had long experience of Malaya. He
is President of the Malaya Asso-
ciation in London. And he is made angry
by the “ disgraceful lies ” told after the
Japanese invasion of Malaya. He is dis-
gusted by the wild allegations about
“ whisky-drinking rubber planters, tin
miners and ' blimp ’ Civil Servants.”
In a speech he paid a tribute to the

“...for that both here and across the
Atlantic.
He failed to extract the promise he
desired, but was treated with great
indulgence and even sympathy by the
official world in England. He left London
protesting the unshakable loyalty of
Burma. Time will show whether, so far
as he personally was concerned, his assur-
ances were sincere or a cloak for a kind
of mischief -making which met with rebuff
from Mr. Cordell Hull when U Saw was in
the United States.
The Middle East Command
With the inclusion of Iraq and Iran in
the Middle East Command, General
Auchinleck now controls a united front
extending from the neighbourhood of El
Agheila, in Lybia, to the Caucasus. His
campaign in Libya has beein highly
successful, the enemy having been ejected
from a vast stretch of territory. But
Tripoli, the ultimate objective of the cam-

flood markets with cheap produce and to
take little or nothing in return.
It was, in fact, a one-way trade. This
held good in Iraq, the Sudan, and else-
where. It was a magnificent conception
from Japan’s point of view, for the
Japanese were able to point to a large per-
manent favourable trade balance with an
important group of countries. Fcr Britain
and other customers of these countries the
position was not so pleasant. They pro-
vided the markets for the produce of these
conn tries, and had to acquiesce in Japan’s
monopoly of textiles, the most important
import item.
Fear of a Crisis
Not every country was prepared to
stand this one-wa.v traffic indefinitely.
Egypt, whose developing textile industry
was being affected by Japanese imports,
soon took steps to restrict this competi-
tion. Iraq also insisted that Japan
should take more local produce, and no
doubt in the course of time other countries
would have taken restrictive steps. But
