Young. Mr. Young was a Director of the Yangtze for 27 years and was Chairman for the last 20 years. He always took the greatest interest in the affairs of the Association with which he had been so long connected and I can -assure you we miss him very much.
I will now turn to the report and accounts for the year ending 31st Decem ber, 1913, and with your permission we will, as usual, take them as read,

This increased balance is largely due to the lower rate of exchange ruling on the 31st December, 1913, as compared with the rate on the 31st Decem- ber, 1912, the rate of exchange for 1913 being 2/7.5/10 per Shanghai Tach against 2/10 0/10 per Shanghai Tael for 1912.
