Moral Factor
Sibu, Sarawak, May 25. One of Sarawak's favourite tales of the Japanese occupation' gra is this:-
A Chinese gardener in pre- war days taught his pet parrot to say "Down With Japan." Then the Japanese arrived and the frightened gardener hur- ried to a monastery, to ask nd- vice from a monk.
"Don't be scared," the monk said and exchanged the gar- dener's parrot for his own.

Women Banned At Arab King's Enthronement
Amman, May 26. Sixty-four-year-old Abdullah Ibn Al Hussain, formally mounted the throne of Transjordan yesterday morning and promptly called upon the whole Arab world to unite behind him for a federation of Arab states.
In what was probably the most important and colourful day in Transjordan's 5,000-year history, the bearded Ab. dullah accepted kingship over his 300,000 subjects as agreed in a treaty signed a month ago ending the Bri- tish mandate over the country.
