Addressed to Tamsui No. 6 (S. of S. please pass).

Your telegram No. 6.

At present it would probably be right to say that the disturbances have been very localised and that visitors with real interests in Hong Kong would not be running a disproportionate risk in coming here.

2. There has been trouble in Kowloon Tong, but the situation there has been quiet now for two days.
