Macao: A Base for Rental Pan and Refugee Trade
Macao, Feb. 7. The tiny Portuguese colony in the Far East, called the Monte Carlo of the region, remains a light Chinese irritant despite its small size. With under 5,000 full-blooded Portuguese among about 200,000 residents, Macao is a melting pot where Macanese is spoken. During wartime it drew refugees to as many as 450,000, with Japanese moves limited to harbor bombardments and diplomacy playing a larger role. Governor Cmdr. Gabriel Mauricio Teixeira and British consul John Reever led efforts to buffer the colony from Japanese pressure, including subsidies for thousands of refugees and a clinic. As evacuation continues, prices fall and the challenge is to reestablish trade while fending off Chinese pressure.
