The United Serdang report gives us an instance of a company whose maximùm 'dividend. ħas- never exceeded 45 per oënt. in any one year, and that it is now called upon to hand over to the Exchequer a sum equal to about 54 per cent, on its paid-up ospital. Other plantation companies, which distribute upwards of 100 per cent. annually for years, pay nota balfpenny. Scandals of this description will, we fear, be of frequent cocurrence during tha next six months, and the publica- tion of the United Serdang figures *hould bring home to everybody the glaring injustice of the Finance Act in its present form.

Those who have lived in the East know what excellent domestic. servants Chinese make, but there is so much prejudice to be over- come that it is only likely to be in a few inolated cases that the services of Chinese will be availed cf-L and C.
