Tin, Quota
While there cannot but be conflicting views on the subject, :t will be generally agreed that the International Tin Committee has displayed exemplary caution in approaching the question of fixation of the quota for the fist quarter of 1938. Contrary to anticipations, it made no decision at its meeting last week but contented itself with a proposal. This is foreign to the usual' practice, but in the cir- cumstances it is Justified by the situation. Consumption has not kept pace with production, but, at this time of day, and in view of the general conditions, something more than that is required to sup- port a proposed cut in the international quota of 25 per cent which in its turn would bring about a cut of a little over ve per cent. In
IT.C. hopes to find and deal with before Dec. 10. If the cut is madė, it is not likely to be appreciated in Malaya. The present price of the metal is regarded as not unreasonable and a cut in production ob viously to force the price to a higher level would not be looked upon with favour, in that it would mean less work for labour and machinery and bring about a definite set-back in the economic development of

Newbold that Government should reconsider its decision not to allow remission of tax on fuci used by Malaya's inter- ual air service, says the "Malaya Tribune." As the cost of the re- mission would be small and as the service has already proved its use- fulness in the short thine that it has been in operation, is difficult. to understand,, the Government's attitude. particularly so when, on account of international agreement, it places no similar imposition
on the International air services. Having regard to the fact that the internal air, service was born of local enterprise and that it is finan- ced and operated by local capital, it is surely the obvious thing to do to give it every possible encouragement The Colony Government has on several occasions emphasised the advantages of becoming air- minded, but beyond that it refuses to go. If it entertains the idea that it made its final contribution to civil aviation in bringing the Singapore airport into being it should disabuse itself of it as quickly as possible. The airport would have been constructed whether the Colony liked it or not because imperial communications called for it. This is a case in which example is better than precept.
