ORDEAL IN SUN
U.K. Consul In Macao
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter —Copy right J HONG KONG, May 26. The British Consul in Macao, Mr Norman lons, was made to stand for Seven hours in burning sun on Wednesday by young Left-wingers shouting anti-British slogans, the “South China Morning Post” reported. “By noon, Mr lons was looking as red as a boiled lobster, sunburned and exhausted from standing in the open without any shade,” the newspaper said. Groups of Left-wing students, with banners flying, marched to the consulate to resume their harassment of the consul and his staff after two days’ respite. One of the groups insisted that Mr lons shout “Down with British Imperialism,” but he refused to do so. The consul was quoted as saying that during his openair ordeal he was not even allowed to go to the toilet.
