From his outline, It implies none. It implies that China shall go on doing exactly the things that she has been doing with some success fur the last five years. Cultural- ly she will fight illiteracy, Introduce compulsory pri- mary education, Improve public health (has I fly found its way back to Pek- ing again?), and educate the now intellectual clan. Technologically, China will become more and more mechanised so as to match British industry and capl- talist agriculture within 15 years.

In a letter to the Financial Times, he declared, "This is a dangerous argument because it is double-edged and it may lead other countries with higher wege costs than ours to erect further barriers against imports of Lancashire textiles and other goods,"
Mr Jones stated, "Addition ally, it la o misleading argu- ment.

Nearly 1,000 refugees, mostly of Russian emigre stock, were reported lost month in Hongkong in transit from China. Mr G. A Snellgrave, of the British delegation, said that "unless

General Charles de Gaulle overcame threatening opposition in Parliament and won full powers early today to rewrito the Fronch Constitution without going through Parliamen- tary channels.

They did — 350 votes to 163 in a crucial confidence vote shortly before 1 a.m.
