But in a year they were trembling in the face ofthat boycott. I was in Tientsin, and Peking during the days of theStudent Street Demonstrations. They were like American demonstrations. Keen, alert, intelligent Chinese boys addressed the crowds admonishingthem not to buy Japanese goods in Chinese shops. The pressure became sostrong that all Chinese merchants from the lowest shopkeeper up to theowner of the great chain stores, like our Woolworth institutions, putaway Japanese-made goods and refus...ed to sell them. I took dinner in Shanghai with one of the foremost merchant princes ofChina and said, "Are you selling any Japanese-made goods?" "I certainly am not. I am not powerful enough with all my millions ofmoney and all of my chain of stores to take such a chance as that. Ihave put all of my Japanese goods in the cellar. " The Boycott against Japanese goods in China became so powerful that inTientsin, while I was there, the Japanese Consul complained bitterly tothe Governor of the Province and the Governor who was said to be underthe influence of Japanese money, arrested a lot of students.
