Abstract
IN choosing the subject of “Plantation Economy” for his presidential address to Section F (Economics and Statistical Science) of the British Association, delivered at Blackpool on September 11, Dr. C. R. Fay rightly directed attention to a neglected corner of knowledge which has lessons of much interest to the sociologist as well as the economist, to the historian, the geographer and the administrator as well as the agriculturist. Dr. Fay was clearly inspired by a recent tour in the East, and dealt mainly with the tea plantations of India. He contented himself with a straightforward account of the industry, and refrained, perhaps wisely, from comment on the wider issues.
