COMMENT OF THE DAY
Hongkong And The Embargo
THE
of
THE Colony's trading community will be grateful for the assuran- ces given by Mr Ralph Hunt, United :States Consul for Economic Affairs, concerning his efforts to obtain clarifi- cation of the United States' total ex- port ban as it affects Hongkong, and his promise that he is doing all he can to free cargoes for local consumption. We trust that Mr. Hunt will receive quick information from Washington that will straighten out a difficult, and to many Hongkong businessmen, :a costly tangle. Two factors are worry- ing Colony traders, The first is the possible--nay probable-financial losses in consequence of the off-loading cargoes now en route to Hongkong. In a number of cases, the commodities have been paid for in hard-earned gold dollars, and there are no apparent signs that our importors will be relm- bursed.
would Certain ansurances help; for example a guarantee that off- loaded cargoes will be properly stored and protected pending clarification of whether they can be considered logitt- mate exports to Hongkong for local consumption. These goods which have been paid for and shipped are, after all, the property of the Hongkong 'pur- chaner and he is entitled to some guarantees that either he will receive Is cargoes, or, falling that, will be nly indemnified against loss. Com- mercial Insuranco: conditions do not necessarily offer this protection, and whore they do not, it appears to be the moral responsibility of the American authorities...” tó-sed that -cargoes for- warded before the embargo was ap- sued should either reach their destion don in propers condition, or the unfor amato purchaser, should be ralm-
bursed. The second concern is more long-range. It is whether or not the United States intends to modify the existing total ban on exports and re- exports to Hongkong. There seems to be ample scope for amicable arrange- ment and compromise. Hongkong does not ask for more than what it regards as its legitimate rights which, in brief, are to receive essential and luxury American
purely commodities for domestic use, and to be able to re- export these non-strategic materials.to countries other than China for which orders are placed. We note, with satis-
faction that Mr Hunt emphasises his desire to free cargoes of raw materials which the Colony must have for its local industries. This is an all-impor tant consideration and cannot be un- duly underlined. Continuance of the total ban could seriously undermine. Hongkong's economic position, for we are dependent to a great extent, on American materials and products to satisfy our own daily needs. The Colony seeks no privileges or dispen- sation so far as war or strategical materials are concerned. We readily subscribe to the American embargo on”, that type of cargo because it might. well find its way into wrong hands. In this respect Hongkong will certainly honour to the full the export ban which it has itself imposed. But it is very necessary that Hongkong be freed from the total embargo and is permit ted to continue to purchase from the United States raw materials and manu- factured products essential to the day- to-day needs of the Colony, Wo ̈ ̃din- cerely trust that tho wook-end will bring a clarification of the situation and a helpful modification of the cur rent United States restrictions
