THE BANK OF CANTON, LTD.
The following report of the Board of the Directors to the shareholders of the Bank of Canton, Ltd., bas been issued>
Our attention has been drawn to the draft of an Enactment "to make provision for the registration of certain residents in the F. M. S. says the Pinang Gazette. In the "objects and reasons," it is stated two war measures will be repealed, because they are no longer neces sary, but it has been thought advisable that the provisions regard mg registration of male Fritish sub jects of military age who are not members of the local Volunteer force should not be allowed to lapse, Accordingly, those affected will be required to register. To begin with, readers who have lately been treated to further criticism of the authorities for failure to take up the question of the registration of Asiatic servants, may manage smile, probably a wry one, when To write off Under- writing Commission a/c
