Why rush off to plant rubber in the Straits, when you have sufficiently good soil at hand in the low-country of Ceylon? Taken all round the low-country of Ceylon is infinitely healthier than the Straits Settlements. In the low country here you will never hear of scores of villagers wiped out by fever, or of land that has to be abandoned because even the very Tamils die upon it. The Innd, you say, is more expensive in Ceylon and the Government less willing to encourage the intending settler. True, but yut it is better to endure the evil that you wot of than rush off to an unknown lead which might be anything.
