"There is little doubt that these raids, in which military participation has been confined to cordon dutics, have made the Communist leadership and rank and file. extremely nervous and the morale of the Communists, which had been revived following the Sha Tau Kok incident, and, what they
considered to be the successful hit-and-run
tactics on the streets, has now fallen sharply.
The Police action has also demonstrated to
the general public that government is not afraid to enter communist premises and
intends to do everything necessary to maintain
law and order."
Personally I am convinced that the Hong Kong Government have played their hand with just the
right mixture of firmness and conciliation; and I
think that the extract from the telegram indicating
their intentions, quoted above, shows that the fears expressed by Marshal Maguire were not well-
founded.
