"The control of this Company was acquired by the Union In- surance Society of Canton, Lid. in 1010. Since then much has happened in world affairs and with changing conditions in the Far East we now find that the operations of the Company could be more economically effected by the absorption of our underwrl ing representations Into the parent Company or into one of its subsidiaries. With this end in view, it is considered desirable | by the Directors that the Com- pany should be placed in volun- tary liquidation.
