1. FEER ARTICLE IS A SHORT PIECE IN THE **INTELLIGENCE** COLUMN. IT STATES THAT **INFORMED SOURCES CLOSE TO RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS IN PEKING HAVE BEEN TOLD **THAT CHINA HAS DECIDED TO **CLARIFY ITS INTENTIONS ABOUT HONG KONG'S FUTURE BY 1983. THIS WOULD
BE DONE TO PRE-EMPT A POSSIBLE SHIFT IN BRITISH POLICY ON
HONG KONG UNDER A LABOUR GOVERNMENT.
2. WE ARE INCLINED TO DISMISS THIS REPORT AS JOURNALISTIC
SPECULATION. WE DO NOT KNOW WHO THE 'INFORMED SOURCES** MIGHT BE, AND WE HAVE HEARD OF NO SUCH CHINESE DEADLINE.
