WOULD GREATLY EMBARRASS JAPS NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—An -AmzUNIVERSITY CLUB GIVE PRE-GAME DINNER WEDNES. The annual University Club preerican boycott of Japanese silk which . is now being widely discussed, would strike Japan in a very vulnerable: ‘ spot, according to. William W. Lockwood, Jr., in the Far Eastern Survey. Analyzing the ‘“‘Economies of a. Silk Boycott,’ Mr. Lockwood states that an effective boycott by American consumers would further increase Japan’s acute shortage of foreign exbig game dinner will take place next. . Wednesday night at 6:30 o’clock in the. National hotel, There will be songs, cheers. and oratory. Judge Raglan Tuttle will be toastmaster and Mrs. Marian Libbey will lead the singing. Ringing choruses from the high school will add to the festivity. i All graduates or anyone who has change (with which she has to fins . ance purchases of foreign raw mater: . ials for . and it “‘would greatly intensify the in the countrythe most panese government at home.”’ However, Mr. Lockwood adds, ‘‘it is difficult to believe that the blocking of the American silk trade would, in itself, be decisive. To achieve the full aims of those who propose this type of protest against Japanese action in China, it would have to be accompanied by a far-. -. reaching boycott of other types of . Japanese exports, not only in the United. States but in other countries.”’ : The technique of a silk boycott would be relatively simple, as ‘“‘the American consumer cacn easily idertify Japanese silk because nearly\all the silk in the American market \is Japanese, The United States purchas+ es its entire silk supply abroad, and in 1936 Japan furnished 92 per cent of American imports. Out of total imports from Japan of $172.5 million raw silk alone: amounted to 55 per cent last year. Japan furnishes three quarters of the world’s commercial supply of silk; China about 10 per cent in recent years, and Italy around 7-8 per cent, but China’s exports are now disrupted by the war.”’ “The consumption of silk in the United States is now concentrated in certain fairly definite lines. The great bulk goes into women’s wearing apparel and especially into hosiery. In recent months the demand outside hosiery has fallen off so much that 75 per cent of the current use today is said to be in the manufacture of stockings. An effective boycott, therefore, must necessarily focus on the buying habits of the American women.”’ Discussing the possibility of substituting rayon for silk, the author finds that in the field of piece goods industrial and military use) !5 . wishes this to be generally announc. which now use silk.”’ . every three farm households depends ‘on sericulture for all or part of its disease, the causes and biological efever attended a college anywhere is cordially invited. Myers Mobeley, general chairman of arrangements, AA. “without certain American industries carried through dislocation in As seen from Japan, a-silk hoyoott would seriously react upon the economie life of the country. American consumers buy 85 per cent of Japan’s raw silk exports, and about 60 per cent of her entire output. ‘‘Raw silk is second only to cotton piece goods in’ Japan’s export trade, forming about one seventh of Japan’s total exports. The economy of Japan is built. upon foreign trade, and now with an acute shortage of foreign exchange facing her, the importance of maintaining silk exports will increase.”’ Moreover, ‘‘almost half the Japanese people live on farms, and one in livelihood. Cocoon-raising is a supplementary source of income in wide areas, usually contributing 10-15 per cent of total agricultural income. It is the main reliance of peasants in certain mountainous prefectures © of central Japan. Moreover, the silk~ reeling industry gives part time employment to over 350,000 people, most of them. peasant girls. Thus a silk boycott would impose a further burden upon the rural economy, except as that burden was assumed by the state treasury.” y , Mrs. Vanberg oe at Dinner Mr. and Mrs. Martin Vanberg entertained with a party and turkey dinner at their home on Grove last Saturday evening.

WOULD GREATLY EMBARRASS JAPS NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—An -AmzUNIVERSITY CLUB GIVE PRE-GAME DINNER WEDNES. The annual University Club preerican boycott of Japanese silk which . is now being widely discussed, would strike Japan in a very vulnerable: ‘ spot, according to. William W. Lockwood, Jr., in the Far Eastern Survey. Analyzing the ‘“‘Economies of a.

To achieve the full aims of those who propose this type of protest against Japanese action in China, it would have to be accompanied by a far-. -. reaching boycott of other types of . Japanese exports, not only in the United. States but in other countries.”’ : The technique of a silk boycott would be relatively simple, as ‘“‘the American consumer cacn easily idertify Japanese silk because nearly\all the silk in the American market \is Japanese, The United States purchas+ es its entire silk supply abroad, and in 1936 Japan furnished 92 per cent of American imports. Out of total imports from Japan of $172.5 million raw silk alone: amounted to 55 per cent last year. Japan furnishes three quarters of the world’s commercial supply of silk; China about 10 per cent in recent years, and Italy around 7-8 per cent, but China’s exports are now disrupted by the war.”’ “The consumption of silk in the United States is now concentrated in certain fairly definite lines. The great bulk goes into women’s wearing apparel and especially into hosiery. In recent months the demand outside hosiery has fallen off so much that 75 per cent of the current use today is said to be in the manufacture of stockings. An effective boycott, therefore, must necessarily focus on the buying habits of the American women.”’ Discussing the possibility of substituting rayon for silk, the author finds that in the field of piece goods industrial and military use) !5 . wishes this to be generally announc. which now use silk.”’ . every three farm households depends ‘on sericulture for all or part of its disease, the causes and biological efever attended a college anywhere is cordially invited. Myers Mobeley, general chairman of arrangements, AA. “without certain American industries carried through dislocation in As seen from Japan, a-silk hoyoott would seriously react upon the economie life of the country. American consumers buy 85 per cent of Japan’s raw silk exports, and about 60 per cent of her entire output. ‘‘Raw silk is second only to cotton piece goods in’ Japan’s export trade, forming about one seventh of Japan’s total exports. The economy of Japan is built. upon foreign trade, and now with an acute shortage of foreign exchange facing her, the importance of maintaining silk exports will increase.”’ Moreover, ‘‘almost half the Japanese people live on farms, and one in livelihood. Cocoon-raising is a supplementary source of income in wide areas, usually contributing 10-15 per cent of total agricultural income. It is the main reliance of peasants in certain mountainous prefectures © of central Japan. Moreover, the silk~ reeling industry gives part time employment to over 350,000 people, most of them. peasant girls. Thus a silk boycott would impose a further burden upon the rural economy, except as that burden was assumed by the state treasury.” y , Mrs. Vanberg oe at Dinner Mr. and Mrs. Martin Vanberg entertained with a party and turkey dinner at their home on Grove last Saturday evening.
