Whitehall Statement
NAVAL, MILITARY FORCES
DESPATCHED
Communists Threaten Colony's Security
LONDON, OCT. 6.
THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT ANNOUNced tonigHT THAT IT HAD BEEN NECESSARY TO SEND NAVAL AND MILITARY FORCES TO BRITISH GUIANA IN ORDER TO PRESERVE PEACE AND THE SAFETY OF ALL CLASSES.
A Colonial Office statement said it had be me evident that the intrigues of Communists and their assoc tes, some in Ministerial posts, threatened the welfare and good administra- tion of the Colony..
have planned a coup which, If attempled, must involve bloodshed. Hence the speedy despatch of British forcos to the scene, But apart from the threat to the peace and aecurity of British Gulana which the political extremists are holding out, the most deplorable aspect of current events in the Colony is the demand for the overthrow of constitu-) tional government. This comes Jul few months after the inhabitants have been granted a consider. uble measure of self. government, Including Parliament popular vote and the mujor party holding many of the principal ministerial posts. It was the People's Pro- gressive Party which won the first elections, and it is the same party which to day declares it does not possess suflicient constitu- tional powers. Their desired objective is perfectly clear. It is to obtain, by whatever available, absolute power. in order to create a Communist state. They are attempting to justify their scheme "by insisting that the Governor'a veto deprives them of rights, constitutional though in fact the veto has us not as yet beon applied. The complaints and allegations of the Leftists are with- out hay foundation.

Any reinforcements required would be sent from the United Kingdom.
The statement said the forces were being sent with "utmost dispatch."
The statement said if present "processes” in British Guiana were "to continue unchecked, an attempt might be made by methods which are familiar in some parts of the world to set up a Communist-dominated state. This would lead to bloodshed."

More Trade With
China Urged
British Envoy
By
Illogical To Starve HK And Feed E. Germany
Los Angeles, Oct. 6. › Britain's Ambassador to the United States, Sir Roger Makins, said last night that the more Western non-strategic trade was cut with China, the more would the Peking Government be forced to tie its economy to the Soviet Union.
"We do not want to drive Russia and China in to- gether, we want to force them apart," he said in a speech here.
"The more we cut off trade with the Chinese, the more we force them to tie their economy to that of Soviet Russia.
"
In the course of his speech the Ambassador mentioned Hongkang. He said the colony was like Berlin, which must import most of its food.”
“By what conceivable logic can it be shown that it is good policy to feed discontented Eastern Germany one side of the world and to starve contented Hongkong on the other?" he asked.
