after several changes of distributors that we got the work done properly. Attempts were also made to spy on the work of those composing the propaganda literature, but these were very ineffective.

The difficulties raised by our enemy show the fear with which he regarded this new weapon of ours. The Canton Authori- ities and labour agitators took our propaganda so seriously that on one secasion they went to the trouble of answering our leaf- leta categorically in their labour paper in Canton - "The Path of the Labourers." This was in the issue of the 25th July, 1925. In the same issue they exposed our methods of working; but so far they have been unable to check the growing influence of our leaflets and other literature.

While the Chinese at the beginning of these troubles swallowed everything the agitators told them, they became more critical after a fortnight of our treatment. At first they

believed the most absurd lies about daily murders, intended

cutting off of the water supply to the Chinese, the assassina-

tion of the Governor by an Indian soldier, invasion of the New

Territories by 50,000 Chinese troeps, and wholesale incendiar-

iam to take place on a certain date. It is unnecessary to re- peat all the wild rumours which received full belief. When our propaganda was really under way, though two, if not three, political murders actually did take place, no one would believe the fact! This effect of our work is still continuing, and it has produced marked results not only in the Colony, but song Overseas Chinese. In Singapore a significant incident was re- ported by their Secretary for Chinese Affairs. One of our pamphlets was sent to a prominent Chinese, and it so impressed him that he had it reprinted in a Chinese paper, and the example was followed by the rest of the Chinese press, with a complete change of tone as a result.
