This is the nineth boycott of Soul Corps' Notification appearing Japanese goods by the Chinese in your to-day's paper, we request hereby to change that the Notification was actually issued by our Regiment which is called ili Chinese "Jin Kuo Hsu Chien To" and is not Blood and Soul Corps Notification. On the other hand we will send representative to that corps for the distinction of your mistake in reporting and translate ing. Moreover we had issued ten sheets of this kind of notice and pasted them all on the walls of highways of Shanghai area in order to warn the Traitorous and to notify the public, As to the sentiment of the sentence notified in Chinese language which reads "Ceasing sending of Letter Warning and performing a tremendous attempts" we beg to state that the sense seems to be uncomplete as we are purposing to destroy with bombs the hongs or shops where we had warned with letters for several times and those we will find that there is not enough time to warn on the completion of our urgent investigation. We still are going to warn with letters those hongs or shops that we had never warned before.
Since Japanese invaded our Manchuria on the eighteenth day of September last, a great number of patriotic groups was organised progressively. There are more than sixty organisations in Shanghai and amongst these the most active, powerful and strictly organised is our Regiment as anyone of our Regiment has well been trained with laws, business, polities and diplomacy, so that our performance both people yet Japanese goods continue to be imported and sold in large quantities. It is painful even to mention how traitorous merchants seize every opportunity to make profits every time there is a boycott, Should not drastic measures be taken to check the treacherous activities of these people, there will be no salvation so far as our national calamity, is concerned.
"Being responsible for the guidance of merchants in Nanking Road in the boycott of enemy goods, your Union should exert its utmost efforts to see that the boycott is ferried out successfully. Enemy goods are still being sold in large quantities in Nanking Road in spite the boycott. Not satisfied with having ignored your responsibility, in the matter your Union has done nothing but disseminate worthless propaganda in the hope of sheltering traitorous merchants.
"We hereby fix a time of five days, during which your Union must clear off all enemy goods from Nanking Road and merchants are warned that such goods must not be disposed of in future. Failing this and"in the event of enemy goods being sold in Nanking Road after the time limit. we will adopt definite action in dealing with members of the Union who ignore this warning"
