New Powers For The Police
GAZETTING
of the announcement that Regulation No. 99 of the Emergency (Principal) Regulations of 1949 has come into operation has been accompanied by an official explanation which goes some way toward quietening feelings of apprehension, but does not wholly allay them. It is well to know what Regulation 99 provides for. It allows "any authorised officer to enter premises, place, vehicle, vessel or air- craft at any time," if he has reason to suspect them of "being used, or having recently been used, for any purpose prejudicial to the public interest, or in which he may suspect that there is any article, goods, document or thing liable to seizure under the regulations," and that he may "search any premises, place, vehicle, vessel or aircraft and any person therein or leaving the
same.
It is a formidable regulation and one calling for considerable cir- cumspection in its application. The official explanation for invoking the regulation at this time endeavours to assure that it is designed aolely for assisting the Police in dealing with
increased armed crime and for tracking down caches of arms and other weaponsS intended for criminal use. The Police in their difficult and hazardous task of of combating the growing activities armed thugs and other desperadoes deserve every facility the law and the Administration can offer them. Yet we would have imagined that these powers, to be made available explicitly to Police Officers, could have been given effect by a special regulation without having to bring into operation one of the harshest of the Emergency Regula- tions. The Police, undoubtedly, are confronted with a particularly difficult problem, but it appears to be stretching the point somewhat to suggest their dilemma is equivalent · to a state of emergency; and Regulation 99, after all, was framed to help deal with an emergency and not a problem. We trust the public can remain reassured that the regulation will, at this time, be applied only for the purpose of aiding the Police in their fight with the Colony's dangerously criminal elements.
Deliberate Water Wastage THE Director of Public Works has
found it necessary to issue an appeal, coupled with Д threat, to residents in certain Peak areas and the Western districts about conservation of domestic water supplies. The DPW assumes that the reason why these residents are consuming as much, if not more water, than before the intro- duction of the restrictions in October is because · ̈ servants are storing away excess supplies for the periods when tap water is unavailable. This, we recall, was what the China Mail fore- cast would happen when the now restrictions were introduced. It is a natural thing for servants to do when they are aware there are long hours when ordinary tap supplies are non existent. Moreover, it would appear that: the same waste is being practised In
other parts of the Colony, for an overall 10 per cent reduction in consumption hardly seems commensurate with the extra restrictions, The Water Authority, however, is perfectly right in insisting that responsibility for water conservation in homes rests on householders, and if householders are not prepared to exercise control over the quantities of water which their the servants store away during off-supply hours, they have only themselves to blame if even more stringent restrictions are introduced The trouble about that is the Innocent are made to suffer with the guilty. With a wator crinin auch an the Colony faces today,, deliberate wastage deserves to rank as a criminal net, ponishable by law.

Fayid, Nov. 9. Egyptian "liberation battalions" plan launch tomorrow a new campaign against the Bri- tish in Egypt, a British intelligence officer here said today.
Leaflets had been found warning Egyptians "co-operating" with the British forces-labourers, shop-keepers and contractors-that by tomorrow they must break off all contact with them.
Recalcitrants would be subject to "public execution after a trial before a people's court", ac- cording to the terrorists.
Intelligence officers said that similar reports had been received from other sources.
The officers said that the new campaign might include sabotage, such as cutting_telephone cables.
The present sniping attacks on British Army vehicles might also be increased, particularly after dark, the officers thought.
