Chicago Demonstration
We spoke last Thursday about the demonstration to be staged outside this
Consulate-General on Friday, 6 August by Chinese students in Mid-West
American Universities. Notice was given in a letter of 3 August from one
S. S. Lin, a copy of which is attached. Before the event, we took the
routine precaution of advising the Chicago Police as to what was to take
place. However, the organisers had already informed the police as to
where and when they intended to demonstrate and to ask for their
co-operation.
2.
Things tuned ont peacefully on the day. About 50 young Chinese gathered
at the Picasso sculpture in front of the Civic Centre, in line of sight
fren my window, at about 12:30 pm.
After
a few speeches, those attending the meeting paired off and shuffled off
in a 'crocodile' for a few turns around the Civic Centre Plaza . Some
carried boards bearing slogans "Crash (sic) the British" was one of the
messages and others were chanted. Leaflets were handed out to passers-by
(a copy of one is attached) but the local populace took little interest
in the proceedings.
3.
Before the demonstration, I had agreed with the police lieute- nant
assigned to keep an eye on the event to receive representatives
Three young of the demonstrators in my office if they so desired. men
eventually appeared and Ken Syrett and I chatted to them on predictable
lines for 15 minutes or so. (One of the visitors claimed Hong Kong as
his homeland, one said that he came from Taivan and the third from the
Chinese mainland. All had been at American Univer- sities for several
years). As one would expect, they tried to persuade us to express
sympathy with their cause. I singly undertook, without further comment,
to pass to the British Embassy in Washington the letter which I had
received the previous day. Before leaving, they pressed me quite hard as
to when they could expect a reply. I
..
r
indicated that this was entirely a matter for the Embassy to deal wi.th.
4. In addition to what is set cut in their letter, they wished te to
emphasise to "the Dritish Government" that the "Chinese peoples" would
not stand for "British Police Brutality" or for a situation in which
"the population of Hong Kong was deprived of the basic freedoms known in
Britain." Their principal concern in relation to this last point
appeared to be existence and use of laws against assembly. The most
unpleasant of the visitors asked me to specifically warn my government
that "the safety of British people in Hong Kong was at stake." On
leaving, one of the group left with me the enclosed Chinese language
newspaper which, I am told, reports what happened on 7 July.
(Incidentally, as the trio got up to leave, I noticed that their
principal spokesman, a Mr. Tsai, was holding beneath a sort of cover and
other paraphernalia what looked suspiciously like a small tape recorder.
Whether or not he had recorded our discussion, I simply cannot say, and
I chose not to go into the matter). The group went back to the Civic
Centre Plaza presumably to report to the rest of the demon- strators
what had transpired in the Consulate-General. Their mecting broke up at
about 2:15 pm.
5. Just as there was little public interest in the demonstration, so
there was little press or radio interest. Two stations sent reporters to
see me. One of these, representing the local CBS station, left with me a
copy of a letter to the Governor of Hong Kong which had been sent to CBS
by the organisers together with a hand-out entitled "British Brutality
in Hong Kong". Copies of these are also enclosed.
6. We would be very glad to know in due course what reply, if any, is
sent to the various letters which are now passed to you or,
alternatively, what line should be taken in reply to further
questioning. I dare say the organisers will begin pestering us for some
sort of response within a few weeks.

Thank you for your letter 825/3/1 of 20 August enclosing copies of
correspondence from posts in Toronto and Vancouver about protests from
Chinese over the Tiao Yu Tai or Senkaku Islands issue. I enclose a copy
of a letter I have sent to John Boyd in Washington. I am sorry that we
failed to send you even the rather limited information we sent to him. I
now enclose for background information a copy of the Special Branch
paper sent earlier to Washington and a copy of our telegram No. 465 to

SENKAKU ISLANDS (TIAO YU TAI)
I refer to your letter 4/11 of 13 August to Gaminara about the numerous
representations made to consular posts throughout the United States over
the Senkaku Islands. We have not kept you very fully informed about
these student demonstrations but I hope that the lack of information has
not proved a disadvantage to the consular offices concerned. Apart from
the Hong Kong telegram No. 465 to FCO of 8 July to which you made
reference, we also sent you a paper prepared by Special Branch
describing the connections between dissident students and others in Hong
Kong and Chinese students in North America under cover of my letter of
24 June to Michael Laird. In that letter I mentioned that Special Branch
were preparing a larger study of the "New Left" in Hong Kong. They did
complete their study but we judged that it was not a useful document to
distribute outside Hong Kong. We now have a Working Party which is
examining this problem but it is unlikely that we shall produce anything
suitable for distribution outside Hong Kong before the end of the year.

If we are to keep you fully informed about the progress of
student demonstrations on this issue we shall

have to burden you with a great deal of information. of it, I fear,
would have to be sent by telegram since it is obvious that the Chinese
students in North America receive speedy directives or advice from their
friends here. We vill certainly send you a telegram if we have troubles
which are likely to put the consular posts into difficulty. But I think
it would not be very useful to try to keep the consular officers fully
briefed about the peculiar and complicated development of events in Hong
Kong. They will always be at a disadvantage compared with the Chinese
students in North America who are fully avare of the significance of
such Hong Kong institutions as Victoria Park, the Urban Council, the
City Hall, Statue Square etc. We have no objection at all

if consular officers accept communications from student or other groups
and undertake to transmit them to the Ilong Kong Government. It would be
as vel1 to avoid promising that the Hong Kong Government will take any
action as a result! Our policy has in Fact been to ignore (and thus not
to answer) letters of protest which made vild allegations and base
peremptory demands on them.

Communication No. 2133
Hongkong, 14 September 1971
Dear Sir,
We invite your attention to the situation in Hongkong as the UN Charter,
Declarations and Resolutions are being outrageously abused by the U.K.
Govern ment and its colonial régime. At the moment a trial is taking
place concerning Freedom of Expression; 21 people who invoked their
right to freedom of assembly, peaceful demonstration, etc as contained
in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and
sect. 7 of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial
Countries
and Territories. The following has been served here, and we request that
it be
recorded in the U.N.;
I,Tamerlane, having witnessed the events concerning H. N. Whiteley
in Victoria Park on 7 July 1971, do hereby claim the right of a
"citizen's arrest" on H. N. Whiteley for acts of "crimes against
humanity" according to U. N. Declarations and Resolutions, which have
been compounded by H. N. Whiteley's conduct during the peaceful
demonstration
held at Victoria Park on 7 July.
Served: 10 Sept., 1971
Copy to magistrate Governor notified in July.
H.N. Whiteley was the Superintendent of Colonial police in charge
of the events on 7 July. An investigation was called for by the people
(a Journalist's Assc.) and petitions forwarded to Governor but all
declined.
In a speech I gave in July at the Hyde Park Forum (which has to
obtain a license to function) at the City Hall, I accused Mr. Whiteley
of "ihhuman treatment and bru- tality with malice towards members of the
public carrying out a peaceful demonstration in Victoria Park a public
park. Mr. Whiteley's conduct, as an individual, went above and beyond
the enforcement of law & order. Such a murderous manner as he dis-
played was not conducive to the keeping of the peace. His personal baton
charges and indiscriminate use of same leaves much to be desired in a
police officer of his rank in these circumstances. A full investigation
at the highest levels of Authority is demanded to prevent it ever
recurring again."
The rights, natural, legitimate and morally belonging to the
peoples of Hongkong, have been abused far too long. The repressive
nature of this colonial régime is made obvious to all who wish to live
here. The U.K. Govt's policy in this regard is one of "colonial
apartheid"; the rights on trial here are protected by the rule of law in
the U.K. - re Taio Yu Tai demo in London.
Mis communication was addressed to the Trusteeship Council and
transmitted to the
Secretariat.
/...
I
Ar
1.
- 2.
It is requested that the UK. & its colonial régime be condemend
for "repressing the peoples increasingly active awareness for the
liberation of their human rights". (a similar condemnation was made
regarding Portugal)
We also call upon the Trusteeship Council to have its presence in
Hongkong to investigate the "crimes of colonialism" through a Colonial
Crimes Commission and
to make its decision enforceable on the U.K.
In the meantime we will continue "to struggle by all necessary means
against repressive colonial Power", although the peoples of Hongkong
stand alone.
Yours democratically,
(Signed) Tamerlane R.
Hon. Asst. Sect. U.N.A. (HK)
A question has also arisen over the legitimacy of the colonial courts
since colonialism is a crime/illegal?
