Addressed to Commonwealth Office telegram No. 1517 of 11 October
Repeated for information to POLAD Singapore, Washington and Canberra
Situation Report for period 060800 to 110800.
My immediately preceding telegram.
The increase in bomb incidents during the period preceding 10th October is believed to have been intended to cause as much tension as possible for the Nationalist celebrations and the police raids were designed to counter these and other measures that may have been contemplated by the militant Communists. The wide coverage given in the Communist Press on 9th and 10th to the Peking protest is also considered to have been timed for the same disruptive reasons. However there were no significant incidents and the K.M.T. supporters acted throughout as if they intended to avoid trouble.
Foreign Office please pass Priority Washington as my telegram No. 316 and Canberra as my 113.
