Mr Malcolm MacDonald, Commissioner General for Southeast Asia, said today that the task of subduing the Communist guerrillas in Malaya had become more difficult since the Chinese Communist intervention in Korea and invasion of Tibet.

Mr MacDonald said that events outside always influenced the terrorists' morale and recent Com- munist successes in Indo-China would add to the British forces' task of restoring law and order in Malaya.

Mr MacDonald then outlined the various long-term economic, educational and political pro- grammes for combatting Com- munism in Malaya.
