ENCLOSURE NO. 3a.

Hon. Capt. Supt. of Police,

FRONTIER INCIDENTS.

The situation in general at Shataukok is becoming more unsettled, and there appears to be increasing apprehen- sion in the minds of these Chinese who are resident immediate

-ly on the border within British territory, due to increased activity on the part of the "Lung Man" and the dissemination by them of anti-British posters and propaganda.

The attitude of the "Lung Man" towards the police is one of scareely veiled hostility, and this, coupled with the results of anti-British propaganda, has affected the morale of the Chinese detectives at Shataukok to such a degree that they are unwilling to visit Shataukok or make

enquiries there.

Every day finds a fresh batch of enti-British placards in British Shatauk ok, and these are no sooner removed by police than fresh ones are posted.

Yesterday, being some sort of "Remembrance Day" in honour of certain "heroes" disposed of by wu Pei Fu, occasion was taken to hold an invetiture of the "Lung Miɛn" Corps recently formed at Shataukok. Part of the proceedings consisted of a procession of the "Lung Man" headed by ong Chun We, which paraded through Chinese Shataukok and along the boundary path. These happenings apparently had a disturbing effect on these Chinese who live on the British side of the path, as most of them kept their doors closed the whole day. The District Officer, North, who yesterday visited Shataukok, is forwarding a special report to the

Honourable Colonial Secretary.

Enclosed with this report are copies of posters found by police yesterday and this morning in British

Shataukok
