that morning in one area of Kowloon over 30 bombs were found, 22 leing
real, together with a large number of subversive posters.
2. Police have continued their raids on Left-wing premises and found a
number of inflammatory posters and home-made weapons. A prosecution has
Leen instituted against two Left-Wing cinemas for performances without.
a police permit.
3. At Lo u propaganda broadcasts continue. On the night 4/5 October some
inflammatory posters put up by farmers from Chinese territories on 1

Despite the call by the All Circles A.P.S.C. for revenge and the
incidents in Kowloon in the last 24 hours all the evidence indicates
that this does not mark a general resumption of violence, but an attempt
to compensate for the relative failure of 1 October celebrations. There
may also be a desire to disrupt Nationalist celebrations on 10 October.
The next few days should show whether this is a short term recrudescence
or another demonstration af independence by the militants.
34 illegal immigrants have been arrested in the last week. All came in
by sea.
