Washington, Feb. 14, Friday the 13th was a lucky day for Americans in China as far as congressional action on the China Trade Act amendments was conned, despite the dire calamity predicted for the bill by Congressman Blanton of Texas, one of its chief opponents.

Actually, no one knew few minutes before it came up for final consideration whether it would pats or be defeated—until Blaton of Texas arose in opposition. The "gentleman from Texas" is the most chronic kicker in the House. "He "This bill is class lei This bill seeks to exempt certain corporations from taxes. This bill discriminates against corporations that may be organized in Missouri, Pennsylvania, New York, Texas, ct any of the states. Why? To benefit a few biz corporations now doing business in China, The bill should be defeated."
