When I have said that, I should add that it appears to me that I should like some definite statement with regard to the basis on which the undertaking is to be taken over, because there, it seems to me, lieg the whole crux of the mater, If you take over the business of the Dock Co, are you going to take the land, so much for the wharves, so much for the plant, and the rest of it, or are you going to take over the business and pay something for the good. will?
