Tells Of History and Beauty
OF Malay Peninsula.
To the Editor OF The Star:

10 IEe EoItoI OF ne otaI
Pointing, as it does. directly at the
fabulously wealthy East Indies like a
sharp lance head. the Malaga Peninsula
offers to its possessor. today as always.
the control of the rich trade from China,
Japan and the Spice Islands passing
through the Straits of Malacca to India
and more distant Europe.
The Alexandrian geographer, Ptolemy,
wrote first Of this important and far
away region in 140 AID. and he got his
information from sailors and merchants
of Southern India.
From the 7th to the 18th century all
of Indonesia was dominated by the
Hindu Buddhist empire of Srivijava.
The Arabian Nights" calls an emperor
OF this epoch the King of the Noun
tain and Lord of the Isles" because he
governed his empire from a mountain
throne. Chinese colonists settled on his
lands and then increasing numbers OF
Mohammedans arrived But the original
inhabitants have survived all changes
to this day.
The King of the Mountain" controlled
the Straits of Malacca and its lucrative
transient trade. Following him the Mo-
hammendans dominated the passage
until the Portuguese elected them in
1911. The Dutch superseded the Portu-
guese in 1641 only to yield in 1786 to
Englishmen who still remain in 1912
Prior to the coming of the English
men the town of Malacca. located right
on the straits, served as the center from
whence the water passage was DOM
mated. In 1919, however, Sir Stamford
Rafies moved the center to an island of
the tip of the Malay Peninsula which he
purchased from the local rulers. There
he founded the city of Singapore. today
as large as Washington, D. c., and one
of the 10 busiest seaports in the world.
Running northward from this stra-
logically placed seaport through the
middle of the 'steaming jungles of the
Malayan mainland is ridge of noun
tains that stretches away to the lofty
Himalayas OF Tibet. AS result, while
hot and sultry, Singapore is only few
miles from the equator, not many hours
distant in Malaga there are pine trees.
Men seldom have had time to see the
loveliness that exists in Malaga. They
always have ignored the natural beauty
of the Malaga Peninsula in favor Of its
natural wealth and position.

Complains About Conditions
In Puerto Rico.

To the Editor Of The Star:
I take exception to Frank Buckley's
exception to Stephen Trumbrill's articles
on Puerto Rico. which, believe, are IS
per cent true.
Mr. Buckley seems to favor the party
now in power. No doubt the last party
was corrupt (which one isnt?), but the
present one is more so. The promises
made by it went into reverse. During
the last administration there were occa-
sional trash and garbage collections. In
the past three months there has been
only one. The trash, ETC., is kept in gaso-
line drums or thrown in a field and
sometimes burned. Talk about SANTA
ton!
The poverty and filth are appalling.
There is no tax on dogs, SO the island
is overrun with them, also with beggars.
The natives will not speak English un-
less absolutely necessary. The majority.
including the educated ones, say they
are Puerto Ricans and not Americans.
Americans are accused of spelling the
servants by giving them living wages.
The usual wage is from 81 to $6 per
month; SIS is considered fabulous sum.
There are no good roads. One has
been under construction in this town
for the past year. A native remarked:
"At the rate they are working it will
take 30 years to finish"
One can get by in San Juan without
Spanish, but never in q small town.
Nothing is ever done when 1t should be.
It 1t always "manana."
All these things see daily.

Scoboria is making every effort to maintain a list of eligible candi- dates in the face of definite short age of qualified men in Connecticut by opening the examinations to residents of other states. In this way, it is expected that physicians who have had at least one year of internShip in an approved hospital will be obtained as assistant physi- clans and similarly qualified physi- clans with the additional exper- fence of three years as member of the medical staff of mental hospi- tai or satisfactory equivalent as Senior Physicians (Psychiatric).
