HONG KONG TELEGRAM NO. 1434 TO COMMONWEALTH OFFICE (D.T.D.)
-Z-

The absence of demonstrations on the return to the Colony of His Excellency The Governor may be a pointer that the moderates are regaining control of the situation.

Foreign Office please pass Priority Washington as my
telegram No. 302 and Canberra as my 101.
