PERLIS

This is the smallest of the Malay States, the area being about 316 square miles. It is situated to the north of Kedah, and its conditions are practically identical with those of Kedah. Mr. Meadows Frost, the first British Adviser, followed the policy which marks British control in the Federated Malay States,' and the active co-operation of the Raja and his Council has led to a great improvement in the internal administration since the assumption of British suzerainty in 1909. The new railway through the State has attracted fresh settlers.

The population at the census of 1911 comprised 32,746 persons, of whom 29,497 were Malays, 1,627 Chinese, 1,388 Siamese, and only 5 Europeans (3 British). The revenue which in the first year of British Protection was $103,522 has increased steadily year by year. In 1916 it was $224,774 and in 1917 $264,976 and the expenditure in these two years was $178,593 and $193,776 respectively. With the transference of suzerainty there was taken over a debt of $474,796 by the F.M.S. The debt now stands at $556,838.

There is very little to be said of the trade of Perlis. In Kangar there is one street of shops, whose proprietors besides selling sundry goods also export padi-the staple product of the country-as well as ducks and fowls for the Penang market.
