The main living level has a
living room extending across

The formal proclamation Of the
Federation Of Malaga on August
81 called the worlds attention TO
two startling facts
. Since the end Of World War II.
more than half of the worlds
population has achieved political
independence in Is new nations.
. The emergence OF Malaga as an
independent state leaves no major
area Of mainland Asia under the
domination of q Western Euro
pean power. At the same time, the
influence Of Russia increases in
Asia, through its dominion over
Siberia, Mongolia and the Hindu
Kush. not to mention its close ties
with Communist China. Tibet,
North Wet Nam. and North Korea.
The great Western withdrawal
from Asia started ten years ago.
when the British relinquished con-
troll Of India. Since then. In rapid
sequence, Burma, Ceylon. the
Dutch East Indies and Indo- China
(including the French protecto-
rates Of Cambodia and Laos) have
achieved political independence.
With the departure Of rich Ma
lava from the traditional colonial
realm Of the great European COM
mercial and maritime nations, only
a few small and inconseQuential
footholds remain for Europe on
Asia's mainland: the Portuguese
enclaves of Goa and Macao, and
the British remnants, Singapore
and Hong Kong.
A Common Problem
The Federation Of Malaga
shares q common problem with
the other newly independent
states which have emerged with
almost bewildering speed since
1915: How to achieve economic
vitality. political stability and .
standard Of living high enough TO
counter the lures Of international
communism. It's handling OF that
problem should provide q useful
case history for Western observers.
Although embarking on political
self-guidance on q democratic
basis, Malaga, like most Of her
sister newcomers to world politics.
has no tradition Of democratic in
situations on which to build. She
does have. happily. q well-orgarl-
lied and competent civil service,
bequeathed to Kuala Lumpur, the
new independent capital, BY the
departing British. India. likewise
favored at the time Of divorce
ment from Britain's once far-nune
empire, has found the advantage
tremendous.
But Malaga is likely to face

Even on home ground, however,

the whole school system later was

In the Interior Department, the

Of the Federal. City. The Com
missioners' engineers in the Dis

conflicting projects.
Citizen advisory committees by
the dozens have been created to
give the people who pay the bills
q voice in their government.
The Commissioners time and
again use Federal views to justify
one course Of action to the tax
payers. and the local advisers rec
concentrations to justify another
to Federal officials.
Now District problems are spill
ing over Federal. State. county
and city lines. So city fathers are
putting their heads together with
area officials to organize the met
ropolitan region.
Unless their powers to act catch
up with their powers to talk, three
heads may not be enough.

Mr.. Beverley has found q ripe

The Communist Threat
When the Union Jack came

ed yellow star and crescent on q
blue background-the new Prime
Minister and the new Paramount
Ruler (both. somewhat confusing
ty, named Abdul Rahman, although
not related. took over a new
state and a new set Of challenges.
Ominously, the Red Chinese Peip-
ing Radio declared "the Malayan
peoples struggle against imper-
ialism has not ended" and charged
that Britain had not in reality
yielded her colonial control over
the peninsula.
But the Communist threat to
Malaga. fiaring holly dangerous
from 1913 through 1852. is not
considered as pressing as 1t once
was. The Red guerrilla forces have
been decimated, ana operate now
only in the jungleS and swamps
whereas they once controlled huge
areas and defied all efforts to end
their destructive forays. With the
coming Of independence. much Of
the Red rallying-cry for Malayan
support "the struggle against CO.
lonialism and foreign domination"
has been removed.
Yet the Federation. with its
