the ne counts which appear to me to call for Spreial Coment are the increases

under the headings of Total Stocks in

Trade and Land at Honam, Car

Canton. As regards the former, the Canton strike

is largely if not entirely responsible. In oneder to cope with the expanding busi- ness of our Canton branch, we ordered more largely than usual for their re- quirements, which,

to the strike, resulted in a lock-up of stocks that were Dot needed. However, these stocks will be utilised this year and enable us to reduce our indrata .Ag regards the lat ter, the addition of 843,700,75 is repre
