PUNITIVE ACTION IN MALAYAN CAMPAIGN
London, February 2.
The Communist Member, Mr. Philip Piratin, asked in the House of Commons today if the Colonial Secretary has any information about the burning of Lintang, Malaya, by British forces. He asked how many homes were burnt, how many. people were rendered homeless, what accom- modation was provided for them and why this measure was carried out.
Mr.
Nothing To Hide

Arthur Creech Jones who could show legal title to his (Colonial Secretary) replied: land." "The bandits in this area, with the connivance and assistance of squatters from Lintang and other villages, had been respon- sible for the murder of three British planters, the kliling and wounding of 10 Churkas and other outrages.

Filipinos Abroad To Register?
Manila. February 2. Senator Fernando Lopez to- day opened the Senate debate on his bill providing for com- pulsory registration of Filipino citizens in foreign countries with the nearest Philippine consular establishment, office or agency.

"This requirement will serve to remind citizens of their duty to the Republic which is called upon to project their interests at all times. It is imperative that the Government should know where Filipines are located abroad and under what conditions they live." he said.
The bill calls for the registration of adult Filipinos abroad every two years with the payment of a registration fee equivalent to 10
