monsters Mg or sull, facing such a situation are completely losing their
heads. They sweet, dance with rage and roar! What's the use of it? China
gives privilege to those secson who have friendly attitude or no bad
intentiona to visit our parts, but can never allow a handful of
reactionaries on individual stecher wantonly attack the proletarian
cultural revolution in our land, arouse serious anti-China pro vocation,
and more than that go further to insult our goat leader Chairman Mao
openly, which is absolutely intolerable to the 700 million Chinese
people. Their azo actiona have done least harm to the glory of the eat
thought of Meo Tre tung.
On the contrary, it further evidences the correctness and eatness of hao
Tse-tung the Marxist-Leninist of our
or a. Tuo
necec8ery treatment given to such a handful of persons by our department
concerned and revolutioary young fighter axed Guards in accordance with
the Chinese law is not debatable. Are these actions of ours are of
"foolish antice"? You, "kind-hearted" getlen, are just proving that you
are the biggest foola.
You have now participated into the rank of anti-China clowns and make a
fuss about the matter to slander the young revolutionary fighters- the
fed Guards, This action of yours is utterly intolerable!
-
It is also mentioned in your letter that there are workers in China
opposed to the Red Quards, which is a rumour and alander out and out Our
worker a and the Rad Guards follow most closely the teachings of our
great leader Chairman Mao and constantly unite together in carrying the
proletarim quìtural revolution thru to the and with resolution.
In view of your abusing our revolutionary young fighters, slander ing
the just struggle of our Hongkong patriotic compatriots, and attacking
our great Chinese Communist rarty as voll as socialist system, it
resulta in impossibility of business low. Therefore, we have taken the
necessary measure in refuting such an avil attitude of yours and inform
Muana, Aichard J. Kelly of it to that effect.

Dear Sir,
ccyléli
Wo are in receint of your lebter of 5th August in which
you acknowledged receipt of our letter of 17th July covering our Order
No. 11, Item No. 721 for various itens of tools.
In reply to our letter of 17th July we note you have also
receive? our Letter of Credit, No. 94/2571/2, established through the
National Bank of New Zealand Ltd.
As indicated in our letter, we provided in this Credit for
trans-shipment to Hong Kong for the reason that regular, direct sailing
to Auckland are available from that Port. We have now received your
letter in which you say that in no circumstances will you allow
trans-shipment to be made at Hong Kong, and the reason you give is to
protect the fascist violence of British Authorities in liong Kong and to
give fire support to the political struggle of our Hong Kong compatriots
in their grand strike against this violence, we shall, in no
circumstances, allow trans-shipment to be made at Hong Kong".
Frankly, as a Commercial House, we are surorised at you allowing a
political situation to enter into Trade and Commerce.
We have always held the view that Trade and Commerce
are above political considerations and that Trade transcends the powers
of Governments to control it. It is bigger than politics.
Our Company is constantly representing this point of view to our own
Government, who, for many years past, has re- stricted Imports by a
system of Import Licensing.
We, as
....2/
Importers, have suffered much in our freedom through the Trade
Restrictions of successful Governments. Practically all the goods we
handle are subjected to Import Licences and these are extremely
difficult to obtain. Our greatest difficulty is to give orders to all
the suppliers from whom we require goods.
We are very friendly disposed to your New Zealand Agent Mr.
Kelly and for that reason we are taking a lenient view of your attitude
in this matter. We would respectfully suggest that unter the Communist
Regime in China you are shown only one side of the picturc. The fact is
that in China you have not got freedom of the Precu. You have detained
British shios, italian ships and Russian shins. Your Red Guards have
painted Mao slogens all over the top sides of the ships, you have
arrested the Captains and crews of those vessels and detained the
vessels. We respectfully suggest that this is no way to win friends and
influence people throughout the world.
Trade and Commerce are the means whereby we live and whereby you live,
and without which no llation can survive.
The latest incident is reported in our newspaper this
morning and we enclose a cutting, showing that China had detained a
Russian ship and arrested the Captain and some members of the crew
because of their anti-Mao attitude.
If Communist China wants Trade, we would suggest that she
will have to drop these foolish antics of detaining vessels that call on
her Ports and arresting Officers and Crews who may or may not agree with
the political idiology at present dominant in China. But we would
suggest that many of your own people are in revolt against the existing
Regine, as indicated by the recent riots in Shanghai, Canton, Peking and
other parts of China where the workers have been opposed to the Red
Guards.
However, enough of Politics. We are business people and are concerned
only with Trade and Commerce and we are not one scrap interested in the
internal Politics of China, which please note.
After discussion with your Agent, Mr. Kelly, in which we took strong
exception to your comments, we have appreciated the fact that your goods
have been quoted to us on a C.1.F. basis, which means that you are
responsible for Freight and Insurance. In these circumstances, it is
only reasonable that we should leave to you the question of what route
or vessels by which the goods are shipped.
We have therefore instructed our Bank to allow trans- shipment at any
Port, but we would suggest that by eliminating
....3/
|
|
3
Hong Kong, through freights with trans-shipment at other ports may cause
you considerably more than trans-shipment via Hong Kong, from which Port
there are regular soiling to New Zealand.
Finally, we woul draw your attention to the fact that New
Zealand is a British Dominion and we have every faith that any action
taken by the British Authorities in Hong Kong will have been to put down
violence which was disturbing the péace and good order of that
community.
Will you please see that, otherwise, the terms of our Letter of Credit
are strictly adhered to.
We are,
Yours faithfully,

Would you please refer to Hong Kong telegram No. 1355 of the 7th
September on the subject of adverse publicity for Hong Kong.
The telegram in question was repeated to Wellington and we have
recently had a letter from our Mission there. The letter explains that
since the New Zealand Press Association have no representative in Hong
Kong the local press have leaned heavily on Reuter's representatives for
its stories: however, thatswater under the bridge. My reason for writing
to you now is to pass on a suggestion, contained in the same letter that
the Hong Kong Tourist Office in Sydney might be in a position to ensure
that more accurate reports on events in Hong Kong are available in that
part of the world. The idea is that this might be done as part of the
service that the Tourist Office provides in sending out information and
news letters to airline offices and travel agents.
However,
No doubt this sort of exercise is already being taken care of by
the Hong Kong Overseas Public Relations Co-ordination Committee. we have
told wellington that we would pass the suggestion on to you and this I
am now doing. Perhaps you would be good enough to see that it reaches
the proper quarter.

The publicity committee
The publicity committee was formed on my 16 under the c ship of the
Deputy Colonial Secretary. The committee'a fundamental were stated as
follows:
(a)
to strengthen the population's resolve;
(b)
to deflate opposition and show up their weak points;
(c)

to strengthen/restore the confidence in Hong Kong and its future of
people in Hong Kong and oversund.
From these fundamental aims were derived the lines for p information
work which have since guided the work of thu consil special publicity

been to leave concern for overseas publicity to s committee.
