HK COTTON UNDERTAKING
London, Jan. 6. The Manchester Guardian today claimed that the voluntary undertaking by the Hong- kong textile industry to limit exports to Britain would not do much to help Lancashire out of its immediate troubles.
But it welcomed it. as a move which
would be of some benefit.
After saying that it would raise few cheers In Lancashire, the Guardian comment- ed:
"The undertaking will not do much to help the cotton industry out of its Imme diate troubles. The volume of duty- free goods entering the British market is not after all to be cut. Indeed the level of Imports is to be allowed to rise above last year's.
"All that has really been done is to set an upper limit to the growth of imports over the next three years.
"Nevertheless the undertaking will do some good and is to be welcomed. Displacing HK "Provided that India and Pakistan are
prepared to rutify
the provisional agreements that they made earlier with the Cotton Bourd, Lancashire will have been granted a breathing
space.
"Much has been made in the last year or so of the harm done by uncertainty about the future level of imports. "If only part of this was true then a period of stability should help to restore con- fidence."
