British Malaya is expect- ed to account for 569,000 tons. The total area planted with rubber in British Malayzi is over 3,000,000 acres of which 8) per cent is on estates of over 100 acres. During 1935, the United States took 303.- 383 tons. Tin. pineapple, vegetable oils. pepper. rice, sago. tapicoa, rat- ians. are other products. The United States is British Malaya's best customer accounting for nearly half of the total exports of all kinds. Great Britain is next, fol- lowed by British Empire countries. the continent of Europe, Japan, the Dutch East Indies.

LONDON, May 7.—Interestlng re- ferences to the Canadian Corps in France and to its leaders appear in the second volume of "I-Iaig,” by Alfred Duff Cooper, secretary for war. published by Macmillan.
The first volume, it will be re- membered, which was published last YCM‘. PF0V0l<V3d. or rather reviv- ed, the controversy which ever since the Great War has revolved around the characters of soldiers, states- men and other men of prominence in that momentous period. The controversies, it is to be anticipa- ted. will arise afresh with the ap- pearance of thks-second and final
place to cheer in our old Regular- Army, except on the King's Birth- day. I rode on, and lnslieclk‘-<1 the 5th (Ross) and the 6th (Ketcheni Brigades, and also shook hands with
iLipsett) and of the 4th Division (Watson) and their stafl. The troops of the latter were in the line.
Praised Dominion‘: Troops
Hiiig goes on to mention meeting Tuxiord, Griesbach and Loomis. of his inspection of the 3rd Brigade he noted:
There are three kllted battalions in this brigade, all fine big men. The experience and training of the past year have done wonders for tile Cftlllldlilns. Their morale is now very high, and though‘ they have lmeii opposed by the flower of the
loci they can beat the Germans ei- ery time. I was with the smart turnout and the earnest determined look of all ranks. The officers and all ranks were, I think, honestly glad to see me. Two Canadian Divisions have knocked out seven German Divis- ions. of the enemy's 10$ of morale. That these two Canadian Divisions are now in such it fine state is due to having ample reserves to replace casualties, the result of sound or- gaiilzatlon.
To pass over for the moment nearly 200 pages of this ample and
August, 1918, some months after the
voiume. It carries the story of Haig‘s career from the close of the Bottle of the Somme to the end of his life. )4,‘ Writing of Easter Moifgy,
Ridge, Duff Cooper speaks of the morning being bitterly cold. “It was not until eight :1. m. that Halg re-
ceived a report that four Divisions. the troops “were about to begin the , advance that was to end on the ,
of Canadians and the VI Corps were doing well, mid that all first objec- tives hnci been gained. During this day and the following one the strongly defended Vlmy Ridge was captured by the Canadians, and Haig's wisdom in attacking it was fully demonstrated.
"This was one of the matters in which his judgment had diffema‘. from that of Nlvelle, who had be- lieved either that the Germans would evacuate Vimy Ridge of their own accord or. if they failed to do so, that it would prove impregnnble. Haig had been convinced it would be strongly held. but had not doub- ted his ability to capture it after proper preparations and ‘villi de- termined troops. The Germans proved his first supposition to be correct, and the Canadians justified his second."
Coming to preparations for the lll-starred and prolonged op:-miioiis of Passchondaeie and author qucies from Haig's diary concerning an in- spectlon of the Dominion Forces:
At Les Quatre Vents I was met by General Burstall. commzinding the 2nd Canadian Division. lllld George Black with the horses. A ride of about ten minutes brought us to where the «ith Canadian Brig- ade :Rennle) was drawn up. Gen- eral Currie, commanding Cniimiian Corps, met me here. He lips .<pi'1ing a tendon in his leg playing hrrimin- ton. and is very lame. Currie is a very big. tall, heavy man. He must have been in great pain but he stuck it all day. Big legs are neces- sary to support such a frame as Currie has. After inspecting the brigade the troops marched past me. reformed and gave three cheers. They asked me if I had any 013500- tion to the latter—"the_v wished to do it and cheering does us good."- so of course I agreed. though of course it would have been outaof
“with their backs to the wall." It is rather curious to note incident-
l916. ally that Halg made no mention in 1 when the Canadians captured Vlmy his personal diary of this historic V
order. On Aug. 7 King George and the French President lunched at Halg‘s headquarters, a day when
Rhine." Haig‘s diary notes the in- spcction he made in the afternoon. l
I went to Canadian headquarters at Dury and saw General Currie} The letter said it had “been a. hustle 3 to be ready in time but everything , had been got in except two long range guns." Last night was the critical moment. If the Germans I had bombarded the Canadian zone. , we could not have retaliated. To— .’ nigh; the situation is quite different and we are ready.
In that August, too, Haig visited the Canadian Cavalry Brigade:
I rode round most of the squad- rons, horse artillery batteries and machine guns. Fine. plucky fellows all, who don't know what fear is. Eighty per cent are Scotsman. One young fellow, born in Ed'lllbul‘l3h- now (3, major thy name Strachani got the V. C. at Cambrui; was be- fore the war ranching in Alberta. Most are from Winnipeg. ‘
Haig speaks of Clemenceau in- specting the 7th (Canadian) Brig- ade on the ground they had Won. "They looked splendid and the of- ficers looked up to their Work in every wiry."
In the month of September, when the British were still pushing ahead, the eomnirmder-in-chief again saw the Canadians at first-hand. when the 1st and 4th Divisions, with Bru- tinel's force of machine guns, arm- ored cars. cyclists, etc, were on the main Arras-Cambrai road. Haig writes:
The Canadian Corps had taken] prisoners from ten different Divis-I ions. Watson seemed disturbed by the losses he had had, but on on- quiry I found they did not amount: to many. I next saw General Mac- donell. He was in great spirits. His troops had taken villers-lez-Crigni- court without any difficulty. and were now on the spur north 9
