WELLESLEY VISIT 1938 THOMASTOWN, VIC. 3074. 80 comment With this issue we complete the publication of Volume 19 of the Journal. Now you are being asked to pay your subscriptions for Volume 20, and no doubt many members are irate about the extreme lateness of the publication schedule, and considering whether they should renew or not. You therefore deserve an explanation on the current status of the Journal. I won’t paint an optimistic picture because that is not fact, but the true situation is not as bad as many of the rumours circulating. SUBSCRIPTIONS SECRETARY Why is the Journal late? The reasons are threefold. In the first instance production fell behind the MIKE MADDEN planned schedule. The reasons for this were manyfold, not the most insignificant, being the lack of a steady flow of articles. However, the production of the Journal is the Editor’s responsibility and when it falls behind he must accept the blame. The second reason was an acute lack of funds even when we had something to print. A past administration had committed the Society to quite a large debt and the Com­ mittee decided that it would be in the Society’s best interests to get rid of this debt as soon as possible: un- EDITOR fortunately this left us with something of a cash shortage, and when Journals were available for publica­ PETER MALONE tion there was a further delay as they had to wait for funds.

  • The Palm Oil Pioneer: Commander W.L
    SUSAN M. MARTIN MARTIN SUSAN M. The UP Saga Susan M. Martin Histories of the plantations sector in Malaysia have largely focused on the rubber industry and on the rise and fall of big British-owned colonial enter- prises. But since independence, the sector has entered a new phase of spectacular growth founded on the oil palm. This volume offers a radically different history by telling the fascinating story of United Plantations Berhad (UP), a firm of Scandinavian origin that has spanned both eras and evolved along quite different lines from the normal models of British imperial business. The book is also unusual in that the author had full access to well-preserved company records. Tracing the company’s origins before the First World War, The UP Saga describes the crisis years of economic depression, Japanese occupa- T tion and the turmoil of the Emergency, followed by Merdeka and the years he of spectacular growth that have lasted to the present day. ‘[The UP Saga] is expertly researched and is therefore a radically differ- UP ent history of the plantation industry. It offers the reader an authoritative and quite remarkable study … authenticated by the personal experiences The of many recognised experts in this field. … Through her work on The UP S Saga Susan Martin has produced a work of historic importance and great aga interest to all those interested in the development of the global palm oil industry.’ ~ William King, London Metropolitan University UP ‘Potential purchasers should not be fooled by the title into believing that this book is merely yet another company history.
