U. S. Moves To - Hamper Trade With Redtlhina

By JOHN M. HIGIITOWER

WASHINGTON, Dec. Z3 —-(APl — The United States Government lflday throw up a new barrier in the WHY of seaborne trade between the United States and Communist China.

The Statc Department made pub- lic a warning that any American skipper who takes his vowel into the "hazardous" waters of Shang- hal.may have his licence sus-

-pended or revoked. This was the

most drastic step yet taken by the

Government to re-inforce the Chinese Nationalist eliiort to blockade Shanghai —- s blockade

which the United States does not officially regard as legal.

At the same time, on another angle of the continuing Chineoe Communist conflict. a State De- partment official declared that China's Nationalist Government. now set-tied down in the island of Formosa. can purchase weapons here with its own money anytime it wants to. That is long establish- ed American policy. he said.

Unemployment“ O Not Pronounced in This Area

Although 1lll(’l'tll)i0_\"n1€llt figures have increased throughout the Dominion. and have reached a fin: higher total than one year ago. the rate of increase in the Char- lottetown area. has not been so pronounced actortlini: to officials of the National Employ-merit Of- fice. Charlottetown. Tho rate of in- crease in the Cil£i1'iOti(‘tii\\'l1 area, which includes all of Kings and (Queens Counties. is about. 15 per cent higher than one year ago. The men now idle are seasonal workers. usually employed in con- struction work; men from the yvat- er front, and many who nave been engaged in fish plants at various fishing centres.

The National ‘Employment. Office points out. that these lay-offs are unavoidable. because our industries are seasonal, rialmely. agriculture and fishing. All other activities in the Province stetm from these two itidustries and when they close downi. as they must in Winter time.

many connecting pursuits must have layoffs. The local office was unable to

state whether unemployment fig- ures ivould reach a higher total than inst yiear. The peak oi sen- sonal unemployment was reached last year iii February, and the lltllllli)?!‘ of utiemployed has not yet rent-lied it's expected total It can be said by way of comparison. that the Charlottetown urea aip- pears to be better off than most of tile towns and cities in Nova Scola and New Brunswick.
