Mr. J. Twaddle (Blyth), at this point, recalled that Mr. Lloyd George gave a similar assurance during the lust war, but that conditions of engineers when hostilities ended were deplorablo.

After a detailed report of the long the to negotiations which led up agreement Mr. Tanner said that, con- sidering the present position, the agreement was quite satisfactory.

In Singapore

THERE is a shortage of potatoes in Singapore due, it is believed, to some dealers not making use of permits to import large quantities or deliberately not executing these permits in order to force up the price.

The Food Controller, it is understood, has begun tak- ing action which may be. come drastic if the steps do not prove immediately effec tive.

It is thus hoped to remedy the situation within a few days.

Japan is still the largest exporter of potatoes to Malaya. Other suppliers are Java, China, Burma, Australia, Egypt and Pale stine,

About 1,200 tons of pola toes are consumed in Malaya every month,

The price of potatoes has increased during the past few days, and in some dis. tricts potatoes have not been obtainable,
