HONG KONG TELEGRAM NO. 1434 TO COMMONWEALTH OFFICE (D.T.D.)
-Z-
to mend this split and it may be significant that, since its publication, there has been a considerable drop in the number of bombs planted in the Urban areas. The absence of demonstrations on the return to the Colony of His Excellency The Governor may be a pointer that the moderates are regaining control of the situation. Nevertheless there is every indication that the Communists intend to persist in their policy of confrontation with the Hong Kong Government and it is probable that isolated acts of violence and small demonstrations will continue to be staged by groups of militants.
Foreign Office please pass Priority Washington as my
telegram No. 302 and Canberra as my 101.
