ADDRESSED TO FOREIGN OFFICE TEL NO 1078 OF 21 JULY REPTD FOR INFM HONG KONG AND SAVING TO STUTTGART.
A STUTTGART TRAVEL AGENCY HAS RECEIVED A LEAFLET FROM THE QUOTE CHINA INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP ASSOCIATION UNQUOTE, POST- MARKED HONG KONG, ADVISING PROSPECTIVE TOURISTS TO POSTPONE THEIR TRIP TO HONG KONG UNTIL THE ANTI-BRITISH STRUGGLE IS WON, SINCE THE BRITISH ARE LOSING THEIR HEADS, THE SITUATION IS OUT OF CONTROL AND ANYONE MAY BE KILLED BY A STRAY BULLET.
2. NORMAL GERMAN PRESS AND TELEVISION COVERAGE OF THE SITUATION IN HONG KONG IS OBJECTIVE, SENSIBLE AND ACCURATE, AND I DO NOT THINK ANY REMEDIAL ACTION IS CALLED FOR LOCALLY TO COUNTER THE LEAFLET. BUT YOU MAY HAVE EVIDENCE OF A MORE WIDESPREAD CAMPAIGN
WARRANTING SOME ATTENTION.
FO PASS HONGKONG 49.
