US "Panic" Export
Ban Causes Chaos In Hongkong
Situation Grave Says A Prominent Businessman
BY A CHINA MAIL REPORTER
America's panic export ban on potential war commodities to China is having serious reper- cussions in Hongkong. The ban, slapped on last week, has now been extended apparently to include luxury items such as fruit, nylon stockings and cigarettes as well.
At the moment no one in local business or official circles knows just what the exact position is regarding exports from the US. One prominent business man this morning described the situation as "grave.”
