QUESTION

ANSWERS

What are the Comuniste re:lly after in Hong Kongi.

So far as the local Communists are concerned, their actions coem to be
inspired by the current revolutionary atmosphere in China. Their
reaction has taken the form of a challenge to established authority.
There is no indication that their on-paign has boon directod from
mainland China, although they havo, of course, received considerable
propaganda support and encouragement from

the mainland.

QUESTION

GUISTICT:

QUESTION

ANSWER

Pe you consider Chineso militaw intervention likely?

There is no evidence of any such intention, rather the reverse in fact.
There are indications that the Chinese Army has been trying to control
incursions into flong Kong territory by civilians across the bordor.

What are yous slows on labour conditions in Hong Kong?

I am maro of the criticisms that have beon mado on this

subject. I am equally aware that favourable comparisons

can be draw with other countries in the aroa. We must

bear in mind the economic position of the Colony; EBLAUTOS to improve
conditions are being pressed forverd as fast as

circumstances parit.

Have you say proposals in mind fox constitutional advanco An Hong Kong?

No. As former Ministors of this Department have said, it is not possible
to think of nerual self-government for

Colony.

Foreign Office telegram No. 821 to Peking: H.K. Transit Visas.

We too would not favour a complete freeze on transit visas through Hong
Kong at the moment. But we would see little objection to imposing
indefinite administrative delays on particular parties sponsored by the
C.P.G., (e.g. those travelling to Japan) if this were eventually thought
necessary.

2. However, the procedure proposed in the first sentence of paragraph 2
of your telegram under reference would also be perfectly convenient to
us, subject to one reservation. It is not our practice to grant entry
visas to C.P.G. visitors in transit to Japan until the Japanese
themselves have authorised entry visas. The applications in IMMA 101
(which reached us only on 15 September) are still being processed and
there is as yet no sign of Japanese authorisations. We shall inform you
as soon as these are received and shall then await your instructions. In
general, we would not recommend any liberalisation in our visa procedure
over C.P.G. cases of this sort.

3.

If the line is to be taken that delays have been due to administrative
problems concerning the Mission in Peking, it might be wise to ensure as
far as possible that a significant part of any delay occurs within the
office at Peking. The Chinese will know when telegrams are sent by the
office to us since they go by commercial channels.

4.

Please repeat to Peking as necessary.
