ON BILL 93

STORY ON PAGE 6

Confronted with the proba-
bility of having to undertake
any naval blockade of the
Chinese coast alone, the Eisen-
hower administration this week
appeared to be reluctantly
abandoning its proposal and
instead exerting pressure on
British and’ other countries to
impose an embargo on trade

with People’s China.

- ® Shown at left is one of the
Isbrandtson freighters which
defied Chiang Kai-shek’s at-
tempted blockade in 1949,

U.S. China policy boomerangs

In the House of Lords, the
Marquess of Reading, parlia-
mentary under-secretary for
foreign affairs, indicated that
the Royal Navy would be or.
dered to protect not only Brit-
ish but Ceylonese ships as weil,
which now carry on an exten-
sive trade with People’s China.
(See story on page 3.)

In Canada, the U.S. demand
for an embargo on trade with
People’s China is certain to

meet with opposition from in-
terests in B.C. which regard

restoration of the former Chin-
ese market and revival of
trans-Pacific shipping as one
solution to their present mar-
keting problem.

A press statement issued this
week by Lieut. Commander W.
S. E. Morrison, RCN retired,
LPP candidate, succinctly plac-
ed the issue in terms of his
Comox-Alberni federal riding:

“Port Alberni could now be
shipping millions of ties and
pit-props to 450 million custom-
ers in the new and up and com-
ing China.”
