For concrete examples of what sudden slump would mean, they have samples in the sharp cut of restaurant and night club activity last fall, the spectacle...
...death with two-by-fours. They set up a People's Purge Committee. Moderates in the Committee-like the tea merchant Wang Tien-teng-broadcast middle-of-the-road demands: election of mayors; public enterprises to be run by Formosans; abolition of monopolies.
