The [Malay] Peninsula, the last little bit of land hanging on down there [see map^. would be scarcely defensible. The tin and tungsten that we so greatly value from that area would cease coming, and all India would be outflanked. Burma would be in no position for defense...

Liquidating RFC's $1.6 billion assets will be no easy job. RFC's rubber plants will be sold to private industry in the next year or two (TIME, April 27); its tin smelter and other properties will be transferred to other Government agencies. But with $832 million still outstanding in RFC loans that run as long as 30 years, the effects of the old Government agency will take a long time to fade away...
