truth and distorting facts of which they are well aware, they are heading for isolation, downfall and self-destruction which are not matters of public interest. Where they are

ally concerned about their morale and public image, they should prove their sincerity

eradicating graft in their own force instead of persecuting victims reporting on their malpractices and graft.

It is clear that in the absence of conspiracy on the part of the Chinese police detectives attached to the CID Headquarters, the Commercial Crime Office, the General Investigation Office and Divisional CID, the .criminals in question could not have been operating in Hong Kong on such a large scale without let and hindrance for such a long time past, the simple fact being that there are over 100 of such swindle rackets in existence on both sides of the harbour, and not just a few. By the way, the premises of the Yuen Foong Lung swindle racket situated at 126 Wing Lok St. 2nd. Fl. Flat A, Hong Kong, had been, regularly and incidentally, visited by police and their agents, but what for?

It is ironical that a policeman who paid $600,000 as "gift" for his promotion had been repeatedly awarded medals and commendations for his "meritorious services".

If I could forsee that His Excellency The Governor, on the advice of the Executive Council, was going to appoint an independent Anti-Corruption Commission to eradicate graft, I would not have furnished the ACB all those confidential information about crimes, corruption, protection racketeering and the like, which were made known to the racketeers and suspects; I would rather wait until the independent Anti-Corruption Commission becomes fully opera- tive.

Corruption is so serious in the force that agents for popular brands of imported wines in Hong Kong have to pay certain racketeers for carrying out raids on premises making adul- terated wines which, as everybody knows, can cause gradual blindness and death in human beings; if they have no remuneration for their "actions", they would turn a blind-eye to the illegal activities of and accept protection money from the forgers.

The balloon has broken and I have woken up to the hoax that has been plotted to make a fool of me.

To clean up all these mess, please do something to remedy the situation from the angle of the laws of a civilised country or the moral standards of civilised peoples.

Thanking you,

Informant and Victim

to meet me on the entrance of the Colonial Secretariat in your presence at 10.00A.M. on 22nd Dec. 1973 so that we can go together to see the Secretary for Security for authentication of my British Passport No. 98270 which Mr Ross G. Penlington had scrutinized when I met him in the Attorney General's Chambers on 17th Aug. 1973. As soon as its authentication has been established,

should "depart" from Hong Kong "surreptiously" under "special arrangments" as "missing" policeman Peter Godber had done with his 4.3 millions of unexplained wealth after large sums of cash and records of the names and addresses of illegal places(X) covering the districts of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and N.T. were found in his car.

(X) and vice rackets

Enclosures. 1. A cutting of an advertisement constantly appearing in the South China Morning Post

soliciting assistance from members of the public to stamp out corruption. I responded to this appeal but the abovenamed "investigating officers" tried to find fault with and to smear me instead of probing crimes and corruption.

2. A cutting from a local Chinese newspaper carrying a report about 'Lo Chin Kuk' or 'Tin Sin Kuk' swindle in which an aged woman returning from Singapore had been defrauded of the moneys which she had saved for her own funeral expenses. A complaint was lodged with the Mongkok Police Station but there had been no subsequent reports in the press that the criminals had been arrested and brought to justice.
