《商人救国》对商界的抗日救国宣传——兼论上海商人救国协会的性质

The Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Propaganda among the Business Circles by National Salvation by Merchants

1932年成立的上海商人救国协会,并非论者所说之典型假托商人名义的团体,而是具有宽泛意义的商办爱国团体。在其存续不长的时间里,该团体围绕抗日救国宗旨积极开展相关活动,并创办会刊《商人救国》,广为宣传国难中商人的使命与责任,以及商人救国的途径。会刊《商人救国》改名为《商人公论》后仍号召商人坚持抵制日货,振兴国货,而且更加关心政治问题,甚至抨击国民党政府的不抵抗政策,发挥了“商人喉舌”的积极作用。

Shanghai Merchants Association for National Salvation,which was established in 1932,was a patriotic business organization in a broad sense.During its short existence,the association actively carried out related activities centering on the purpose of resisting Japanese aggression and saving the country,and established the journal National Salvation by Merchants to widely publicize the mission and responsibility of businessmen during the national calamity,as well as the ways to save the country.After changing its name to Merchants Public Opinion,the journal still called on businessmen to boycott Japanese goods and revitalize domestic goods.Moreover,it paid more attention to political issues and even attacked the non-resistance policy of the Kuomintang government,playing a positive role as the mouthpiece of businessmen.
