AT ANY STAGE DID THE YAU MA TEI PROTESTERS, OR THEIR SUPPORTERS. MAKE ANY MOVE TO GET THESE PUBLIC DEMONSTRATIONS LICENSED? NO, THEY DID NOT.
THESE FACTS DO NOT INDICATE THAT THE LAW IS EPRESSIVE OR IS BEING USED REPRESSIVELY BUT THE REVERSE. DEFIANCE OF THE LAW MAY BE A SURE WAY OF ATTRACTING PUBLICITY AND YOUR READERS MAY WELL HAVE SOME SYMPATHY FOR SUCH AN EXPEDIENT IF, IN DESPERATION, PEOPLE RESORT TO ILLEGAL ACTION WHEN LAWFUL MEANS HAVE BEEN TRIED. IN THIS CASE, THEY WERE NOT TRIED.
IF LIMITS MUST BE SET TO AUTHORITY, AS WE ALL AGREE, SO ALSO MUST LIMITS BE SET IN PRACTICE TO THE TOLERANCE OF UNAUTHORISED ACTION. YOUR CORRESPONDENT IS OVERLOOKING THOSE PEOPLE IN HONG KONG (MANY WITH PROBLEMS AS STRONGLY FELT AS THOSE OF THE YAU MA TEI BOAT-DELLERS) ..HO HAVE SHOWN THAT THEY ARE PREPARED TO OBSERVE LAWS DESIGNED TO SAFEGUARD THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.j+ INFORMS HONGKONG== REUTER
