A humorous column riffs on wartime rationing and politics, contrasting Congress with common folk. It jokes that Congress passed the income tax while the public dares not, laments marriage as a lottery, and mocks a runaway asylum escapee as crazy. The piece ends by noting readers preferring the modern glare to candlelit nostalgia.
The article traces Sarawak’s transition from Brunei control to Brooke rule, noting 1863 independence, 1888 protectorate status, and Brooke family rulers. It mentions a 1918 stamp featuring Sir Charles Iner Brooke, the Rajah, and recalls a 1840 agreement where James Brooke aided a suppression, leading to Sarawak’s cession. It also notes oil wealth at Miri and fears wells would be destroyed if seized by Japan.
