C. 23827.

INDO-CHINESE DEVELOPMENT SYNDICATE, LIMITED.

29, Mincing Lane, London, E.0.

The Secretary to the Treasury.

Dear Sir,

26th November, 1918.

In reply to your letter dated 22nd November,

C. 23827 "Capital Issues", we beg to say that our Company is a private one, but it is contemplated to transform into a public Company when circumstances permit.

The proceeds of the proposed issue for casa

will be very largely allocated towards the purchase in

this country of the following:-

Manchester goods and general necessaries.

Up-to-date machinery for a flour-milling factory.

Refrigerating plant.

Machinery in connection with rubber plantations.

Zino smelting machinery.

Road-making material.

Saw mille.

Material for harbour works, etc.

It is impossible at the present moment to detail

the amounts to be applied to the various purchases, thoug

they will naturally be considerable, and reports to hand

from our General manager in the Colony snow very clearly

that, given the necessary facilities, this fresh field

for British trade and enterprise will become quickly and increasingly important.

The money to be expended abroad will be

entirely in connection with the salaries of staff and

labour, and constitutes only a very small proportion of the funds required.

The names of the present Directors of the

Syndicate are:-

/John
