Canal Dispute CRISIS EFFECT ON HK

Taken To UN
London, Sept. 21.
а
The 18-nation Suez conference wound up here tonight with a pledge to continue efforts to reach "peaceful solution" of the Suez Canal dispute on the basis of pro- posals for international control of the waterway.
At the same time the Big Three declared that the issue should be taken to the United Nations "whenever it seems
that this will facilitate a settlement.' A British spokesman indicated there would be early recourse to the United Nations. These points came in documents issued at the end of the three-day conference, called following Egypt's rejection of the 18 powers' inter- national control proposals.

Informed opinion in Hongkong about the effect of the Suez Canal crisis on general conditions in the Colony varies, out a canvas made by the China Mail shows these points of agreement.
Increases in freight rates will not seriously affect local industry or the cost of living. There are likely to be further rises in shipping charges for both passenger traffic and freight. There may be an acute shortage of shipping space soon and consequent shortages in European pected of Communist acli- commodities here, and delays in delivery.
