IMMEDIATE HONG KONG TO COMMONWEALTH OFFICE (D.T.D.)
Telno 1561
CONFIDENTIAL.
20 October 1967
Addressed to Commonwealth Office telegram No. 1561 of 20 October
And to POLAD Singapore, Washington and Canberra
Sitrep for period 170800 to 200800.
My immediately preceding telegram.
The approach of typhoon 'Carla' which was nearest Hong Kong during 19 October without doubt contributed to the reduced activity of the Communists during this period. On the other hand this lull may be a gathering of momentum for activity to bid Lord Shepherd farewell.

The Communist Press has strongly criticised the raid on the Chung Wah Middle School (my telegram 1537 paragraph 8
refers) and there have been subsequent indications in
Communist schcol circles that they fear future Government
action against them.

We believe that Inspector Knight is still in Shum Chun.
Foreign Office please pass to Washington 329 and
Canberra 121,
Sir D. Trench
