Macao.

Agreements described in my paragraph 1 were duly signed yesterday amid well-ordered demonstrations of enthusiasm controlled by Chinese Left Wing supporters. Text has not yet been released. Hong Kong Left Wing papers today acclaim signature as victory for the thoughts of Mao Tse-Tung.

Well-placed sources in Macao say that the present Governor will relinquish his post within the next fortnight.
