Affaire in Canton, who were in the Colony at the time, personally interceded for it and its editors; and that the man who was in

reality in supreme charge of the paper (one Chan Chau-lam) was on the 15th July appointed to be the Commissioner of the

Goverment Supervisory Bureau, and also given another important

post under the notorious Lino Chung-kai. It may be interesting

to add that this man was assassinated in Canton together with

Liao Chung-kai some time in August.

At the commencement of the Strike the agitators had it all their own way, because we were quite unprepared to meet their propaganda and intimidation. Men were posted at every strategic point in the Colony at street corners, on the Praya while beats were loading and unloading, on steamers and wharves, in the markets and at the stopping-places of trame, to induce peo- ple to strike or to leave the Colony. As an illustration of their slusiveness, and the impunity with which they worked at first, they went into offices and dockyards to distribute free passage-tickets to Canton; and not a single man was caught, though they must have distributed something like 25,000 tickets.

Resulting Exodus.

In addition to the strikers and members of their families, large numbers of the ordinary residents, particularly women and children of the middle class, left the Colony for Canton and Vacao, as a result of wild and lying rumours spread by our enemy. It has been estimated that between the 19th Junt and the middle of July about 250,000 Chinese (including strikers) went away. From about the end of July these people began to dribble back, mostly via Macao, and it is believed that 50,000 to 60,000 of them have returned. But for the strict surveillance exercised by the strike-pickets at Canton and elsewhere in South China a considerably larger number would have come back. As a matter of
