WORK AT STANDSTILL
ON RUBBER ESTATES
(OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT)
Singapore, Nov. 15. More than 6,000 workers on 14 rubber estates in the Bahau area of Negrisembilan were still refusing to go to work today and the con- sequent loss of rubber cost Britain thousands more American dollars.
In Britain's most precious colonial asset native tappers had more fear of Red guerillas than faith in the ability of the Authorities to protect them.
And there were grim signs today that the Reds, cook-a-hoop over the easy success of their first major intimidation effort, were planning to extend it over the entire country.
If they did, the result would be disa strous for the whole free world. Malaya would be deprived of her life-blood, Britain robbed of her biggest dollar earner, and America of her main supply of natural rubber.

COMMENT OF THE DAY
Commonwealth Resources
THE emphasis which a number of THE
Ministers în the new British Government have laid on Common- wealth relations carries with it some significance. The inference is that a revitalised policy is in the making. Early next year the Commonwealth Finance Ministers will meet in London to discuss the economic crisis but it is conceivable that the opportunity will be seized to explore wider subjects of joint interest and importance to Britain and her Commonwealth partners. One of Mr R. A. Butler's recent utterances may be taken as a hint. He told the House of Commons, "The figures in the deficits of our economy are large, but look at our resources. Look at the wide range and strength of our Commonwealth of Nations. Think of the latent power of this great confederacy." If this is not un empty use of high-sounding phrases it would suggest that Mr Butler and his Cabinet colleagues intend seriously to explore the possibilities of developing and exploiting the vast latent resources within the Commonwealth to the general benefit of all its members. Considerable stress has been laid on the need for more productivity in order for Britain to restore her balance of trade

A Pooling
THE best business brains of America and Europe are getting together to pool their ideas on how to speed up the arms programme and the output of civilian goods. Among them are thirty of Britain's leading industrialists. It will be the biggest conference on production yet held. The programme gins with a tour of the greateéat ion plants in America, including apliirments working on defende nesdal Talk with members of the US Government Wit follow in Washington. The scheme has been sponsored by a
degree within the Commonwealth, waiting to be turned into production which would flow
Britain's to industrial and manufacturing machines and in turn industrialise and raise the standards of all the indigenous peoples. For them, it may be argued, it would be better than all the loans and charities in the world, and for Britain if would bring freedom from reliance on the generosity of others. Development of Commonwealth natural resources demanda a long-term plan which could not come to full fruition for many years, but it is a project which could be explored immediately and blueprinted without undue delay. The Attlee Government indulged in one or two bold, but not very successful, development projects in some of the colonial territories, but no attempt was made to help exploit the tremendous natural resources of the dominions. It is this, conceivably, thaf is in the mind of Mr Butler who appears to recognise that bolstering of the Sterling bloc calls for something more than a rearrangement of its finances. A broader conception is the eventual economic independence of the Commonwealth, and this may. best be achieved by the harnessing and sharing of its resources.
