The Chairman in moving "That an Association be formed to be call-

Chairinan's Review of the Position
SOME ADVANTAGES OF POVERTY AND
BACKWARDNESS
At the Annual Meeting of the Bank of China, beld last month in Shanghai the Managing Director, Mr. Chang Kia Ngau gave a very comprehensive report on the Bank's operations in 1959 and on the agri- cultural, commercial and industrial developments in China.
It was revealed that the net pro- fit for 1932 was $1,947,019.69 and a dividend of per cant amounting
to $1,729,819 was declared.
In the course of his remarks, the Chairman said:-" During the past year China has been faced with a crisis greater and more serious than my previously experienced during the period of the Republic. In a more highly developed and centra- lised State the economic, financial and political difficulties which our. country has encountered during the past year might easily have result- ed in chaos, but in China the loose. ness of our organisation, the al- sence of means of conïmunication, the elementary natura of our business institutions, and the gener The case in which Mr. M.
