Chinese Shrimps Banned From U.S. Roads Police Launch
Washington, May 4. Shrimps imported from China by Canada may not travel on American roads, the State Department announced today.
They have been banned on the grounds
of "national security," officials said, because the Government refuses to do anything which might help the Peking regime in any way, Canada wished to transport the shrimps over about 1,000 miles of United
States roads from Vancouver to Alberta and asked for freedom of transit under Gatt, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade,
But the United States said there was a complete ban on Communist Chinese goods entering the country — and claimed the right to refuse transit under the security provisions of article 21 of Gatt.
In Ottawa, the Canadian House of Com- mons rocked with laughter today
►
when a Member of Parliament asked how the transport of the shrimps and soya sauce across American territory could affect United States security.
Premier John Diefenbaker, disputing the American right to farbid the goods in question, said the Canadian Gov- ernment 'had expressed this view to the American State Department and was studying what stops could be taken by the Canadian authorities.
Meanwhile the Toronto daily newspaper,
Globe and Mail said in an editorial devoted to the episode that this was the first time it had heard of soya sauce constituting a national mennoe. The newspaper added that the United States must be in a bad way it considered its foundations could be 摄 undermined by the passage of
cargo destined for the maiding of chop suey. Reuter and France Presse,
