FOLLOWING IS ITEM FROM WEEKLY SURVEY OF INTELLIGENCE DATED 26/10/67 YONG
KONG (SECRET)
1. DOME INCIDENT HAVE CONTINUED, BUT ON A REDUCED SCALE. THE ABSENCE OF
STREET DEHONSTRATIONS AND THE TEMPORARY UPSURGE 1 BOMB HICIDENTS
EDIATELY PRIOR TO LORD SHEPHERD'S DEPARTURE CH 21ST OCTOBER MAY INDICATE
AN INCREASING RELUCTANCE OF PILITANT GROUPS TO EXPOSE THEMSELVES TO
ARREST. WAVES OF VIOLENCE CAN HOWEVER BE EXPECTED WHENEVER THERE IS A
CONFLICT WITH THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT ON PARTICULAR ISSUES WHICH CAN BE
REPRESENTED BY THE LOCAL COMMUNISTS AS JUSTIFYING VIOLENT ACTION. THIS
WOULD APPLY ESPECIALLY TO ISSUES WHICH COULD BE INTERPRETED AS
AFFRONTING THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT AND WHICH COULD BE EXPLOITED AS A
PRETEXT FOR INVOLVING CHINA'S NATIONAL PRIDE IN THE LOCAL STRUGGLE.
2 7. ANTI-BRITISH PROPAGANDA HAS CONTINUED IN THE COMMUNIST PRESS. THERE
WAS A PARTICULARLY STRONG REACTION TO THE ACTION OF THE HONG KONG
AUTHORITIES IN RAIDING A COMMUNIST CONTROLLED SCHOOL AFTER ONE OF ITS
STUDENTS HAD BEEN BADLY WOUNDED BY A BOMB THAT HE HAD HIMSELF PLANTED.
THE GENERAL TREND OF THE COMMUNIST PRESS SUGGESTS THAT INDUSTRIAL AND
SOCIAL GRIEVANCES MAY BE MADE THE BROAD THEME OF ASITATION IN THE
IMMEDIATE FUTURE.
3. THE BRITISH INSPECTOR OF POLICE ABDUCTED ON 14TH OCTOBER IS STILL
REPORTED TO BE HELD AT THE PUBLIC SECURITY DUREAU AT CHUN ON THE CHINESE
SIDE OF THE BORDER. ALTHOUGH THE BORDER HAS REMAINED COMPARATIVELY
QUIST, THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT HAVE PROTESTED AT THE CLOSING OF THE MAN
KAM TO BRIDGE (CLOSED FOLLOWING THE INSPECTOR'S ABDUCTION) AND LOCAL
BROADCASTS HAVE THREATENED VIOLENT ACTION IF THE BRIDGE REMAINS CLOSED.

HONG KONG TO COMMONWEALTH OFFICE (D.T.D.)
Telno. 1584 25 October, 1967.
UNCLASSIFIED
Addressed to Commonwealth Office telegram No. 1584
of 25 October.
Repeated for information to POLAD Singapore, Washington and
Canberra.
Sitrep for period 200800 to 250800:
my telegram 1560. There has been a marked decrease in the number of real
bombs. From 17 to 24 on 20th and 21st October, the daily number dropped
to three. There have been no casualties. Twelve arrests were made in
connexion with bomb planting. Police are continuing raids against
selected premises and schools.
2. The border has remained generally quiet. At Man Kam To there has been
occasional stoning of the barrier, minor demonstra- tions and broadcasts
demanding inter alia reopening of bridge.
3. Food supplies continue to arrive in good quantities, mainly by rail,
where the number of freight wagons crossing is now about 75% of normal.
4. On 23 October, Fai Yi Man, Managing Director of the Ta Kung Pao
called a Press conference to which representatives of the local Press
and selected foreign correspondents were invited. The Communist Press of
24 October reported Fai's statement in which he catalogued the
Government's offences against the Communists.
Foreign Office please pass Priority to POLAD Singapore 411, Washington
336 and Canberra 124.

Addressed to C.0, telegram No. 1585 of 25 October. Repeated for

My immediately preceding telegram.
Washington
This
The number of real bombs on 20 and 21 October followed by the very
limited daily number thereafter did not achieve the spectacular
'send-off' for Lord Shepherd as predicted in the Communist Press. poor
response may be attributed to low morale amongst the militant groups and
the effect of continuing arrests.
2. The general trend in the Press during this period suggests that a
wider-based campaign supporting industrial and social grievances may be
adopted for the immediate future. This is a reversion to the line
initiated during the 1 October celebrations.
3. In the morning Communist Press of 25th prominence is given to a joint
statement of the anti persecution Struggle Committees of the new
territories made on 24 October denouncing the Hong Kong Government for
suppression and persecution of compatriots. It contains six 'fighting
slogans' and 'twenty five principles of the anti British struggle' (my
telegram No. 1580 refers). This may be the prelude to more disruptive
HWBY/T
attention being paid by the Communists to the New Territories in general
and the Border Area in particular.
Foreign Office please pass Priority Washington No. 337 and Canberra No.
