to receive applications and to place men. An attempt to enforce a four hour stoppage in the Kowloon slaughterhouse by preventing the delivery of live stock from China from the lairages achieved only minimal delay. The Communists are continuing in their attempts to gain a dominating position in the various markets.
4. 20 July.
There were four bomb incidents, including one in a lavatory in Kai Tak, and one incendiary attack in Kowloon. One person was slightly hurt, the lavatory and a meat van damaged. Except for two cases of rubbish fires there was no mob violence. Intermittent stoning continued at Low Wu and spread to Man Kam To. 16 people have been detained as a result of five police raids on Communist premises and to arrest wanted men.
50 During the last week the bodies of nine more men killed in recent clashes have been buried under Government arrangements without exciting major comment.

The Kai Tak incident may be the first move in an attempt to step up terrorism in order to offset the loss of morale which has resulted from recent police raids and arrests. So far, the bombs used have been crude and rather ineffective. The harassment of immigration and police officials has been stepped up and could lead to a nasty incident which could easily get out of hand.
