Hongkong Quiet. Enquiries at Police Headquar- ters this morning showed that May Day passed off quietly in Hong- kong, where the local repercus- sions have been confined to the distribution of Commanist, litera- ture, and a few arrests made by the police.
In addition to the action taken the night before last, when one man was arrested at the Meichow Hotel and two others taken into custody at Yaumati and Mongkok, the large number of police officers detailed for special duty yester- day were able to counter effective- ly further "Red" activities in the of litera- form of dissemination ture. During yesterday twó sus- pects were taken into custody at Yaumati for enquiries. No papers were found on them, their arrest being merely as part of the gen eral pecautions that were rigidly enforced throughout the day,
In the evening, two other arrests were made in Bonham Road, the- prisoners being young Chinese who were caught scattering leaflets.
Cases arising from the activi- ties of the last few days were mentioned before Mr. Grantham at the Central Police Court this
