Addressed to Commonwealth Office telegram No.1538 of 17 October. Repeated for information to POLAD Singapore, Washington and Canberra.
Sitrep for period 140800 to 170800.
My immediately preceding telegram.
The level of violence decreased somewhat during 16 October. This may be the result of the effect of continued arrests and injuries of those involved in bomb incidents and demonstrations but it is too early to be certain. Police action against the Communist middle school on the same day may serve as deterrent to the deployment of students in bomb planting and demonstrations.
However it seems unlikely that there will be any marked reduction in these incidents until Lord Shepherd has departed.
Please pass Washington 324 and B.H.C. Canberra 118.
Sir D. Trench
[Repeated as requested]
