The number of bombs reached a climax on the 30/31st with 177 reports
and 44 true bombs, then declined to 44 reports with no true on the
31st/1st and 53 reports (5 true) on the 1st/2nd.
2. The Communist Press reported the bomb spate as a blow against Hong
Kong Week, which is described as an attempt to alienate Hong Kong
Chinese from their Socialist mother country. Right Wing and neutral
newspapers have refuted this argument, and see the success of Hong Kong
Week as further evidence of Hong Kong's recovery from its recent
troubles.
3. On 30th, Left-wing segmen made a brief demonstration at the Marine
Office against the bad reports given on discharge to three crew members
of the 'Antarctica'.

Sitrep for period 30800 to 020800.
My immediately preceding telegram.
Communist propaganda during Hong Kong week illustrates contradictions of
late they have accused Government of wrecking the economy, thus causing
unemployment; now they themselves seek to undermine endeavours to
increase the Colonies trade.
2. There have been continued meetings at Communist Unions condemning the
Hong Kong Government's 'Fascist Policy' causing mass unemployment and
urging support for the 'dollar campaign'. The funds raised are said to
be for all unemployed e workers, but this may well be a means by which
the struggle committee can replenish their funds.
3. In the Communist Press, emphasis continues to be given to the
'struggle' in the new territories. There have also been attempts to stir
up trouble in connection with squatter clearances and the resettlement
programme.
4. There are reports of a general rundown of stock piles of food and
medical supplies in Communist premises.
This, together with the current campaign to promote Chinese food- stuffs
suggests that they do not now envisage a prolonged disruption of
supplies from China.
5. On 31 October, Villa Verde radio repeated broadcast of ex-Supdt. John
Tsang urging defection of police.
6. The Heung To school demonstrations on the 1st mark another phase in
the students struggle, It appeared that these school children seemed
almost to be courting arrest. The increased appearance of students in
nuisance demon- strations may be aimed at providing more propaganda
material for the Communist Press during Hong Kong week.
They may
also be expected to derive 'maximum' propaganda advantage from their
appearance in court.
