COMMENT OF
THE DAY
PREPAREDNESS
T
THE Hongkong Authorities are to be commended for their vigorous prosecution of triad societies in recent weeks and for demon strating that this year they i will not be caught att- prepared in the event of a repetition of last October's riots. The lessons are best conveyed by the kind of exercise that took place throughout the Colony to day. Demonstrations such as those in the Police com- į pound in Kowloon, while perhaps beneficial to the Force, lack real impact on the public.
