CONFIDENTIAL
IMPRISONED NEWSPAPER WORKERS.
THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASING TENDANCY ON THE PART OF THE PRESS TO REFER TO ALL THIRTEEN NEWSPAPER WORKERS STILL SERVING PRISON SENTENCES IN HONG KONG AS JOURNALISTS''. WE FEEL THAT IT WOULD DO NO HARM AND MIGHT DO SOME GOOD IF THE PRECISE OCCUPATIONS OF THESE PRISONERS WERE DISCREETLY MADE KNOWN TO THE PRESS. GRATEFUL THEREFORE IF YOU WOULD TELEGRAPH RELEVANT INFORMATION.
