Malaya's Fight Against Guerillas

THE

Two Million People Are Living Behind Barbed Wire Curtains

Singapore, June 22.

Some 2,000,000 out of Malaya's five million population now spend their nights behind barded wire defences guarded by guns.

They are mustered for protection as an essential part of the fight against the country's Communist guerillas, whose campaign of terrorism and economic sabotage has entered its fourth year.

Japanese Defence Problem

Canberra, June 21. Mr. Richard G. Casey, Minister for External Affairs, told the House of Representatives, tonight that Japan must be allowed to make some provision for her own defence under the terms of the Japanese peace treaty.

Because of the growth of Communist Imperialism, there was a need to consider not only security against Japan but the security of Japan itself, he declared.
