10. The disturbances in Kuangtung, actual and END threatened continue to increase the population of this
7
Colony. The number of tenement houses in the poorer portions of the Kowloon Peninsula reported wholly vacant (for rating purposes) has dropped from 196 in April, to 83 in August, and 78 in September, and there must have been a corresponding filling up of vacant floors and cubicles. During the two weeks ending 20th September, the through trains of the Kowloon-Canton Railway brought down 11,475 passengers,as against 8,980 taken out.

I enclose the following translations from the
Chinese Press.
(a) From the Kwok Kan San Man, Canton,of 15th September, containing a notice issued by the Anti-British Boycott Commission. Its high patriotic tone forms a curious contrast to the programme mentioned in paragraph
4 of this despatch.
(b) From the Yin Tseung Po, Canton, of 16th September 1927,setting out the plans of the Canton Government for paying off the so-called "Hong Kong
Strikers". In this connection reference is invited to
the statement of Mr, Feng Tso-wan regarding this organisation reported in the memorandum enclosed in my Special despatch of 20th September.
12. The Chinese characters for the names in this
despatch are given on a separate sheet.
Í have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
Governor, &c.
