The Midiu and China sections of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce have always been strongly opposed to the extension of the export credits schemo to India, Cegion, Chips, and Hongkong. as far as trade in yarns and textiles is concerned. staten the China tízpress and Telegraph, The Department of Uvarsens Trade inquired, however, recently whe ther the same objection was taken to the granting of applications for long credits I connection with contracts for

engineer- ing and other supplies to India, Ceylon, the Straits Settlements, China, and Hongkong

In the new number of the Chamber's Jonthly Record it is

it is stated that, after caretut consideration, it was decided to inform the Department that the sections have no objection to, the suggested "extension being made. The engineering trade, therefore, is likely to receive the benefit of export credits.
