PAGE EIGHTEEN THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE' FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1948. 'Show Colony' of Malaya Beset With Murder, Strife By JAMES McCOOK Canadian Press Staff Writer London, June 25--(CP)--Murder and political strife, flourishing amid jealousies and economic troubles, disturb the serenity of the federa- tion of Malaya, once Britain's "show colony." Freed from the Japanese occupa- tion in 1945, the former Malayan states with their wealth of rubber and tin have become one federation. British colonial policy anticipates that they eventually will reach self- government, But in recent weeks, in districts where leftist guerrillas fought the Japanese with valor, there have been at least 13 serious "incidents," including 29 murders. European managers of estates have been spe- cial targets of the guerrflla at- tackers, Involved disorders include these factors: The native Malays feel they have not prospered like the enterprising, businesslike Chinese and Indians. Extremist elements find ready listeners when they say more should be done for the native peoples, Rubber and tin industries are be- ing restored but prices have risen enormously and a laborer needs three times his previous wage to enjoy pre-war comforts. Political restlessness, evident through Asia following the war, has disturbed the ancient amiability of the Malayan peoples. Malcolm Macdonald, former Un- ited Kingdom High Commissioner in Canada who now is Commis- sioner-General for the United King dom in Southeast Asia, said in a broadcast that an attempt is being made by Communist agitators to establish the rule of gun and knife in Malaya. : The colonial office announced that' Sir Edward Gent, British High Com- missioner, had given new powers to Malayan police to restore order. They include the dedth penalty for unauthorized possession of firearms, ammunition and explosives. Lt.-Col. . David Rees-Williams, Colonial Under-Secretary, said in the Comons that Malayan crimes of violence "have their origin in agi- tation by extremist elements, who challenge the authority of the gov- ernment" by fomenting strikes, in- timidation and repudiation of con- ciliation. Traffic. Toll Rise Underlines Need For Greater Care Fatal triffic accidents in Ontario continued their seasonal upswing last month with a preliminary count of 56 deaths on the province's streets and highways. Although the trend in traffic deaths was down for the first three nsonths of the year, the toll for April and May together is up from the same two months of last year. The May traffic toll bears out previous warnings by Highways Department officials thats traffic conditions are expected to be more dangerous than ever before during this year's holiday season, despite construction of more and safer highways and continuous safety education work. In recent weeks the province's entize system of safe. ty warning and direction signs has been under review by thie Depart- ment's field staff, in order to assure drivers of every possible felp in their efforts to drive more carefully in present-day. record traffic. The 24th of May week-end was one of 'the busiest in recent years but also one of the safest, with the driving public prepared for heavy traffic by warnings in the press and on the radio. The next week-end however saw an apparent relapse in safety-consciousness with at least 10 people killed by traffic accidents, A review of last month's fatal accidents shows that drivers suffer. custom four sedans, club coupe and business coupe.

If he has nothing to be afraid of he has noth- ing to conceal from the guardian of the law. The game laws are made to be observed and not to be ignored. The presence of the Ward- en should be welcomed by any true sportsman, but there is always the odd person who does not adhere strictly to the letter of the law and he usually finds himself in trouble before the season is far advanced. The Game Warden is in reality the guardian of the wild life and the sportsman's friend. His chief function is to conserve the re- sources which make possible the sports of hunting and fishing, and to do this he is empowered to act as a referee or umpire to see that those who. take part in these par- ticular sports do so according to the rules of the game. No right-think- ing person objects to an umpire controlling athletic sports and ex- acting penalties where the rules are disregarded.
