There has also been a certain amount of general information regarding
A.
Government clerks. Japanese policy has been, with the aid of the Police, to place Chinese clerks and technicians in their formal positions. In many places they recruited clerks formerly employed in military or Government offices for questioning either on specific points or general questions, and in most cases offered them work either for the period necessary to complete a special task or on a permanent basis. The Rev.nue Office already opened in Windsor House at the end of March with a Japanese senior staff (mainly naval) and twelve Chinese clerks, most of whom served in the same capacity under the Colonial Government.

The number of Chinese police employed by the Japs is estimated at about 2,000 - about 75 per cent. of whom were members of the old force. The Hong Kong area is controlled by Inspector Wong Kin and Sergeant Major Yu Muk, both of whom had over 20 years service in the uniform force and a good record. In Kowloon the No. 1 is Tsoy Yukow, a member of the detective force, but the Chinese Commissioner of Police there is apparently a Tse Fu Ngau, who was a herbal doctor with a practice in Nathan Road.

Khan, said to be late of the Medical Department, and one Alik, a resident of Hong Kong. There was, however, according to the account of a Mr. Mogra, who escaped from Hong Kong taisenment, jealousy among the Indians and the Sindhi Association,
