That might soood ilke a novel suggestion, it was nov.l in Shanghai, but it was got novel in the commercial world where there wasa directors on the Boards of com panies in which they had little or no interest. In order to arrive at some scheme by, which that might be worked-out, it was necessary first of all to appolat a Committee. He had en deavored to show what he thought could be done-what was practicable. They would have to start on a small scale; .but whether or not this scheme was practicable it was for this Committee to decide. A Committee should therefore be appointed meeting to consider this suggestion that he had made and als other suggestions. There had been made the suggestion of a great trust to take over she companies, Uther suggestions had been made His proposition was that all these schemes should begiven to a Committee whoshould care fully consider them and make a farther report the Shanghai public or this mesilag, expressing their oplaton whether or not this or any schema was practicabla Ee had found the greatest difculty in getting a Committee, but four or five gentlemen had allowed their names

A number of preliminary steps and a good deal of preliminary work had to baacdertakes before that could be arrived at. Ha had heard again and again men sy that it was quite hopeless to get good companies to amalgamate with rotten ones. That might might not be to;a great deal was premised in saying that these companies wero rotten. They had a value, and it was necessary to find out the value of these before an amalgamation could ba brought about It had been suggested that it was pot possible for a general smalgamation d' all the companies, but that at any sate there might be a preliminary amalgamation of companies lo groups. Companies which were geographically contiguous to one another might usite, then the amalgamating spirit would grow, and they would seek for a wider amalgamalion. It was said that the shareholders of the stronger com- paties absolutely refused to consider any sort of amalgamation, that they were satisfied that their companies were on a good basis, did not require any assistance, and did not think any benents were to be derived from an amalgama tion "There were at any rate a number of weaker companies-10, 12, 15 or 10, be did not know how many-but there were comparien that might. amalgamate with the best of ad
