Cause of Boycott Denby Before Committee on Immigration
Chief Clerk Denby told the Senate committee that a China originated boycott against American commerce was likely inspired by a high Chinese official but he had no personal knowledge of that detail. He argued the boycott appeared spontaneous yet organized, and that admitting Chinese laborers would not lift the ban on American goods. He urged cautious certification and limited consular oversight to avoid undermining national pride and to prevent loopholes for Chinese workers.
