No.9002
To:
His Excellency, the Governor
From:
Sir Mark Young
British Colony of Hong Kong HONG KONG
General Chang Fa-Kuei.
August 20th, 1946.
(1)
When Hong Kong was under Japanese occupation, traitor Shum Wai-Yau
was the Publisher of the puppet Vernacular Wah Kiu Daily. In this capacity
he acted in the interests of the enemy and denounced China and her allies.
(2) Although the vernacular Wah Kiu Daily was published in Hong Kong,
yet this Daily was distributed in large scale over a great part of Chinese
occupied (by the Japanese) territories, thereby instilling a lot of pro-
Japanese propaganda into the minds of the people. Besides, he established
an Office here in Canton to collect and distribute propaganda for his Daily.
For this crime, he has placed himself directly within the jurisdiction of
Chinese law.
(3)
In 1943, traitor Shum organized a Cultural Expedition of Japan.
On his return, he wrote all of his impressions in Japan were exceedingly
favourable.
(4)
In 1945, he came to Canton to pay personal calls on puppet Shu Mun-
Yee, the enemy and puppet liaison officers, and the figure-heads of the
Japanese military forces. While in Canton, he personally re-organized and
expanded the pro-Japanese cultural propaganda in Canton under the direction
of the puppet Wah Kui Daily.
(5)
Because all his crimes are hard and fast facts, he had violated
the 13th Clause of the First Section of the Second Provision of the Act for
Punishing Chinese Traitors. In the June of this year this Headquarters had
already issued Order No. Legal/1510 for his arrest, but he has as yet to be
apprehended.
(6) We have definite information that Traitor Shum Wai-Yau is now in
hiding in Hong Kong. I am now enclosing herewith an Investigation Form of
Acts of Chinese Traitors of the Prosecutor of the Kwangtung High Court of
Justice concerning this traitor Shum Wai Yau, evidences, and a snap-shot of
the traitor.
