Philippines Senator Says:

With To Stop Trade China We

We Must Close HK Consulate

Mantis, Aug. 8.

An intuendal senator said today the Philippines would have to close ita consulates in Hongkong and Bingapore if "we want to avoid the flow of our goods into Communist countries."

Benator Edmundo Cea, Chairman of the Senate Commerce Commklee, was commenting on a proposal by the defence secretary, Jesus Vargas, to severe barler frade ties with free port countries on grounds of national security. "Whether or not barter Is utliford as a mode of commercial relation." he said, "the fact remains that we trade with Hongkong rough straight dollar sales."

The Senator sald Philippine goods thus would still reach Hongkong even if barter trading with the Crown Colony is eliminated.

"To be consistent," Mr Cea said, "I would be beiler if we abollsh our Consulate there and drop trading with it allurether."--U.FI.
