SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1981

(1) CITY DISTRICT OFFICES AND DISTRICT BOARDS WERE ENCOURAGING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF DISTRICT NEWSPAPERS IN ALL DISTRICTS-

(2) GOVERNMENT WOULD, WHENEVER POSSIBLE, PROVIDE

NOTICE BOARDS ON WHICH CANDIDATES COULD DISPLAY THE PARTICULARS- AND

(3)

GOVERNMENT WAS THINKING OF RUNNING PUBLIC MEETINGS IN WHICH ALTERNATIVE CANDIDATES COULD ADD THE IR VIEWS AND CANVASS FOR VOTES.

HOWEVER, IN THE END, IT WOULD BE UP TO THE CANDIDATES AND IT SEEMED LIKELY THAT IN THE ABSENCE OF ACTIVE POLITICAL PARTIES THEY WOULD HAVE TO ESTABLISH A POLITICAL BASE WITHIN ESTABLISHED SOCIAL ORGANISATIONS, SUCH AS CHURCHES, KAIFONGS AND VOLUNTARY AGENCIES, MR BARNES SAID.

IT WOULD ALSO BE IMPORTANT TO SECURE ASSISTANCE OF THE MUTUAL AID COMMITTEES, AS IN MANY BUILDINGS THESE WERE THE NEXT INFLUENTIAL ORGANISATIONS AVAILABLE, HE ADDED.
