MACAO ,REFUSES UNLOADING OF ILLEGA"L OIL -- Hong Kong Hsing-tao Jih-pao, 17 Sep 50
Hong Kong -s Since the Hong Kong government has imposed a ban on export-
ing o11 from Hong Kong to Communist China, some Hong Kong merchants are pur-
chasing oil in the Philippine Islands and trying to send it through Macao. The
first, the Philippine ship North Pole, carrying 800 drums of such oil arrived
in Macao a few days ago. The ship has a loading capacity of about 170 tons.
When she arrived in Macao, however, the port authorities refused to let the oil
be unloaded, so she headed for Hong Kohg, When the ship arrived in $ong Kong,
the Hong Kong government refused to let her enter the port area because she did
not have proper approval. It was learned later that the ship is?now anchored
outside the Hong Kong port area, and is planning to return to the Philippine is-
lands as soon as the food and water supply is replenished.
