1. THE LEGCO ADJOURNMENT DEBATE OF WHICH UNOFFICIALS HAVE GIVEN NOTICE (PARAGRAPH 1 OF TUR) WILL OF COURSE BE MOST
UNWELCOME TO THE CHINESE. THEMIMING (IT WILL OVERLAP WITH THE 15TH ROUND) IS UNHELPFUL. WE SHOULD WLECOME AS MUCH DETAIL AS POSSIBLE ABOUT THIS POTENTIAL DEBATE, EG THE LIKELIHOOD OF IT TAKING PLACEN THE TERMS OF A MOTION IF ONE HAS BEEN PUT DOWN, WHO WOULD INTRODUCE IT AND WHO ELSE MIGHT SPEAK,
2. KMT INVOLVEMENT IN THE UMELCO CAMPAIGN IS ALSO UNFORTUNATE.
IT IS NOT CLEAR FROM TUR WHETHER IT IS THE ON-GOING PUBLIC
DEBATE OR THE PROPOSED ADJOURNNEMT DEBATE IN LEGCO
WITH WHICH THE LOCAL KMT ARE SEEKING TO
ASSOCIATE THESELVES.
WE HAVE ONLY THE FORMER.
