MALAYA FEDERATION PACTS

Singapore Remains A Crown Colony

Kuala Lumpur, Jan. 22. Only the Crown colony of Singapore, one of the freak bastions of the Empire, was excepted in the signing of agreements yesterday by Great Britain with the rulers of nine Malayan states, creating a Federation of Malaya, and return- ing infernal self-government to the Malay peninsula.

The new Federation, which represents the latest application of Britain's liberal post-war Colonial policy, will become a going concern after the Governor, Sir Edward Gent, issues an order in Council, probably about Feb. 1.

Sadistic Terror In China

Nanking. Jan. 22,

"Not even the Japanese at their worst touched the lower depth of sadisile terrorism than now being witnessed in some parts of the Communist con- trolled regions." declared Dr. Jollington Tong, Government information director at a presS conference this afternoon, re- ferring to the murder of the three Lutheran missionaries in Hapeh by Communists.

Civilisation is under the threat of a complete breakdown in regions under Communist control, Dr. Tong added. "The Communist armies are leaving a res! line of savagery behind. which the terror-stricken popuła⋅ | tion is suffering."

Dr. Tong estimated that the number of Chinese men. Women and children who have ded| from their homes in destitution before the advance of the Com- it rates is not far under 50.000.000,"

Dr. Teng continued:

"These displaced persons in almost un believable misery are rowding every Government controlled ety. They constitute the most gigantic displaced population! problem in the world today." be sait!
