Evidence: | '"The Syonan Times" of August 7th says: "Grow more food. It is essential. It is to be planted on enemy-owned rubber plantations. The shortage is the result of bad administration by the British, but the Malayans must take their share of the blame, as there is responsibility both as government and governed." It sounds OK, but the soil won't respond.' |
