On each of the lists A, B and C aftached hereto

I have aureated for each person, by a reference to the

a-propriate section of the Deportation of Aliens Ordinance

1935, what I consider to be the appropriate method of

banishment, if such a step is decided upon and becomes

nece sary. It is perhaps useful to mention here that:-

Section 3(1)(b) provides for summary banishment of

an alien convicted in the Colony of any offence.

Section 3(1)(c) provides for um ary banishment,

A

in

any case not coming within section 3(1)(b), of any alien

where such banish ent is for the public good, but, as Hon.

A.G. says in his minute of 27.10.39 in C.S.0.4/1345/39,

any order made under section 3(1)(c) involves also the

making of a report forthwith to the Secretary of State.

Section 3(2) provides for banishment by what is

usually called "long procedure", and the steps to be

taken thereunder give the person against whom banishment

proceedings are taken an o portunity of knowing what is

alleged against him, and do not involve a report to the

Secretary of State. It will be noticed that I have suggested the use of section 3(2) in every case where the

person concerned has not actually been convicted of an

offence. I submit that there is enough evidence, at any

rate against the persons in List A, to enable the Govern or

in Council to decide to banish every one of them.

All the persons mentioned so far in this

memorandum are "anti-Tang Ching Wei".
