Speech #810278638

Mr. Speaker. on July 17 I called attention of the House to the report from Hong Kong that the British Asiatic Petroleum Co. was continuing sales of petroleum products to Chinese Communists and in fact were expanding sales to fill some of the gap left when two American companies. Socony and Caltex. quit doing business on the Chinese mainland. I now arise to call attention to the news report of July 18 to the effect that the British policy on oil sales to China had been reversed. It is my hope that this will continue to be the policy of the British and of the companies which are under the influence of the British Government.
