I am requested to send the following telegram. Begins.
British Unofficial Kembers of Council and Committee of the Chamber of Commerce emphatically point out that a most serious state of affairs which is likely to recur arose in the recent strike owing to intimidation of workers organised from Canton, with the sympathy of Sum Yat Sen and other officials of his Government, which caused a general stoppage of work and paralysed the business of the Colony.
-
Local police were totally unable to cope with intimidation since assuming that the Chinese Police did their beat they could obtain no information owing to refusal of persons intimidated to say anything. Bolshevic propaganda continues. We consider that drastic refom of the Police Intelligence Service and an increase of the European contingent are necessary, and that the military forces at present in the Colony are insufficient to cope with probable emergencies.
we advise, for the urgent consideration of the British Government, that strong pressure should be exer- cised by joint powers for the immediate unification of China without which diplomatic pressure cannot be effect- ively brought to bear on the lawless elements now jeopardising foreign relations.
We entirely approve of the emergency legislation the Hongkong Government has taken so far to deal with the
situation.
Ends.
