12. General. — Your Committee think that considerable discredit 

 has been thrown on the planting community in general by a recent 

 letter written to the Singapore Free Press by Mr. E. V. Carey. They 

 think it only fair to point out that the abuses enlarged upon in his 

 letter have not to their knowledge occurred in this State and they here 

 record their opinion that the planters of Negri Sembilan have, as a 

 body, done their best in the interests of their employers.
