To the hope of increasing the revenue for the Government I have to take into consideration, besides the conditions of the con tract, the ability and floancial position of the persons in quez- uba. Mr. Yeh continued: "1 hope that the capitalists wil discuss directly with those who are intending to take up the enterprise and in whom the capi
Laliste have confidence, that B definite plus 420 be made. Begarding the protection of the investors by the Government, I will do my utmost to consider the interest of investors. Moreover, I hope that the intending contruc tors, instead of competing with each other, will exoperate so that there will be materially dad fusncially mere influential results." conclusion, Mr. Yeh said: want to make it public that I have nover empowered any persum sa my representative in the pegpli. ations in this matter; nor have f promised any defizite, persona tu have the contract."
