Distribution:-

Your telegram No.768.

Disturbances,

We agree that courses outlined in paragraph 4 of

your telegram under reference are not so severe as

deportation and are open to less criticism. But, on the assessments of CPG involvement in Peking telegram No.626` to Foreign Office and your telegram No.776, we judge it would be wiser to avoid action against their "officials"

in the NCNA, Bank of China and China Resources

Company if at all possible, since this would make it the more difficult for them to disengage from a policy of

all-out confrontation.

As for Hong

Kong telegram No.

768.

Copies to:-

On the other hand, we appreciate that officials

of the NCNA and Bank have been in the forefront of the

anti-Government propaganda campaign which must be effectively countered if the confidence of the ordinary

people of Hong Kong is to be retained.
