TO DISCUSS TRADE
CONDITIONS IN CHINA.
Dr. Allen Will Urge Settlement of
Chinese Boycott.
SAVANNAH, Ga., March 29.—Rev.
! Young J Allen, the missionary from
China, will address the Savannah Cot-
I ton Exchange. I)r. Allen came over
to the general Methodist conference
and will not leave for China until Sep
iember. He will address the meeting
on "The Trade Conditions of China."
Speaking of the boycott movement,
Dr. Allen said:
"It, was begun at Shanghai by the
merchants’ guilds and Chinese Cham
ber of Commerce, and was not, at first
undertaken In any bad spirit, but sim-
J ply as a means of seeking a redress
which their own government seemed
powerless to exact. The boycott. In
.China as a means of extorting compli
ance is as old and about as effective
as was the mediaeval Interdict of the
I Pope.
But It soon got beyond control of
' those who started it, and the mer
i chants (Chinese) at Shanghai most
frantically went to Yuan Shi Kai, the
viceroy, for relief, nnd prayed him to
take measures to have the movement
arrested, ro they would all be ruined:
that Is, all who dealt In American
cotton goods, for they could not. dls
pose of stocks in hand, and would
be unable to take up the cargoes to
arrive, for which they were pledged
to the amount, of several millions,
and therefore, stood to lose both face
(honor) and their capital.
"In the beginning, when the boy
cott was first suggested, it. was in the
minds of many to make it cover every
phase of American Interest, and enter
prise—mission schools, churches and
even private families —hut It. was
finally resolved that the missions and
missionaries of the United States had
been of such eminent service to China
as to clearly exempt, them from the
action of the boycott, which they pro
posed to limit to the purely business
class.
Mr. Allan was asked what would be
the most feasible plan of dealing with
the subject so as to eliminate the pres
ent difficulties as to Inspection.
He said in part:
“The Inspectorates should be trans
ferred from the ports of entry In this
country and established in China at
the ports of embarkation, either sepa
rately or In connection with the
t'nited States consulates, pnd to allow
no one to embark who had not passed
the scrutiny in China.
"Even if this be done there would
still be troubles and annoyances of
various kinds, but it is very probable
that there would be no further com
plaint made by China of our laws of
administration to it.
: "Finally," said Mr. Allen, “I would
