Chinese Rubber Holdlogs. Says the Kuals Lampar cor- respondent of the Straits Times. *- Brisk dealing in small rubber haldings continues in the Klang b

nd Kuala Lumpur districts Where purchases are being effect- ed daily, the purchasers being in most cases, Chinese. The Malay holders of small properties are b now benefitting by the wisdom of ¦a. their rulers who placed restric tion upon alienation. There Incky people, thanks to the rise have In prices,

plenty of money to spend and here to do it, riding rickahes, patronizing the stores from which they make their pur chases, and putting on a deal of quiet side with it. It was suggested (b. by your Kuala Lampar contem- porary a few weeks ago that this rising prosperity accounted for b the lavish display of jewellery upon. the part of the ladies; but | they always look after themselves in that respect whether times be good or bad. The improved sp pearance of the men and the richer taxture of their raiment is a more b reliable index of affluence.

Japan and the East Indies. A novel policy to facilitate the development of Japan's interests 5. in the Dutch Ex: Indies and the Malay Peninsula is advocated by: Mr. Yosobaro Takekoshi, a roled publicist who has identified himself with the exploitation of the South Seas by the Japanese, b. says the Japan Times. Express- b. ing bis antiafaction at the development of Japanese activity in the South Seas he says that whereas it was at first confined to b the Malay Penicaals, it is DOW extended to Borneo and Sumatra. | He suggests by way of precaring 5. labour, which is in keen demand in that part of the world, especially since Chinese labour b was appreciated, that the Foreign b. Office should take up a novel, but efficient measure to give

b.

facility to Japanese enterprise. b.

Buch being the case, there is al growing tendency among the Chinese to obtain Japanese nationality, but most of them b. hesitate to go in for it in view of the involved legal proceedings

Such a regulation is not entirely new, France having already enacted it in Siam. Mr. Takekoshi wants the Govern- went to follow the; example set
