to consider an amendment to in- aluda me on the Board in the place of Mr. Pattanden, and in- stead of commenting on merits or demerits, Mr. Harston launched into a speech in which gratuitous legal services rendered by him involving many thou- sands of dollars was the theme. Are we to understand that be. cause one of the Directors carries on his professional avocations freely, gratis, and merely for the love of it, another Director must be retained?

Lastly, Sir, dealing with the ett spre in Tompsonas de cha auswer to questions 18, 19 and 20, I submit that a Director should have some
experience and knowledge of the under- taking . be
presumes to manage. His experience should precede his directorship, and not be gained during his term of office at the expense of the share- holders. The number of men whose services have been " test- ed," may be limited. but there are numerous men who will achieve greatness as opposed to greatness bring thrust on them.
Finally, Sir, is it an answer to say that because a thing has not boen done before it shall not be done in the future? Why not admit that my suggestion to throw directorships open to per- sons having large and important interests in the Company may hit at the very root of the condi- tions now obtaining?
Thanking you for publishing this letter.
