Questions put to Sir Hartley Shawcross, President of the Board of Trade, after his announcement in the Commons today of licence control on all goods sent to China and Hongkong, show that MP's are not satisfied with the situation.

A strict control system is to be imposed in the United Kingdom os from June 25 prohibiting the export of a long Est of strategic materials, including rubber, and extending licensing control to Hongkong. The decision represents full compliance with the United Nations embargo

What la equally important, whether or not the American economic experts are sufficiently impressed that they will drop the campaign for a highly pre-- mature naval blockade. the implication Is plain: Britain is satisfied that the real needs are adequately met, that the controls are stringent in all conscience, and that Britain's participation in any blockade must not be expected. What precisely will be the effect on Hongkong of the sharp tightening of controls
