A itself to be coerced into relinquishing its rights or changing its statute was made at a meeting of the board by the vice- chairman. M. Edgar Bonnet.

""There has been much talk lately of eliminating the Suez Canal Company for the exclusive benefit of the users of the Canal” M. Bonnet said. "The management of the great maritime high- way by a private company, we are told, is an anachronilam.

"It is said that the shareholders have had their day and are now parasites or even criminals, and that the time has come to hand
