NONA Reporter, Hsueh Ping.
It would be legally possible to remit sentence and to deport and
we gave consideration to this before trial. Despite his pro-Communist
attitude and NCNA employment it is, however, possible that he would
refuse to go to China - - even if the Chinese Government are willing to
accept him. Having once released him we should be obliged, I think, to
detain him pending deportation. If this happened Chinese would certainly
accuse us having engineered his refusal.
2. Police inform us that, though he claims to be single, there is a
woman who says she is his wife and that they have children. This may
complicate issue.
る。
If other NCNA reporters are also convicted (my
telegram No. 1089) there might be some advantage in trying to
get rid of the lot at the same time, but this would mean dealy till
early August.

Your telegram No.1506.
With regard to draft reply I would suggest the following
revised first paragraph:-
MU!
"Yes. There is a satisfactory stock of rice in Hong Kong and the bulk of
supplies of this staple food come from sources other than China. Though
the majority of supplies of a number of other essential food stuffs such
as pigs, eggs, etc. come from China, local supplies and other overseas
sources also contribute to meeting local demand. The temporary stoppage
of food supplies from China which was organised by the local communist
leadership at the end of June therefore caused some disruption but since
then supplies from China have been more or less normal. If further
stoppages of supplies occur and Hong Kong can no longer rely as it has
done for some years on supplies of traditional food from China then it
will be necessary to turn to other sources in order to secure a regular
supply of all essential foodstuffs. Measures to bring forward
alternative supplies are under examination."
2. Re the second paragraph.
I would suggest for
12 months read 3 months, we cannot expect much rain during the winter,
and shall therefore not be able to maintain present supply from our own
resources unless we have adequate storage at the beginning of the dry
season. See enclosure to 1 to my savingram No.1334.
