"No Silk, No Japanese Goods" Campaign London, Mar. 1.
Hundreds of balloons carrying messages of support for China, and appealing to the people to use British rayon instead of silk, were released at a meeting in London inaugurating the "no silk, no Japanese goods" campaign.
Viscountess Gladstone, who was presiding, declared that it was no pleasure to wear silk stockings, dresses and ties wharf "you know that the price you are paying for those things is really the lives of your fellow human beings."
Prizes will be offered for those finding the balloons which travel the furthest. The balloons were released by the well-known actress, Miss Hermione Baddeley.—Reuter.
