There was a time when many felt a good deal of apprehen- slon about events. Bome British officials showed them- ssivos in the early days no better equipped to deal with the emergency or to "under-

for a Hongkong diamond broker who failed to appear in court this morning. He was being tried on charges of stealing more than $400,000 worth of diamonds from Colony merchants.
In the District Court this morning, Judge P. R. Springall issued a bench warrant for the arrest of the man Yuen Chung-kwong-after waiting 36 minutes for him to appear.
He also estreated Yuen's bail of $50,000.
Reward offer
Later Police announced that a reward of $8,000 had been offered for information leading to the location of the
man.
Interpol-the International Police Organisation-will be automatically informed of Yuen's disappearance in due course, a Police spokesman said this afternoon.
Yuen, who was detained and brought back from Madrid to face trial, was entering the third week of his trial.
Judge Springall rejected an application by Yuen's Counsel, Mr Oswald Cheung, to put off seizing bail for a week.
Left home
Mr Cheung said Yuen was known to have left his home by taxi at 9 o'clock last night.
He suggested Yuen's, absence may not be voluntary and that something might have happened to him.
Chief Crown Counsel Mr Dermot Rea said that a Police search for the man was already underway.
Yuen was being tried on six charges of larceny and larceny by bailee.
The Crown alleges that he obtained the diamonds early in 1959 from a number of Hongkong merchants and never paid for them.
