Mr James Callaghan, British Prime Minister.
6th April 1976.
Dear Sir,
Please accept our congratulations on your success in the election as the new British Prime Minister reflecting the esteem and support of the public. We trust that you will follow the example of the late Prime Minister Winston Churchill in furthering the British spirit, to save the country from imminent internal crises.
At present in Hong Kong there exists exploitation and suppression in various forms. The Government has stressed that it will maintain the status quo and better its relations with Peking but, conscientiously and morally speaking, Hong Kong cannot compare with the Portuguese colony of Macau as far as progress is concerned. The Government is cruel to the people and there are numerous colonial crimes. For the best interests and future of all the Hong Kong people, our Party reiterates that the internal governing power be up- held and returned step by step to the people and this will be honoured in history. At least the Government should not suppress people's rights and deprive the citizens of the opportunities to take part in the administration.
We would like to draw your attention, to the correspondence we have received from the Colonial Secretariat, File No. COU 1058/75, Secretary for Home Affairs, File No. HAIB 1156/4 and Secretary for the Environment, File No. ENV 68/75/9. This correspondence ill-treats our Party and suppresses the people, depriving them of their opinion and rights.
Sir, we earnestly hope that the British Government, under your leadership, will extend its benevolence far and wide.
CHIU But-yeuk
Chairman
