Foreign trade circles believe that the Chinese Com- munists are willing to enter into commercial intercourse with other nations.

"BIG BLACK MARKET"
Johannesburg, March 6.
With one stroke of the pen the South African Goy- crnment has created the biggest black market the country has ever known, commercial men declared in Johannesburg yesterday.
They are watching their shops being stripped of luxuries by frantic buyers following the publi- cation of a list of banned imports designed to save Sterling and more dollars for the Union's quaking economy.
Whisky of any kind is now at the present rate-one woman unobtainable while shopkeepers paid £200 in cash to a city declare that stocks of imported chemist yesterday for his en- cosmetics will not last a month tire stock of her favourite brand. The Government has announc- ed stern measures against black marketeers but traders with ex- perience of Ineffectual wartime measures are sceptical.
