COL. OFFICE Telegram from the Governor of Hongkong to the Secretary
of State for the Colonies. Dated 28th April 1927.
(Received Colonial Office 2.14 p.m. 28th April 1927)
As a result of
My telegram of April 14th Trade situation
anti-communist coup all interference with cargo from
Hongkong has ceased in Canton for the present. Goods stored
since June 1925 have passed into consumption and native dealers wholesale and retail are optimistic.
Swato Martial law for anti-communist purposes has interfered with cargo workmen but closure of extremist labour unions will no doubt have same satisfactory
results as in Canton for a time.
Hankow. Business with Hongkong impossible while banks remain closed. I must caution you however against undue optimism. Even if communists are unable to come back
nationalist programme still includes destruction of
imperialism of which trade penetration is supposed to be the chief weapon.
Unnumbered telegram of 27th April.
