It intends to strengthen the logistics for the war. All oppressed masses of Malaya, be united to oppose this Ordinance! Overthrow British Imperialist rule and establish a Worker-Peasant Democratic Government! 4 In this connection, C. F. Yong has referred to student demonstrations against this Ordinance in 1932 and 1933. 5 3. Shanghai SB Files (1) Arrest of three Annamite Communists On 5 January 1932, at the instance of French Police the local [Shanghai] Japanese Consular Police arrested three Annamite [Vietnamese] communists, on board the “Shanghai Maru” prior to its departure. According to French Interigence Report, they were Truong [more often spelled Troung] Van Lenh, Vuong Trach and Cao Duc Chinh. But Japanese report noted their names as Tsang Yuin Ling ( 张云领 ), Lee Mong San ( 李梦山 ,24) and Van Ts Kwong ( 范智光 ) [both orders are original]. 6 According to Sophie, Lai Teck was possibly a pseudonym of Truong Phuoc Dat alias Ly Minh Son. Truong (Ly) was arrested in Shanghai in April 1933. 7 Sophie also states that Truong Van Lenh was arrested in Shanghai in 1932. 8 Ly Minh Son was referred to by Yoji Akashi, too, as one of Lai Teck’s pseudonyms. Akashi also says Lai Teck was apprehended by the French secret police after the Manchurian Incident (September 1931) when he travelled back and forth between Tientsin and Shanghai. 9 If Lee Mong San was Ly Minh Son, it meant Lai Teck had earlier been arrested in January 1932 in Shanghai by the Japanese police. 10 (2) Aliens Registration Bill In SMPF, there is an extract, entitled “Malayan Communist Party”, from Straits Settlements Political Intelligence Journal for December 1932. It states; on 28 November, 4 and 11 December 80
1932, demonstrations against the Bill were arranged. Presence of police prevented trouble for the first two occasions. On the third occasion, demonstration materialised and 59 were arrested, large portion of whom were senior students of the Chinese High School, Bukit Timah Road. They commemorated the 5th anniversary of the Canton Uprising as well. On 12 December 1932, a serious riot occurred in Kulai, a small village in Johor. Some three hundred Chinese assembled. Two Police Constables were severely assaulted. Police killed two leaders and arrested a number of the Chinese. 11 II 1933 1. One file contained Chinese-language documents of the Draft Resolutions of the First Enlarged Plenum of the MCP. 12 This document was published on 5 April 1933 and a copy was submitted ( 交抄 ) on 25 August 1934. The file also contained the General Conclusion of the Second Enlarged Plenum of the MCP. It was written on 5 September 1933 and its copy was submitted on 26 August 1934. The draft resolutions pertained to the following matters: Political Issues Party Affairs Trade Union Movements Peasants Movements Soldiers Movements Anti-Imperialist Movements Nationalist Movements Youth Movements Women Movements Welfare Society Movements Party's Economic Problems Others The fact that these two MCP documents reached the Comintern only in late August 1934 suggested that it took a year for them to restore their communications. 81
