SELLING ORANGES
Sir, —It is all very well for your correspondent to complain that we Chinese decline to sell oranges or bananas unless other goods are bought. We are in a similar position.

Have not you Europeans a proverb, "What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander"?—l am, etc., CHINESE FRUITERER. Evening Post, Volume CXXXVIII, Issue 22, 26 July 1944, Page 4
