Britain to boost trade with Red China sparks U S concern
Washington officials voiced disappointment over Britain's move to deepen commerce with Communist China. The decision risks weakening allied trade controls against the Soviet Union and its allies, though the United States says it will not change current policy against direct trade with Communist China. The dispute traces to early 1956 discussions between Eisenhower and Eden over trade controls and a 160-item no trading list.
