the facts nevertheless clearly show that
the revolt 10 affected by political con-
siderations. He quotes a member OF a
prominent commercial firm who was
formerly a Magistrate as saying that the
police are imbued with politics. They
are mostly Na~tionalists, while a number
Of them belong to the Sim Fem society.
Another correspondent reports that a
sergeant on duty said 10 him apropos Of
the arrival Of the troops:
IF they attempt to put soldiers in charge
of the police stations next Saturday we
will drive hem out. We have not given
up those yet" pointing to the rifles stacked

The same correspondent says he learns
there is a small minority Of professionals
