AFTER TAKING DOWN MESSAGE IN
MY IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING TELEGRAM MR TAM KON OF THE N.C.N.A. COMMENTED THAT HE
COULD NOT ACCEPT THIS VERSION OF THE INCIDENTS. THE HONG KONG POLICE HAD BEEN
ADOPTING AN ANTAGONISTIC ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE VILLAGE PEOPLE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE BORDER. ILLUSTRATING THIS CONTENTION, MR TAM SAID THAT HE HAD BEEN TOLD OF
AN INCIDENT IN WHICH A POLICE LAUNCH PICKED UP 'ESCAPEES' FROM CHINA OUT OF THE
WATER AND TOOK THEM TO HONG KONG. THIS WAS GOING 'TOO FAR'.
