"(1) With regard to the present terroristic conditions and criminal movements, the major cause is that the S.M.C. and Police authorities allow the followers of Kuomintang and Communistic Party to stay in the Settlement to carry out their dangerous plots successfully. To stop such a movement, I request the S.M.C. and Police authorities to cooperate with this City Government in order to investigate the bad elements from house to house. In case, any certificates in Kuomintang or Communistic Party have been found, such persons holding or possessing such certificates should be expelled from the Settlement at once. In case any arms, weapons, or munitions are found, the holders of possessors should be heavily punished after proper inquiry. If the police are insufficient to cope with the situation this City Government will send our Own police to assist the Police authorities to secure peace and order and to check the devilish crimes.
