MALAYAN REVIEW

Controlling The Movements of Aliens

Over four years ago, the Government introduced the "Allens Bill. to Malaya, and who are not domiciled there. When the bill came up almed at imposing a check on the movements of foreigners who come

before the Legislative Council, there were criticisms from Unofficial Chinese members, all of whom strongly opposed the measure." At that time, the measure was regarded generally, by the Chinese, as being discriminating against the community, and the official replies to the expression of fears by the community's representatives did not to any great extent allay the qualms which were held. That Bill was passed.. and became law. Now It has been made, known that the Registration of Aliens Ordinance, and all rules and orders issued thereunder are to be repealed and a new bill. to be cited as the "Registration of Allens Ordinance 1937" will be introduced the effect of which will be n still stricter check on the movements of aliens:

The objects and reasons are announced as follows: The object of the Bill is to provide more effective control over the movement of aliens, and to enable accurate information as to their whereabouts. to be compiled. There are also certain anomalies in the existing Or- dinance. For example, an allen is required at present, to report a visit to Johore, being out of the Colony, but not to Penang or Malacca.

Position of Financial Secretory

In the Straits Settlements, as in other Colonies, the title of Treasurer will probably be abolished and the title of Financial Secre- tary, carrying greater responsibility, is to be substituted. The Finan- cial Secretary will deal with foarcial policy and will be directly re- sponsible to the Governor. A Chief Accountant or Accountant-Gen- eral will control and supervise the Treasury. It will be the business of the Financial Secretary to indicate the measures necessary to main- tain financial and economic policy on proper lines; to point out weak- nesses where they exist; and to initiate improvements

Under this conception the financial officer in a large Colony, whose position would be suitably indicated by the title "Financiar Secretary." will form, with his immediate stan, an integral part of the Headquarters establishment of the Government. He should be s member of both the Executive and Legislative Councils; he should be responsible for the preparation and presentation to the Legislative Council of the Annual Estimates; and he should normally act as the spokesman of Government on financial and economic questions.

Finally it provides, as part of the ordinary machinery of Govern- ment, a means by which the ablest officers in the Service may acquire the experience necessary to deal effectively with those problems of economics and Anance which confront us to-day, and which will in- creasingly demand the best that the Service can give.

Protesting To The Colonial Office

*

The Singapore Bar Committee is far from satisfied with the reply received from the Secretary of State for the Colonies on the question of the qualifications of Judges of the Supreme Court of the Straits Settlements, and it is good to know that further representa- tions are to be made on the subject. Whether these representations will have any effect. is doubtful, for it seems to be the policy of the Colonial Office to force wholesale legislation on colonies and de- pendencies, regardless of whether such legislation suits local condi- tions. It appears to the lay man nothing more than or- dinary common sense that provisions should exist, and the protest of the Bar Committee against the new rules-or rather the absence of any rules at all-has the strongest support of all who take any interest In such a question.

"We wish success to the further steps the Singapore Bar Committee intends to take in the matter, but, as we have said, the Colonial Office is a stubborn institution and its oficials seem to be singularly unable to see any other point of view than their own." is the cogent comment made by the "Malaya The stage of the Oriental Thea-Tribune" on this aspect of Colonial administration: tre made, a charming setting last These are generalities, which night for the second violin Recital Contributing To Imperial Defence ̈ PUBLIC AUCTION. can be warruly reciprocated every-given by the famous violin Virtuoso, Tall palms and where.
