Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Macao Territory - Hong Kong’s Neighbour. DESCRIPTION: The oldest foreign colony in the Far East, Macao, is also very much in the news, for it is on the coast right opposite Hong Kong and is equally threatened by the Communists. During the war, Macao was never occupied by the Japanese and great work was done there, caring for refugees. The Japanese war lords had respected Portuguese sovereignty but would the Chinese Reds do the same? SHOTLIST: KS. Pan Macao. GV ditto. Elevated GV ditto. MS Gateway as you enter Macao.
