
shorn*ed steady advance as the meek>

picting the attack the boycott of
Japanese goods has. become nation
mnde The pictures brought the real
ities of the situation graphically to
the minds of the American people
They sam\ in the act of the Japanese
militarists, not a mistake in identify,

Within the pa>: three weeks the
largest chain stores, including the(

placing additional orders for Japan

Although tne chair, stores hav
been more open in their announce

public sentiment can be more accur

About the middle of December, i".
was announced by the manufactur

that they would be compelled to!
consider a mid-w inter curtailment of
production in their lines
A feature of the boycott is the re
markable increase in tr.e manufac

of which has greatly increased ir.

months. This increased production

materials
Reports show that a number of na
tional organizations have endorsed
the boycott Among these are the
Committee for Industrial Organiza
lioc. the American Federation of La
bor, the American Negro Congress
and the American Student Union In
addition to these well-known nation
al organizations, individual units of
other national organizations have
recommended the boycott
The effect of the showing of the
films of the attack on the Panay and
the murder of Chinese women and,
children by the Japanese army was
recently reflected in the action of I
children in the slums of New York
who. when given Japanese toys a> |
