Prompt Action in F. M.S

It is interesting to note that consumers in the F. M, S. have also become aware of the fact that their gasoline is costing -more than it should and in Singapore a new company, financed by a group of responsible business men, has been formed for the purpose of importing gasoline and shipments already hi been arranged for from Ameri For some time past the "Straits Times" have sponsored the mov ment and have reproduced in part support of their case, our editorial comment and articles. Residents in the F.M.S. were asked by the "Strai Times" to Si in and forward a form which appeared in several issues of the paper, which when completed represented an undertaking to take a given number of gallons during stated period. The appeal met with unanimotis response and large shipment is now on the water. It is proposed to put the spirit on the market at 60 cents.
