Sir F. D. Lugard's Memorandum with enclosures was circulat-

-ed to these gentlemen confidentially and on the 27th.

In accordance with the decision

arrived at at the Meeting, a Sub-Committee was elected to

T. J. Gresson's place as Head of the Firm of Messrs.

Jardine, Matheson and Company, Limited, was added to the

Committee and Sub-Committee.
