On the contrary there is good reason to enter- tain renewed hopes that a satisfactory solution of the current impasse will be found. Latest reports from Washing- ton suggest that if the talks have not made quick progress there is at least a growing appreciation in official American circles of the invidious and dangerous position in which Hongkong has been placed in consequence of the embargo so abruptly applled late last year.

as it has apparently been argued by the British representatives, the ques tion of giving a guarantee remains academic until the Colony's "mini- mum" requirements can be satisfled. And this really is the answer. It would not be in the interests of Hongkong to re-export to Communist China raw materials and commodities which she herself desperately needs to sustain her internal economy, and; on these grounds alons a guarantee exists that Red China will not benefit from a re- laxation of the embargo. Washington's main fear appears to be that the United States will be double-crossed by Hongkong importers, distributors and exporting agencies if the ban is raised, and it might well be that the State Department of Commerco is at- tempting to manoeuvre the British representatives Into-accepting a pro---- position that the Hongkong : GovernTM: ment, should become the oficial
