There is a parallel for such reasoning for Canadians in the pseudo-conservatism of Mr. Coldwell and his followers in the anemic utterances which emerged from the recent CCF conference in Vancouver. It would be unfortunate if Mr. Coldwell and other advocates of a planned economy were to achieve an undue measure of poll- tical respectability merely because circum- stances beyond their control dictate the wisdom of doctrinalre socialism going tem- porarily underground.

Up until now the great worry has been to keep the railways operating at all. Be- fore very long, however, there will be the almost perennial problem of obtaining ade- quate numbers of refrigerator and other cars to move our produce to market.

Why are the Communists making such desperate attempts to seize power in Malaya? The answer is- "Rubber and Tin". Malaya. for its size. is one of the richest countries in the world. It supplies one-third of all the world's natural rubber, a key material of war, and one-half of all the world's tin. Moreover, if the Communists could gain control of Malaya they would neutralise singapore.Brltain's powerful naval and air base at the southern tip
