Once again four of the Empire's workers are to show the Empire at work, from their personal experience.
Life in an Indian State
This Empire worker lived for six years in Hyderabad, working in the Indian Civil Service. One night he might be attending a party given by an Indian prince in conditions of inconceivable opulence; next day—150 miles off-he would be overhauling the accounts of a native co-operative society, a third of whose members were sunk in debt beyond hope.
Tobacco in Nyasaland
This worker had to supervise the seed, sowing, cultivation, grading of the leaf.
A district as big as Hertfordshire, about 7,000 natives growing, tobacco. He will tell of the curing of tobacco over open wood fires. Striking camp, his porters natives. On the march, high grass depositing ticks in his arms and legs. Day after day-through most of the year.
District Officer in Malaya
This speaker will describe work in a district that has vast areas of dense forests, and a dozen rubber estates; the smallholders Malays, the labourers mostly Chinese. An infinite variety of work, from administration of justice to assisting at a major operation on an elephant.
Tea Planting in Ceylon
In Ceylon, as opposed to Assam, there are no seasons of cropping. Tea is plucked and manufactured all the year round. A Ceylon tea planter is to describe an average day's work. Checking accounts, magistrate to his coolies, going round the fields, inspecting the factories, attending the mail, visiting the estate hospital.
