PUTS THE STRAIGHT

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT)

London, Mar. 26.

British manufacturers are again in un uproar over imported Hong- kong goods which undercut their high-cost products.

And, like previous campaigns against Hongkong cotton shirts and rubber shoes, the latest attack takes the form of widely publicised allega- tiods concerning the origin of Hongkong knitted gloves.

Originator of this fresh outburst is Mr Roy Kemp, Chairman of the knitted glovewear section of the National Association of Glove Manufac-

turers.

1

He claims that Hongkong has no machinery for making gloves and that gloves shipped from the Colony come from Red China and Japan.

Mr Kemp's outspoken views appeared in the Birmingham Gazette, headed "Smuggled-in' Goods y." According to this report "the businesses of glove-manufacturing firms in the Mid- tands and the livelihood of thousands of their workers are threatened by the sale in Britain of Eastern cut- this country as price knitted gloves 'smuggled' into 'Commonwealth goods.'"
