Communist activity in the Colony during the year did not manifest itself in an anti-British form and was directed almost entirely to the spread of anti-Japanese propaganda and to the support of the war against Japan.

67. A certain number of minor anti-Japanese incidents, such as stone throwing, incitements to boycott Japanese goods and posting up of slogans occurred during the year, but no serious demonstrations or disturbances took place.
