Shawcross
We would've thought not, we're very careful of course not to supply Russia with any of the so called strategic goods. We've complied with all the requirements of the United Nations Additional Measures Committee about not supplying strategic goods and, in fact, we've gone a good deal further and we feel that on balance the advantage is greater to us than it is the communist group. Of course we've got to trade, we've got to import, for instance, half our food stuff and in order to buy those we've got to sell our goods to markets which are willing to receive them. The more difficult it is to sell them here, the more inevitable it is that we should try and find markets for non-strategic things elsewhere.
