These reflections, tending to the conclusion that no application of Malayan methods to India can even be possible, have no bearing on Burma, which is indeed a country which far more closely resembles Malaya than India. The con- nection with India is merely a fortuitous political one which could easily be dissolved at any time by Parliament, and it may be re- called that from 1815 to 1807 the Straits Settlements were under 'the Government of India.
The ever increasing prosperity of Malaya has been attributed primarily to the fact that it is a young country still in process of being opened up. Burma is also a young country but unfortunately it is only being opened up very slowly. This is due partly to the fact that Burma's capital ex- penditure every year is controlled by the Government of India, which has to maintain some sort of balance between the expenditure fn, say, Muras, which is alrendy to a large extent developed, and Burma, the resources of which are hardly touched. It is also partly due to the large proportion of Burma's revenues which are paid to the Government of India. It must, moreover, be frankly admitted that the personnel of the Indian conservative policy, and the whole machinery of Government under the India Office times itself to keep pace with spontaneous development rather than to press the country, forward.
Burma again resembles Malaya; in having a amall Indigenous population more conspicuous for personal charm than for attach- ment to hard work, but like Ma-! laya it can attract unlimited quantities of Tamils from South India by the higher, wages which are there offered,
Burma's Products Finally, Burma would seem to have, unlike India, special pro- ducts which suggests that the pro- sperity of Malaya need not bel regarded as unattainable. Tin and rubber are the two pillars upon which reats the prosperity of Ma- Jaya. Oil should surely be to Burma what tin is to the F.M.S. if excise in Burma did not go to the Government of India, and rice might well take the place of rubber, if the export duty on rice were paid to the Local Government, as the export duty on rubber is paid to the Government of the F.M.S. and a duty on rubber trees is paid to the Government of the Straits Settlements. ·
Nor are oil and rice the sole wealth of Burma, na tin and rub ber are virtually the whole ex- ported weath of Malaya. Burma is already one of the great ti producing countries of the world and if auch immensely wealthy mines as Mawchi had the advant uge of communications like those enjoyed almost throughout the F.M.S. the production of tin and other minerals would be greatly Increased The, lend, silver, zine and coppermine at Bawdwin so rich that the Burma Corporation has actually been ablé itself to open up the country and to dovolen
