GOVERNMENT'S POLLUTION-PREVENTION BUDGET APE EXAMINED. DESPITE GENERAL ACCEPTANCE OF THE CONCEPT
THAT THE POLLUTER "(1ST PAY, THIS PRINCIPLE IS NOT FULLY APPLICABLE WHEN, FOR EXAMPLE, THE COST
OF REMOVING POLLUTANT SLUDGE ACCUMULATED OVER YEARS AS A RESULT OF UNP.S3ULATED DUMPING OF
INDUSTRIAL WASTES IS PROHIBITIVE WHEN COUPLED WITH INDEMNIFICATION COSTS TO THOSE WHO ARE VICTIMS
OF POLLUTION-CAUSED ILLNESSES. IF THE POLLUTER CANNOT PAY, SOME ONE ELSE WILL HAVE TO. CLOSING
DOWN THE OFFENDING COMPANY IS NO REASONABLE SOLUTION, GIVEN THE ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES INVOLVED.

IN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, ACCIDENTS, AND QUALITY PRODUCTS. THE BASIC FUNCTIONS OF INDUSTRY
ARE DIVIDED INTO THE ECONOMIC AND THE SOCIAL SPHERES. WHEN PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ARE IN SHORT
SUPPLY AND THE ECONOMY SLUMPS, INDUSTRY IS CALLED UPON TO EXERCISE ITS ECONOMIC FUNCTIONS. BUT
IN TIMES OF SUSTAINED ECONOMIC GROWTH, SOCIETY EXPECTS INDUSTRY TO TEND TO ITS SOCIAL FUNCTIONS.
HIGH IN THE HIERARCHY OF SOCIAL FUNCTIONS IS ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION. RECENTLY, THE AUTHOR
CL?IMS, THE DRIVE FOR HIGH PROFITS HAS SOMEWHAT DILUTED CORPORATION ETHICS, RESULTING IN AN
INCREASED PUBLIC CONCERN ABOUT BUSINESS BEHAVIOR. INDUSTRIES MUST THEN 3IVE AMPLE CONSIDERATION

THIS DISPATCH, BEARING A KUALA LUMPUR DATELINE, REPORTS ON A GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY

IN LATE NOVEMBER 1973. HEALTH OFFICIALS IN MALAYSIA CONSIDER FECAL POLLUTION A MAJOR PROBLEM, BUT
INCREASING INDUSTRIALIZATION, URBANIZATION, AND MOTOR TRAFFIC ARE GIVING PTSE 10 OTHER PROBLEMS.
IN ADDITION TO THE CONTROL OF HATER, AIR, AND SOIL POLLUTION, THE ENVIRONMENTAL OUALITY ACT, AS
DRAFTED BY THE GOVERNMENT, WOULD ALSO PROHIBIT THE DISCHARGE OF OIL INTO TERRITORIAL WATERS. IT
WOULD ALSO GIVE THE MINISTER IN CHARGE OF THE ENVIRONMENT THE AUTHORITY TO IDENTIFY SOURCES OF

DEMANDS FOR THE INTERNALIZATION OF SOCIAL COSTS; GROWTH AND EXPLOITATION; MINIMAL TOLERANCE LEVELS
AND THE REGULATION AND LIMITATION OF ENERGY USE. AMONG THE CONCLUSIONS REACHED ARE THE NEED TO
INTERNALIZE EXTERNAL'COSTS SO THAT THE COSTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE ARE BORNE BY THE CAUSING
INDUSTRIES AND THE NECESSITY FOR QUANTITATIVELY LIMITING ECONOMIC GROWTH AND SO MODIFYING IT THAT
A TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES IS PREVENTED. THE AUTHOR ALSO FAVORS THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
MINIMUM TOLERANCES FOR THE USE OR POLLUTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES SO AS TO PERMIT BIOIOGICAL AND
