RUBBER GROWERS"

ASSOCIATION.

PROGRESS OF SCHEME IN F.M.S.

Crosfield and Co., the largest single group in Malaya and Sumatra, had already published their deci sion to assent to the May stoppage, and be assured me that the other. big European groups in this coun- try were loyally backing the scheine.

Unfounded. Feara, Questioned as to the fears which the Han, Mr. Veerasamy, Indian member of the Federal Council, ex- pressed last weck, as to the effect" of the proposed stoppage on Indian estate fabourers, Mr. Ward-Jackson invited attention to the action al ready taken by the FP.A.M. urging that the scheme should not insolve either temporary or permanent re- "duction of labour forces.

Kuala Lumpat, March 17.-Mr. G. Ward-Jackson, the local szere tary of the Rubber Growers' Ás- sociation, in whose office in Kuala Lumpur data relating to the R.G.A. campaign for the cessation of tpp ping text May is rapidly ac cummulating, gave the Straite Times a very definite denial of the report which has been published here to the effect that, the required Mr. Ward-Jackson proceeded, "that There is not the slightest fear," percentage of producers have al

This does not mean that the out-sponsible employers will be made to suffer in any way if and when look is anything but bright for the

ly organised estate could afford, ar indeed would desire, to discharge its labour force just because top-

"There is no reason at all to doubt that the scheme will be ac-

cepted," said Mr. Ward-Jackson,

"and that the assent of the re quisite quota of producers-seventy per cent will be obtained, but it is not expected that any interin result will be published.

"The final result will be made known as early as possible after March 29, which is the final date

on which assenta to the scheme will be received, and the result will be announced by the 'R.G.A. in Lon- don."

Ping was supended for one month."

Commenting on Mr. Veerasamy's Labour Cod-Ordinance requiring an reference to the provisions of the employer to provide work for days in each calendar mouth should a labourer present himself and be fit for work, Mr. Ward-Jackson said: "I can assure Mr. Veerasamy that provision will in his own words be honoured in the spirit and the letter, and that there will bo no need for Government to take any action in relation to this aspect of the scheme."-Straits Times.

don, and that the only assents of which the R.G.A. office in Kuala. Lumpur is notified are those of companies registered in Malaya ör of privately-owned estates whose proprietors are domiciled in Malaya."

In addition, of course, there are the Dutch producers, whose assents are being collected by the Dutch organisers of the scheme. The re- suits in Dutch territory are not notified to the R.G.A. office in Kuala Lumpur, but Mr. Ward Jackson told the Straits Times that there was every, reason to be- lieve that the Dutch growers were giving the scheme their wholeheart. ed support.

At this point Mr. Ward-Jack- 807 referred to the statement published here that the May stop- page would be carried out in Malaya even if the Dutch do rot co-operate.

This

quite untrue," he said. The form of assent specifically re- leases producers from their promise if adherence to the proposal does not represent at least seventy per cent, of the production (a) of Dutch or other European-owned · estates excluding British in the Nether- lands East Indies or (b) of Euro. pean-owned" estates in British rub- ber-growing territories in the Ne- therlands East Indies.'

Influential Support.

This leaves no doubt whatever,” Mr. Ward-Jackson said, "that! Dutch cooperation is an essential factor of the scheme."

Questioned as to the attitude of Asiatic producers in Malaya, Mr. Ward-Jackson said that while the adherence of these producers WLS| not essential for the scheme to be put into operation, nevertheless Asiatic support was an important | factor and was in fact assured.

The scheme has already been off- cially approved by the Asiatic Plan- ters Association of Malaya, the United Society of Japanese Plaa- ters, and the Asiatic rubber plan- ters of Malacca, Mr. Ward-Jackson pointed out. He further mention-1 ed that a meeting is to be held this week of the Asiatic planters of Kedah, Province Wellesley and Penahg with the object of rallying support for the scheme, and that a meeting of proprietary planters of Negri Sembilan will be held at Seremban next Sunday for a simi- Iar purpose.

Mr. Ward-Jackson, in reply to an- other question, was unable to give definite details of the European sup- port already accorded in Malaya, but he pointed out that Harrisons,.

When two Chinese were charged before Mr. Whyte-Smith with eruelty to chickens by carrying then by their wings, the Magis trate remarked that, there is a difference of opinion about this question of carrying chickens. Some people argue that carrying. them by the wings is most humane,”

After Further discussion, during which the Magistrate said it was unfortunate that, we could not ask the chickens which way they pre- ferred being carried, the case was remanded for 48 hours in order that expert evidence might be brought.

Defendants were granted bail in the sum of $10 each.
