PROTECTION.

At a farewell luncheon on May 6. at which the Malay States Chamber of Commerce entertained the reiir- ing High Commissioner, who is also governor of the Straits Settlements, Sir Arthur Young made a speech ostensibly in favour of imposing im port duties on articles which might be manufactured locally. This utter-1 ance is certain to attract considerable attention, because Malaya, 'like Hongkong, has thrived on a"Free Trade policy. We think the speech should not, be taken too seriously. We think Sir Arthur Young did not mean it to be so taken. In the first place, it was made at a luncheon in the club, in reply to a toast. In the second, it was frankly Jocular. And in the third place, Sir Arthur was conspicuously careful to remind his auditors more than once that bis words, his "views," were in no way binding on his successor. It is difficult to see how he could have talked in any other way, at a Juncheon. He Was the guest
