British Disappointed Over
China Recognition Results
Hong Kong, March 6 tin Brit
ish recognition of communist
China has not given this colony
the business jackpot for which it
had hoped.
Warehouses are crammed with
' goods, but there are few buyers
and the incoming cash is down to
a trickle.
There is a housing and office
space shortage, but real estate
values are off by 40 per cent be
cause of financial market trou
bles. Also, because some of the
rich are afraid the reds one day
may make things hot for Hong
Kong militarily.
Hong Kong is important com
mercially as a clearing house In
trade between China and foreign
countries. Businessmen say these
are the reasons for its hard
times:
Blockade HurU
1. The nationalist air and sea
blockade of the China coast has
closed Shanghai, the biggest
Chinese port, and may spread
north to Tsingtao and Tientsin.
Attacks on American merchant.
men are making the stoutest
mariners think twice before try.
ing to run the blockade.
2. The purchasing power of the
Chinese- communist government
and the Chinese people is not too
high right now. Chinese industry
and agriculture are not In very
good shape,
3. The communists do place
bulk orders in or through Hong
Kong. But these don t help the
private importers and exporters
much. The communists call these
middlemen "exploiters, and buy
mostly direct from the manufac
turers or through a few agents.
4. The hi "g Kong middlemen,
for their p ... t, also want to get
around the communist trade ag
encies. They say the communists
are too rigid and unrealistic in
their dealings.
5. Exportsto China took a beat
ing when the reds stopped the
barter system three months ago.
Under this system the exporter
couldn't get his proceeds back In
foreign currency, but he could get
it back in imports.
Banknotes Banned '
The communists dropped a fi
nancial problem in Hong Kong's
lap when they banned Hong Kong
banknotes, at a time when about
half of Hong Kong's note issue
was circulating on the mainland.
The notes flowed back into
Hong Kong. An inflationary trend
developed. Hong Kong banks be
gan calling in loans and mort
gages on real estate to "tighten"
the money market. People began
selling real estate.
The inflation threat hasn't
.been licked as yet, but real es.
r
tate values are down. One bank
building In the heart of Hong
Kong has fallen in value from
HK3,000,000 to HK 2,000,000.
Businessmen hope that if the
blockade Is lifted, and the com
munist government succeeds in
reviving Chinese industries and
agriculture, they'll hit the jack
pot after all.

atom bomb to Russia another
scientist stepped into his shoes,
the Daily Mail said.
"The man carried on, although
in another sphere of research.
Russia's speedy completion of
work on the bomb led the services
to suspect a series of leakages."

Eisenhower, Fears
U.S. Bankruptcy
New York, March 6 IB Gen.
D w i g h t D. Eisenhower says
Americans should try to do more
about preventing "national bank
ruptcy" instead of worrying so
much about the hydrogen bomb.
"My counsel is not to be too
concerned about the H-bomb," the
wartime commander of allied
forces in Europe said last night.
"We can do something about"
the possibility of national bank
ruptcy," he said. ,
Eisenhower, now president of
Columbia university, spoke at a
meeting of the Lambs, a theat
rical society which installed him
as honorary member.
With the growth of rural elec
trification throughout' America,
rooms heated by ordinary stoves
are becoming more comfortable;
electric fans are used to distrib
ute the heat.
New Drug Found
Very Effective .
By Paul F. Ellis
(Unitt-d Pri'Wi Fcifnce Writer)
New York, March 6 'H Aureo.
myein, the golden-colored drug,
has scored again In the battle
against disease.
This time, the drug has been
found to have "definite benefit" in
the treatment of Infectious mo.
nonucleosis, a strange but not un
common disease.
' The new report comes from
Drs. Harold A. Lyons and Edward
M. Hard, of the U. S. naval hospi.
tal, St. Albans, N.Y., who tested
the drug on 18 persons. Twenty
five other patients were treated
without the drug. . '
Persons with the communicable
disease have high fever, a soifc
throat, generally swollen lymph
glands. It's a tough disease to
beat quickly.
The naval doctors, in a repot!
to the New York Academy of
Medicine, said that in the drug
treated patient group the disease
was terminated in less than 30
days in 72 per cent of the cases
as compared to 36 per cent in
the group not given the drug.
Kelleves Fever
Duration of the hospital stay
was comparable in the two
groups to the duration of the dis
ease, they reported. - ,
lhe drug also cut down the
high fever usually present. The
doctors said with aureomycin
treatment, 40 per cent of the pa
tients returned to normal tem
perature in 24 hours after treat
ment was started, and 70 per cent
within 72 hours.
The disease is difficult to diae.
nose because of the numerous
symptoms that resemble other
diseases. Its cause is unknown.
The disease also affects the blood,
but the doctors said that aureo.
mycin, although it brings benefit.
apparently does not influence the
mood.
Aureomycin is one of medical
scientists' newest drugs. It al.
ready has been found effective in
numerous bacteriaj diseases, and
has been helpfulin some types
of venereal disease.
