to be unanimous in our movement to get back Hong Kong and to

overthrow British Imperialism. We must work hard in co-

operation with the Hong Kong representatives".

Then Wong Kam Yuen said "Now you representatives

have all realised that we must press forward and fight

vigorously in our revolutionary enterprise, and are very

willing to lead the van. When we have Hong Kong in a death grip, the work done by the Hong Kong workmen will be greater

which we have welcomed you representatives to-day. We should cry out loudly - "Let the Hong Kong workmen rise in a body:

done during the strike, such as their success in connection. with economics, politics and education and the brave work of the pickets, in order that all the Hong Kong representatives would understand the position and preach it to the workmen
