Repeated for information to POLAD Singapore, Washington and Canberra.

My immediately preceding telegram.
Comment in Communist newspapers on the "execution" of Lam Bun, the
Chinese radio commentator, and the publication of a "murder" list, which
was not, however, carried by the major Communist papers, indicate that a
campaign of personal attacks may be being planned. There is no
indication of the import of small arms, though there have been
unsubstantiated rumours in the past that guns are held in some of the
major CPG concerns. It is thought that some small arms would be
necessary if an effective assassination campaign of any size is to be
launched.
Commonwealth Office pass Priority Washington No. 282 and Canberra No.
