BRIEF MANIFESTO 1972

INTRODUCTION: The Party is established at 4.2.1965 which we consider attemps to justify when colonial govt, ha- bitually steamrolles Hongkong legislation/execution where no elected legislators/senators represent 5-6 millions people dictatorship and depriven to instead for long time. In Hongkong the laws grind the poor and the rich men rule the law. A minority of vested interests that have in no way represented the people/materialistic public they claim to. They use the name of the people, it is true, but only to protect their own “sphere of influence” – like jealous vultures. It is obvious that colonialism and democracy can never be deemed compatible in any senses during the past. Colonialism (C.S./G.S./Chief Secretary = more Hypocrite) inconsistency with democratic principles only proves its worthlessness and should be discarded now. Violent demonstrations must be avoided as well as possible to us to fight for the bright future to Hongkong and its people.

AIMS OF THE PARTY: In accordance with good spirits of UN Charter, Decision of De-Colonialism of United Nations, Declaration of Universal Human Rights, Int'l. Laws and the British Policy etc. that both are tally with modern time and tide for de-colonialism in anyways also as well as the Queen Elizabeth II's speeches before which emphasized as “We'll be allowing and aiding self-determination areas and people's choice colonies to their final requests for self-government or independence which to ending the colonialism” thus we are strongly to be requesting the "Internal Self-Government” for Hongkong right now for betterment and constitutional reform to eradicate the serious evils in our community with a more hopeful future for Hongkong and it's people. (Formally requests already made to Queen E-II, Prime Minister and the HK. Governor on 1.1.1973 but long silent till now?!)

TOWARD CIVIC RIGHTS (TEMPORARILY STAGE): Problems must be dealt with by the local people, but the means to solves the problems are denied to 5-6 millions people/silent majority plus the hugh but heavily depriven and oppression from the colonialism evils with nonsenses here nowaday so only the more and active civic-rights compaigns can save us during present situation with crisises existed: this what is the Party's “FOR PEOPLE COMMISSION” done for mate- rialistic public now. The "FOR PEOPLE COMMISSION” works mainly involves helping people with various problems, such as resite, rehousing, compensation, living-on protection, welfare advancement, civic-rights expressing .... especially ranging from those hut/cottage areas, hawker areas, fisherman areas.... and the outdated lower courts which lead to gross injustices within the impropriety and oppressiveness of criminal investigation and prosecution systems which already ruined many other innocent people before and after. We do our best to help them through civic-rights forms but under “struggle for existence" as understood so fair-play is appreciated.

TOWARD SELF-GOVERNMENT: (INDIRECT/DIRECT ELECTIONS;

-

PAID PART/FULL TIME

SERVICES): The Party is a strong advocate of “INTERNAL SELF-GOVERNMENT” in Hongkong as it is the only way to co-operate. What must be done now which has been wilfully neglected over the years – is to educate or join the people to the benefits of self-government. There is no other course open to us, obviously that applications we made to get units at most R/Es. and resite areas for welfare advancement even for public opinion surveys or seats for suffrage/franchise which both received refusals to instead, save that of either taking a retrograde step by enforcing colonialism still further trenching? or taking the path of violent demonstrations to achieve the means to implement self-government. There are those, however, that are convinced that direct action rather that education and peaceful reform is the way to change our community better – like the liberal and democratic ones a place to belong with better living!

LDP-HK GENERAL: Organisation at a glance with shadow-cabinet as shown in the chart attached. Membership up to 1976 is 1,200 approx. and the fixed platforms will be enlarging as soon as possible within the branches established (more donation means more civic-rights) as most of members is Chinese and they have to involved for China Unity basically so the party forces to such tendency as well too. Overseas fraternity/relationship and international friendship now are exchanged. The political future is bright and fine!
