...anti-Communism of Malaya's ruling conservatives, and Lee's own comprehension of the island's economic, dependence on foreign trade and capital, will hold him on a moderate course.

There is little chance of that now. The county's two public high schools and 18 grade schools will stay shut. For some 1,500 white children, Prince Edward will set up private schools supported by donations (asking for state money might bring down the law). For more than 1,700 Negro students there will be no schools...
