Communist China - Hong Kong: The Hong Kong
Government is taking stronger actions against Commu-
nist-led disorders in the colony.
Yesterday, the government banned all unauthorized
public processions and meetings in an effort to prevent
further clashes between demonstrators and police. The
Communists probably will defy the ban and attempt to
continue demonstrations. A Communist newspaper has
called on its readers to refuse to obey "imperial laws. "
The police used gas and truncheons to disperse
mobs attempting to demonstrate yesterday at the gov-
ernor's residence in an effort to counter the growing
Communist unrest. Several serious injuries resulted
from the police action. The casualties, especially if
any deaths result, are certain to add fuel to Communist
charges of police brutality.
A conflict of interest may be developing in local
Communist circles between the political radical ele-
ments and those with commercial interests. Some lo-
cal Communist businessmen appear anxious to avoid
severe disruptions to the colony's economic life. The
British presumably hope that these groups will soon
regain influence over the activists.
Peking, in its latest move to maintain pressure on
the British, announced yesterday that it had ordered
the closure of the British representative's office in
Shanghai. The representative will join the British Em-
bassy in Peking. The office, which was sacked by ri-
oters on 16 May, had been limited to one man since
September 1965,

India: New Delhi is becoming increasingly con-
cerned over the public security situation in West Ben-
gal.
Deputy Prime Minister Morarji Desai fears that
Communist members of the West Bengal government--
the largest element in the 13-party coalition--are de-
termined to create a revolutionary situation. Desai re-
cently told Ambassador Bowles that the central govern-
ment would intervene to prevent this, but only when the
onus could clearly be placed on the Communists.
A premature move by the central government or.
by the local Congress Party organization could precip-
itate large- scale violence, especially in Calcutta, be-
cause the United Front (UF) government is popular and
the Congress Party still discredited. The developing
food crisis could rapidly reduce the popularity of the
UF, however, unless it succeeds in placing the blame
on New Delhi.
