[95] In those early days they seem to have been averse to trade, and they have remained so, for even today the "big business" is all done by the white man or the Chinese. The wholesale business is controlled mostly by the Chinese, and the retailing b}^ the Arabs and Chinese together (with the exception of the white men's stores, tokos, for white men's custom), while the Javanese simply keep the small eating- places, warongs, sometimes in connection with notion stores. As there were few Jai'anes...e merchants, the Hollanders were of necessity compelled to deal with the political chiefs of the different nations.^ But while the first foothold in the islands was a result of compromising with the sultans, in the course of years it became apparent that slowly but surely the white man must be the protector of the native against the descendants of the very princes with whom the original treaties were made, and today the orang blanda, or white man, is the bulwark of protection for the simple native dessaman (villager) against the descendants of his fonner native rulers.
