Communist Nations Increasing Trade With South Africa Despite Troubles
Bv NEIL J. SMITH
JOHANNESBURG, South Af
rica (UPI) Despite the wide
ly proclaimed bovcott against
South Africa, the Afro-Asian and
Communist nations are doing
more trade with this country
than ever before.
South Africa is building up
profitable two-way trade with
countries including Red China
which are among its greatest
international enemies.
Nations of the Afro-Aian and
Communist blocs bought more
than $19.6 million worth of South
African goods in the first four
months of 1963. according to
figures released here. In return
South Africa bought from them
' more than $35 million worth of
goods, ranging from heavy ma
chinery to glassware and from
tea and coffee to lace.
The hostile nations all sub
scribe publicly to the internation
al movement to boycott South
Africa economically, expel it
from world bodies and close
their skies to South African
planes because of the govern
ment's apartheid policy of ra
cial separation.
, Imports Increase
, Yet their imports from South
( Africa increased by $4.48 mil
lion or 16 per cent, in the first
third of 1963. Their export to
j South Africa dropped slightly,
' but only because Pakistani-
South African trade fell by more
than half. For the rest of the
hostile bloc sales to South Africa
business. Peking bought nothing
! surge of Red Chinese-South Af
I rican trade has come at a time
! when Russia has broken off
I trade relations with this Repub-
lie. Two way trade between
South Africa and the U.S.S.R.
1 totalled $14 million in I960. It
was zero in 1962.
Other Communist states also
are increasing trade ties with
South Africa. Polish imports
! from South Africa increased 17
' per cent to $1.24 million during
the January-April. 196.1. period
while Czech imports increased
more than 60 per cent to 5:13,
'600. At the same time Czech
exports to South Africa rose by
I some 30 per cent to more than
$1.4 million.
General! speaking South Afri
ca's exports to other African
states have dropped and today
only two black-ruled territories
; The Congo and Kenya buy
i significant quantities of South
' African products. But South Af
rica, at least for the present, is
still increasing its purchases
1 from various black states.
Significant Increases
In the first four months of
13 imports from The Congo
: ($9.45 million), Tanganyika i$2.
j 24 million) and Kenya ($1.4 mil
lion) all registered significant
; increases.
The major reason for this is
I simply that it pays South Africa
to buy badly-needed raw ma
terials in nearby African states
i rather than in distant untapped
markets. The government's pol-
icy has always been to encour
age merchants to buy in the best
available markets, and to main
! tain a scrupulously correct atti-
tude toward its trading part
I ners. regardless of their politi
cal attitudes toward South Afri
ca If the "hostile" bloc were to
cut all trade ties with the re-
public, it would cost the country
more to buy these imports else-
' where. But the net result likely
I would stimulate South African
' production.
trom South Africa during 1962,
but in the first four months of
1963 purchased $3.88 million
worth of South African food
stuffs, and the tempo of trade
is increasing.
Hong Kong, where South Afri
ca will shortly establish a trade
commissioner's office, bought
another $3.25 million worth of
goods, much undoubtedly destin
ed for the Chinese mainiand.
China Imports L'p
At the same time South Afri
can imports from Communist
China increased from $266,000 in
1962 to $1.48 million in the first
third of this year.
It is significant that this up-

chairman of the group and editor-in-chief
of the Hearst news
papers. were up by more than 20 per
cent.
The strangest of South Afri
ca's new trading partners is
Communist China, which
! preaches against whites to the
newly independent black states.

Teller Tripped
By Own Mistake
DETROIT (UPI) - John G.
Adams, a bank teller, made one
mistake in his switching
scheme which netted him more
than 52,000 in the last 15
months.
Adams, 29, switched pennies
for dimes and nickels for quar
ters in money bags kept in the
vault of a branch of the Na
tional Bank of Detroit.
He told Federal Bureau of
Investigation agents that he had
been pulling his switching act
since August, 1962 and his mis
take was made when he forgot
which bags he was switching.
His mistake was compounded
when he handed another teller
a bag which was supposed to
contain $500 in dimes but which
had only 545 in pennies.
Adams said he kept the
weights of the bags within four
pounds of their true weights in
case bank examiners became
suspicious.
Adams pleaded guilty
Wednesday to the charge of em
bezzlement before federal
Judge Wade H. McCree, Jr. He
was released on 51.000 personal
bond for a report from the pro
bation department. If found
guilty, Adams could receive
five years in prison and a
55,000 fine.
