ATMOSPHERE OF

CRITICISMS OF TIN QUOTA SCHEME.

F.M,S. CHAMBER OF MINES MEETING,

"Whether we have done wisely or not in embarking on the quota scheme time alone will prove."

This was a passage in a speech by Mr. J. H. Rich read at the dnnual meeting of the FM.S. Chamber of Mines in Ipoh Tast #cok. Mr. Rich further said that he could not express too strongly the regret which both supporters and opposers of restriction must feel at the deplorable atmosphere of secrecy which bad characterised the whole proceedings.

Referring to tin restriction, Mr. Rich stated that he did not desire to enter into an argument for or against restriction as a policy. Ons or two general observations, how ever, had to be made on the events of the past few months. The Government realised that it was accepting a grave responsibility in introducing legislative measures for restriction, and circularised the industry for the purpose of obtain ing a vote on the principle.

After recalling that the country's fortifications held up the German army in 1014 for twelve days, he said that, without desiring to under value the guarantees of the Lucamo Agreement, he could not avoid con- templating the possibility of another invasion. If in that event the Antwerp position was open, the fact would in effect be an invitation to the enemy to invade the teritory from the north.

Without expressing any views as to the fairness of this figure, he was surprised and as- tounded to see in the papers recent ly that the chairman of probably one of the most important groups working in Malaya stated in the course of the annual meeting of one of his companies that his group had not been consulted at all as the sellement of Malaya's quota. In view of this omission one wondered who were consulted

and who advised the representative of Malaya.

Having regard to the importance of the issues involved there had been too much haste and far too much secrecy, which only tended to engender suspicion and distrust.
