Addressed to Governor Hong Kong telegram No.16 of 23 June.

(31)

Following from Martin.

Benelux Textiles.

Your telegram No. M384.

Statistics showing total imports, imports from Hong Kong and imports from low cost suppliers from 1965 onwards were given in the attachment to my Savingram No.432 of 5 June. I presume that the analysis you wish to make can be carried out on the basis of this information but if you require anything further I should be grateful to hear your specific requirements.

I should point

out that older statistics do not form a very useful basis for comparison owing to changes in the classification system.

F.0. please pass Hong Kong 16.

Sir R. Barclay
