Sir HERBERT MATTHEWS,

Formerly Secretary, Central Chamber of Agriculture - of England says:~~

In the case of New Zealand Perpetual Forests I am perfectly satisfied that the necessary provisions have been made to protect investors, and I am also satisfied that every undertaking given by the company is bolag adequately and efidently fulfilled. The company makes it clear in its prospectus that the Enancial returns from the plantations, when the forests are rasture and realianble for pulpwood or timber, are necessary conjectural The company has, how- over, snught the hopest and competent opinion of exports as to the financial returns that can reasonably be expected from each crop, and I think that bondholders can look forward with confidence to receiving returns in due course that will at least, approxitate their estimates, and may perasps exceed them.
