1830: PROHONGAID LONDON FOUR: -
TODAY'S (MONDAY) STAR DEVOTES ONE INSIDE PAGE TO THE PAMPHLET. IT QUOTES DR. DENNY HUANG AT SOME LENGTH AS SAYING A BRITISH GOVERNMENT COMMISSION OF INQUIRY INTO CONDITIONS IN HONG KONG COULD BE THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS A REAL CHANCE OF SOCIAL AND POLITICAL REFORM HERE. IT REPORTS THE GOVERNMENT STATEMENT UNDER TGE HEADLINE +QUICK ANSWER FROM THE GOVERNMENT.+
THE STAR HEADLINES ITS EDITORIAL +DIRTY TRICK - OR JUST STUPIDITY?+, WHICH REFERS TO THE AMERICAN CIA AND GOES ON, +OF COURSE CIA AGENTS ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WHO GET UP TO THIS SORT OF DIRTY TRICK. SPLASHED ACROSS THE FRONT PAGES OF ALL OUR NEWSPAPERS AT THE WEEK END WAS ANOTHER EXAMPLE IN WHICH HONG KONG WAS USED TO DISCREDIT PEKING.+ THE EDITORIAL CONTINUES,
+ THE FACTS ARE IT WAS THE FAMILIAR SORT OF AMMUNITION RUSSIA USES IN ITS PROPAGANDA WAR AGAINST CHINA - AND IT SEEMS INCOMPREHENSIBLE THE FABIAN SOCIETY WOULD BE SUCH FOOLS THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WOULD BE THE EFFECT OF PUBLISHING JOE ENGLAND'S PAMPHLET+. THE EDITORIAL SAYS, +AT WORST, TO US THEY ARE DANGEROUS AGENTS OF A FOREIGN POWER AND AT LEAST, STUPID UNPRACTICAL MEDDLERS IN A SITUATION THEY ARE UNABLE FULLY TO APPRECIATE.+
