JAPAN WILTS AT LAST
BOYCOTT BY THE CHINESE DEMAND ACCEDED TO (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 9.5 a.m. SHANGHAI, Tues. The first sign of Japan wilting under Chinese boycott pressure is contained in a report from Hankow, that the Japanese Consul has announced that his Government is agreeable to accede to the Chinese demand that adequate punishment be imposed on the Japanese marine chauffeur who knocked down and killed a Chinese wheelbarrow coolie, thereby precipitating the general strike and the boycott. In addition, the consul will officially express regret and allow the deceased’s family 15 dollars (30s) monthly for a period of years. Concerning the demand for the withdrawal of the Japanese marines from Hankow", the Japanese Consul explained that the authority for this lies with the Japanese Government.
