Manufacturers Of Firecrackers Protest Government's Ban

Government's refusal to allow firecrackers contain- ing potassium chlorate to be stored in the Colony, or to be brought here from China for ro-export, has aroused a storm of protest from Chinese firecracker manufacturers. Complaining that this action was utterly unreason- able and would deprive manufacturers of an annual business of HK$15,000,000 in exports to the United States alone, the Chinese manu- facturers have forwarded a petition to the Governor in Council asking for the lifting of the ban.
