QUICK ACTION BY POLICE

Thanks to prompt action * the part of the Police, a meeting which might have had very serious! consequences was broken up and jover 80 people taken into cas- tody yesterday.

At about 8 pm. over 150 police, Indian, Chinese and Europeans under, Inspector Murphy and other C.I.D. officers, were drawn up in a cordon around premises at the junction of O'Brien Road and Gloucester Road. These pre Imises were occupied by a school! fand served as a meeting place: for a very large number of peo- ple including many students. It was stated that they were plan- ning a disturbance in connection with the fifth anniversary of the Manchurian conquest.

Grown-up Students

It was significant that the meet- ling should take place in a district| containing a large Japanese com- munity Many of the "students" taken into custody were found to be workmen and coolies, mostly of adult age, as well as school- boys.

While sifting out the mass of statements presented by an precedentedly large number of prisoners taken in any one coup, the police were not inclined to make an official communique, but it was known that in acting as quickly as they did they were just in the nick of time to prevent what might have had serious re- sults.

It was not known if any arms were found among those arrested.
