Let me say at once that both land and unsclinery were bought with a view to utiliza-

*To article 2 of the Articles of Associa- tion is added the following paragraph, No. 5:-" All aequisition of land, whether in Tonkia or elsewhere in view of starting industries or exploitations of any kind cou nected with the needs of the Company,"
