COMPANY MEETING.

PENINSULAR & ORIENTAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.

THE AGELEMENT WITH THE BRITISH INDIA

COMPANY.

1.

An extraordinary general meeting of the stockholders of the Peninsular & Oriental Eteam Navigation Company was Feld on the 24th ult., at the offices, Leadenhall street, Sir Thomas Suther- land, G.C.M.G,, the chairman, presiding, for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing a resolution Approv ing the conditional agreement, dated the 27th ult., between the British India Steam

Navigation Company (Limited) and the Company

The Secretary (Mr. F. J. Abbott) having read the notice convening the meeting,

The CHAIRMAN soid-Ladies and gentle- men, 12 years ago or thereabouts I suggested to my friend Sir James Mackay, now Lord Indicapo, that it would be an excellent business, if possible, to combine the working of our two. Companies pro- vided suitable arrangements could be made. My friend concurred entirely in my view at that date, and we had several conversations on the subject, but nothing was ever written down on paper, because the issue depended upon the opinion of the then chairman of the British India Company, Mr. Duncan Mackinnon, whose position was that he was so contented with the British India Company as it was, and so proud of his own particular position. as chairman, that he discouraged any alliance with any other Company, even with & Company so respectable as our (Laughter.) The project was therefore abandoned in toto, and was. never revived again until the 3rd of March, 1914, according to the date which I took in my own diary,

own.

DENIAL OF RUMOUNS.

I mention this old history because it has so often been publicly stated within the last two or three years that we-or, at all events, I had a most rooied objection. to combinations of this character, while, as you perceive now, nothing of the kind. could have been further from the fact. But when the gambling set in our stock two years ago There was not the shadow of a combine in front of this Company, and we stated so publicly on various ocensions with a view to save unfortunate people from great loss if they were led away by those who pretended to know our affairs better than we knew them our- selves. I find that even to-day there is, apparently, a tendency in certain journalistic directions to revive similar rumours, but I can assure you that such rumours to-day have no more foundation than they had two years ago. I need hardly tell you that this very great agree ment which we put before you to day bas nothing whatever of A speculative character about it. We may feel pleased with ourselves that during three months our negotiations were kept with absolute- secrecy, and that at last the result broke upon a surprised City world on May 22nd last,

Now, if you will kindly glance at the outline map which is behind my chair and which, I may say, is not absolutely accurato in all respects you will per- ceive easily the natural tendency of these two companies to come together sooner or JOINT lator Our operations, it is truc, are not identical altogether. The British India Company has an enormous coastal trade around India towards Persia, the Straits! Settlements, and the East Coast of Africa, while we, on the other hand, as you are aware, cover those long lines of communication which identified with the Imperial mail service intimately of this country. But we converge at many points, and if we are united, it surely follows as a matter of certainty that we shall command a strength, an efficiency, and, I would fain believe, also with confidence, an economy which separately, we can neither of us ever possess We have always been friends, and close friends, of the British India Company and, I may say, of all the other lines running in competition with ns; but this is an age of fierce competi tion, and among the best of friends there is scope for rivalry and jealousy. It is the least merit of this new agreement that any danger of that kind is eliminated between these two companies. We have acquired practically the whole property and goodwill of the British India Com
