Students Spark Nationwide Strike in China Lead by 20 000
Miss Harriet Smith S W C A student secretary in Shanghai recounts how about 20 000 Chinese students aged twelve to twenty one organized to oust militarists from Beijing. They formed the Chinese Students Patriotic Society, issued four demands including ending the 21 demands by Japan and restoring Shantung to China. They used propaganda, public speaking, and literature to awaken patriotism, faced arrests, yet organized prison solidarity and economic pressure from bankers and merchants to force concessions.
