...long tons-imported from Indonesia, Siam and Indo-China for processing in Singapore plants. At the beginning of 1950, rubber was selling for a little over 17? a pound. Then the price began to rise furiously, hit a high around 80/ a pound. The buyers: U.S.A. (35% of Malayan production), Britain, Europe, Red China (up 600% from 1949) the Soviet Union and European satellites (up 28% from...
...government is bringing along natives as No. 2 men in all departments. By Oriental standards education is already advanced (literacy is around 40%), and big school-building programs are afoot. On my way out to see Mac-Donald at "Bukit Serene," three miles from Johore Bahru, the Malayan taxi driver said: "If we were going five miles, I would have to ask you to lie down on the floor.

And then he meets Andros, a soldier whose inability, or unwillingness, to identify himself is taken by the British medics behind the barbed...
...hope of exterminating them in Hawaii; the flies are too firmly dug in. But the entomologists hope to reduce the fly population and thus reduce likelihood of an invasion of the U.S. mainland. One line of attack is to look for the flies' insect enemies. A Malayan wasp is the best fighter found so far, but it has not yet proved effective in Hawaii...
