as follows:-
Mr. Wolfe and Members of the Hong Kong Police Force:- con
on another year of gratulate you good work. The Colony has been fortunate in escaping any serious disturbances during the year, the worst crime being an individual case of murder, robbery and kid- napping by an armed band near Fanling. Although there has been a slight increase in the actual aum- her of cases dealt with by the Bilce, very few could be regarded as serious crimes, and the year generally will be regarded as a peaceful one. In the annals of the Police. For this satisfactory racord the Colony owes much to the quiet and effective work of the Police Force under the able guidance of the Inspector General and his officers.
There was evidence during the year that the menace of Communism still required the most careful atten tion, and I congratulate the Force on the success which attended its efforts in this important branch of Police work It is essential that no efforts : be spared to check the activities those disruptive dele
