YOUR TELNO 587: LEGCO ELECTIONS: USE OF LOGOS

1.

THANK YOU FOR THIS INFORMATION. OUR TELEGRAM DID NOT PERHAPS MAKE SUFFICIENTLY CLEAR THAT PETER WONG'S CONCERN WAS ABOUT THE UNWILLINGNESS OF THE HONG KONG AUTHORITIES TO PERMIT THE PRINTING OF PARTY LOGOS ON THE BALLOT PAPER AGAINST A CANDIDATE'S NAME, IF HE SO WISHES. HIS POINT WAS THAT THE THREE MAIN PARTIES HAVE ''DEMOCRATS' IN THEIR NAMES AND IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO HAVE SOMETHING SIMPLE AND CLEAR TO DISTINGUISH THEM.
