Ottawa, Jan. 11.
If the West. withdrew restrictions on trade with Communist Chinn, the demand in Western countries for Chinese goods could soon be filled and trade would soon die out, the Canadian Government's Assistant Trade Commissioner In Hongkong, Mr M. B. Blackwood, said today.
China was "woefully short of foreign ex- change" and in all recent trade deals had proposed to pay for imports with produce, he said.
Mr Blackwood said this in an article in the current edition of the Trade Department publica- tion "Foreign Trade."
