EXPORTS CREDIT
REPRESENTATIVE
Mr. William Kirkpatrick, special representative in China of the Exports Credit Guarantee Depart- ment of the British Government, was a passenger on board the P. and O. Einer Naldera when it arrived in port from Shanghai yesterday afternoon. He was ac- companied by Mr. Kirkpatrick.
Mr. Kirkpatrick came out to China six weeks ago to assist the Exports Credit Department in assessing risks and to help Britian manufacturers capture a bigger share of China trade, He is solely concerned with financial and economic proposals and the task confronting him is to examine and consider on the spot the proposals submitted for guarantees in con- |nection with the export of United
Kingdom goods.
The rapidity with which condi- tións in China have been changing has handicapped the Department in assessing credit risks and the number of proposals received by them prompted the appointment of Mr. Kirkpatrick who is not here seeking orders.
Interviewed by the "Daily Press" yesterday, Mr. Kirkpatrick stated he had nothing to say regarding the result of his survey except that China presented a tremen- dous scope for all foreign busi-
nesses.
"I cannot express any opinion which might be regarded by some as being optimistic or pessimistic," Mr. Kirkpatrick said:
