The Students Union here has como} in for a good deal of very harsh criticism from the Chamter of Cortmerce and the business people in general. Tt was created, of course, to boycott Japanese and British goods, but they could not keep going without money so the Union in ender to raise funds, decided to, put fa tax on all imported goods, British or Japanese. Drygoods were taxed at six dollars per large ease and seaweed coming from Japan was taxed 60 cents per bundle, and as much as was desired could be introduced when these taxes were paid.
Naturally the Chamber of Commerce raised a strenuous opposition. The Presbyterian Boys school was accused of being implicated, but it was pointed out that the students who were wearing I Chi uniforms were old students and had no pre-tent relations with the school. As protest, I Chi withdraw from the Union and put an announcement to this effect in the "Siangtan Daily." This has hed a good influence on all concerned.
