The answer is that inquiries have made it clear that the Committen'will be able to gat what is wanted, that we shall shortly be able to pay the interest out of earnings and that we shall' bava ample funds to meet the interest before that time arrives. You must not be led away by: the wild talk indulged in by interested parties. who say that nothing can be carned for at least four years. The Old Dock property should be completely developed in twelve or at most fif teen months, and eighteen months will be suff- cient to develop the property on the other side. I am told that we can begin to earn something *HE leading English Newspaper in China | before everything is completed. The objection Also widely circulated in Japan, Cochin that if we wait longer we shall get more for the land appears to me particularly futile. The Chun Ceylon, Indiz and the Far Eastenult of offering the land for sale shows that zenerally.

ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT.
The Hongkong Telegraph is the best medium for advertising in China. It circulater
the present offer is favourable, and it would be' foolish to wait an indefinite perind in the hope of getting an extra lakh or two when we can send up the value of the property immediately by developing it, and earn a handsome dividend into the bargain., You must not forget that capital at 7 per cent doubles itself in about ten years, but there is no prospect of our land, if left undeveloped, increasing in value at that rate. I wish strongly to impress upon you that if you pass this resolution you will simply authorize the proposed Committee to carry out the project if they find it feasible. Without your authority they can do nothing for in stance, they cannot make arrangements for placing the debentures. We pledge ourselves that at the Confirmatory Meeting the Com- mittee will present a full report in which they will inform you whether the estimates of ex- penditure are within the mark, whether the profits expected are likely to be realized, and whether the debenture money can be raised without any difficulty. If you are not satisfied with the report, or if in the meantime a better offer, has been received, you need not confirm your decision of to-day and you will have lost nothing. On the other hand, if you pass the resolution, you will obviously be in a much stronger position for dealing with any offer that inay come along. There is some vague talk of expected offers, and you will make it clear that they must be better than Tis. 1,380,000. In other words you start competition which is healthy, and under any circumstances the report of the Committee will be an excellent Special attention given to affectively display advertisemepi as it will show what can be dona with your property. Gentlemen, we are pass. ng advertisements,

This is an honest and practicable scheme which mea well able to judge are convinced will be very profitable, and the opposition to it in certain quarters shows that success is anticipated. Seeing that you will have an opportunity of reversing your decision at the Confirmatory Meeting, if not entirely satisfied with the report of the Com mittee, I urge you to give it a chance and to see what the able and experienced men to be nominated under the next resolution can do for you.

not necessary for me to say anything further I would like to say it seems to me that seeing the amount of dead assels which we hold in this company that it is a business-like propozi- tion that we ourselves should take up the question of developing these dead assets, for the benefit of the shareholders, in this com- pany.

with the matter that there does not appear any. thing left for me to say by way of elucidation This I would like to say. I have been into the matter somewhat closely with the promoters and, as Mr. Taylor will tell you if you ask him, all the awkward questions misplaced ingenuity could suggest. In the end I had to admit that taken all round the schen was sound and feasible. At any rate one thing was perfectly clear; it was no device on the part of the bulls or bears to boost up or to run down the shares of the company, but a business-like and genuine attempt to turn a non-dividend earn- ing asset into a dividend-carning one. We ought to look at the mutter in the dual capacity ul prospective shareholders in the new company and shareholders in the Dock Company. Really and truly our interests are 20 identified that it is impossible to dis- tinguish between them. Now as to the scheme itself. As far as my limited experience goes there is room for another godown com. pany in Shangbai, and i believe one which will take for its motto civility and efficiency is EXPRESSES tolerably sure of success. (Applause). Of course in a commercial undertaking there is al-

ways a risk, and we shall no doubt have our lean years as well as our fat ones. But I cannot help thinking that a fair return of capital over a series of years is practically certain. I should like to emphasize the point that, granted a new godown company is to be started, we are tho people of all others at the present "moment best suited to start it. We have already got our shares in the Dock Company, and we shall continue to get a return on them, perhaps of Tis. 18 or 20 a year (laughter) so we can wait for the completion of the development of the property in a way that others, who had to pay- | for, their shares in cash, would be unable to do.
