PRESSURE GROUPS

23.

Robert Archer, a contact of Walter Easey of the London based London Fesearch Project, recently visited Hong Kong and was in touch with local pressure groups. He claimed to be a member of the Catholic Institute of International Relations (of which nothing is known at present) and voiced particular interest in The Lease and citizenship questions. He has since left but plans to return for further research with a view to producing a paper to be published in the UK. Some of those with whom he was in contact are said to have found his ideas extrene.
