ART
The rate of bomb incidents has fluctuated in recent weeks.
During the past wock those incidents have continued on a reducod
scale but have been marked by the use of more powerful devices.
The comparative calm of the border area has continued and has been
broken only by one or two minor stoning incidents and by the
occasional planting of hoax and real bombs. The reduction in the
scale of terrorist activity may be related to the opening today of
the Canton Trade Fair, but nevertheless the Communist Press has
continued its virulent anti-British propaganda. Police action has
continued, mainly in connexion with the arrest of persons planting
boobs. There are no indications at present that the local Communists
intend to abandon their campaign of violence, but there are indications
that they ney become more selective in their choice of targets. Food
supplies from Chine have continued to enter Hong Kong at a satisfactory
lovol.
The above information may be given to the Canadian Prine
Minister.
Border Talks
All details of the current border talks with the Chinese frontier
officials are being kept secret for fear of prejudicing their outcome.
