Malaya Bandits Strike Again

THE ambushing and killing of Sir THE

Henry Gurney, High Commissioner for Malaya, is a wicked and revolting- crime. There are certain clements in the outrage which suggest either the. bandits were aided by good fortune, or they planned the whole thing with diabolical cleverness. The indications are that had not an escorting military -vehicle broken down near the spot where the ambush had been laid, the nefarious enterprise might well have failed. The loss of the armed military escort meant that Sir Henry Gurney and his party had little chance of warding off any attack, and such proved to be the case. One question is which immediately poses itself whether the army vehicle had been sabotaged to enable the bandits to lay a successful ambush at a particular spot. If not, the accident was as fortuitous as it was calamitous. Sir Henry Gurney, understandably, was a top priority target for the Communists. They have long been aware that the intensified campaign directed against them in Malaya has been largely due to his energy and initiative. No quarter was to be asked or given, and recognition of this prompts the doubt whether the High Commissioner and his party were not taking undue risks in making a journey through territory well known to be ideal for bandit ter-

In

Federation TWO fears met at the Victoria Falls conference to discuss the project of a Central African Federation. The white man's fear was that the black man in Africa, adding political power to political consciousness, would even- tually submerge him in the continent.. The black man fears that the white settler would use his political control to prevent the blackman's advance. From the fears came deadlock! And now the conference has been adjourned· for nine months. There is probably. general regret on both sides at post- ponement of a decision. Why did the Africans resist a project which would alds the economic advancement of their own territories and provide a

rorism. The cunning, and the ability, of the Communist partisans in Malaya have been amply demonstrated.--They- dare not be underrated without heavy cost. The ambushing and slaying of Sir Henry Gurney is but another example of the careful manner in which. they lay their plans and the effective way in which they carry them through. The affair also represents a serious challenge to the constitutionally- appointed authorities. This is the first time the bandits have struck at such a high level-possibly because it was their first real opportunity. But the incident serves to underscore the necessity not only for intensifying the campaign ngainst the Malaya terrorists, but of doing so in such a manner that they are quickly and ruthlessly eliminated. The intricacy of the problem is wholly acknowledged. Nevertheless, resources are available for the effective fulfilment. of the task. If they have not, to date, been used with sufficient energy and imagination, alternative methods must be found and applied. It should be possible to show that Communist partisans are not the only fighters 'capable of carrying out jungle warfare. Cunning must be matched with cun- ning, and tactics with tactics if these bandits are to be finally and completely 'suppressed.

They want to stay as they are, Wards of the Colonial Office. Notwithstanding, the resolve that the African should march forward to a finer and richer life is a fixed point of British policy. Sympathy remains for the African's fear, but let him bo persuaded to put it aside when the conference moots again: The project of federation is a stop towards fuller partnership.
