The Chinese population consists of immigrants from South China and Malayan-born Chinese. The former are birds of passage, the latter are domiciled British subjects mostly engaged in commerce and hitherto regarded as firmly attached to the Briti sh connection. This view is now being modified and it is by no means certain how far the Malayan Chinese can be trusted to remain loyal in the event of serious trouble with China. The idea that all Chinamen are of one race and nationality is being sedulously fostered and is steadily gaining ground. acceptance oflocal Chinamen of official positions in the Kuo Min Tang is an indication of this new spirit.
