Construction on the Clippers is being accelerated for two good reasons. One is to clear the Boeing plant for production of flying fortresses. Equally Important, wartime measure, is to use these ships to expand trans-Atlantic passenger and mail service.

CONTROL

OF RICE

Government Sets Up Monopoly

The Hongkong Government issued on Saturday an important com munique, announcing a change in the rice control scheme.

The policy hitherto has been to avoid direct Government storage and trading. Instead, dealers have been licensed, with

of the keeping adequate stocks as an essential con- dition of licence. Import has been facilitated and export has been per- mities. Prices have been axed.

Thus Government has tried (1) to ensure against shortage, (2) to keep prices down, (3) to avoid destroy- ing private enterprise, (4) to avoid departmental complications and loss to the taxpayer, (5) to keep stock moving and so avold deterioration.

The plan, however, is not consider- ed to have worked satisfactorily, and the necessity for close co-operation with the Shanghai authorities appears urlsen. Government has to have therefore decided to take full control of the wholesale rice trade, which means a Government monopoly of import and export.

It is also stated that, because of the shortage of Thailand rice, the community will have learn to like the softer, more glutinous Burma rice,
