5. THE NEW EVENING POST (COMMUNIST) SAID THAT THE PROPER SUBJECT OF THE TALKS IN PEKING WAS THE MAINTENANCE OF HONG KONG'S STABILITY AND PROSPERITY. SINCE PROSPERITY DID NOT DEPEND ON BRITISH RULE, THE BRITISH SIDE SHOULD NOT BE RAISING IN THE TALKS ISSUES SUCH AS AN EXTENSION OF THE LEASE, TRUSTEESHIP OR ''CHINESE SOVEREIGNTY AND BRITISH ADMINISTRATION''.
