FOREIGNERS’ PLIGHT IN CHINA BOYCOTT PARALYSING INDUSTRY PITCHED BATTLE IN HANKOW By Telegraph.— Press Assn.—Copyright Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. PEKING, November 24. Hankow is experiencing a reign of lawlessness unequalled in the history of the Chinese Treaty ports. The boycott is stiffening, and threatens to compel foreigners to abandon trading owing to the difficulties of conducting business and securing food. Japanese and British are the special victims. Numbers of Japanese were molested outside the Concession boundaries by pickets patrolling with pistols and threatening to shoot sellers of food to foreigners. More gunboats have been ordered to Hankow. Pitched battles between the foreign police and the Reds were narrowly averted on several occasions as the result of the Reds swooping into the Concessions and commandeering a whole garage fleet of motor-cars at the pistol point. Employees of foreign firms are being intimidated and industries are slowly being paralysed. The retiring British Minister at Peking predicts a worse situation as being certain, and pleads for AngloAmerican co-operation to meet the rising tide of Chinese nationalism aiming at the banishment of foreigners from China.
