and prejudiced if it is made to impose regulations capable of irretrievably undermining the Colony's economy. Moreover, another factor has entered- the fierce competition now being offered by the revitalised Japan. Mr U Tat- chee, who is in a good position to assess this problem, is convinced as a result of a visit to Japan, that Hongkong's indus- tries are threatened by the re-emergence of Japanese competition-competition which becomes unequal while Hongkong manufacturers are denied raw materials through embargoes, while the Japanese requirements are readily met. Mr Hansen is reported as observing that "In order to maintain itself, Hongkong must gain confidence abroad in her ability to stop the flow of strategic materials into Communist-dominated countries." For our part, completely satisfied that we are dis- playing this ability, Daily, as the court prosecutions show, the Authorities are successfully throttling. the smuggling trade in materials and commodities which are on our prohibited export list. Whether the United States Senate is kept informed of this we have no way of knowing, but the facts are available and they cannot be disputed. Possibly a little more objective reporting over scas about Hongkong and its trading relations with the rest of the Far East would enable people to "gain confidence in Hongkong's ability, to stop the flow of strategic materials to Communist dominated countries" We feel we have no reason to be ashamed of our efforts in that direction and we believe that Mr Hansen will, in all sincerity, be able to report/favourably to his Senate sub- committee whon ho returns, to Washington.

The newspaper-usually con- Bidered authoritative on Gov ernment matters said that the Indictment was now being con- sidered by the chief Govern ment attorney. No public statement on the matter was expected until the attorney had reached a final decisión.
