The farmers com plain that they cannot compete with foreign rice. Figures prove, in fact, that in Slam and Indo- China, two fertile and wei - governed countries, with unlimit- ed resources of cheap labour, rice can be produced and shipped to Canton, at far less cost, than trom the up-country districts of Kwang- tung and the adjoining provinces. No wonder the farmers grumble at the standing burden of taxation, at the ravages of bandits, and the levles by soldiers sent to suppress the bandits, at high transport charges, inflated by the protec- tion fees" of Begal organisations, and then, to crown their troubles, the competition from countries where the growers are free from such handicaps.
