SHANGTUNG WAR

HOPES FOR SETTLEMENT OF TROUBLE SHATTERED

Nanking, Oct. 22. Hopes of a peaceful settlement of the Shantung affair have again. been shattered, following upon receipt of reports that Ian Fu- chu had launched a fierce artillery attack on Laichow, where Liu Chien-nien and several thousands his troops had been bottled up. It was announced from Peking only to-day that Han Fu-chu had realgned the Governorship of Shangtung, it being generally be lieved that his action was due to his inability to accept Nanking's orders to withdraw his troops to their original defence area.

Han Fu-chu's resignation was obviously a polite form of rofusal of the terms of settlement decreed by tho Control Authorities.---- Reuter,

WHY NOT HAVE THAT EXTRA THIRD?

The natural laws of economics require an investor to secure the best return especially upon savings--- trust funds-consistent with safety.

Businesss turnover 1931, 45,532,300 in land and mortgages only, which does not include manage- ment of estates, rent collections, insurance written. trustees for beneficial owners of property and sundry sources of income.

8% DEBENTURES

INCOME

8% INTEREST VS 5% INTEREST MEANS ONE THIRD MORE

The following extracts are takon from the Chairman's statement at the last annual Shareholders Mcoting, February 20th, 1932.

"We feel that the Debenture holder from an investment standpoint, is just as much an interested. partner of the Company as the Common Share- holder and is entitled to his just return on his investment, and by the figures given on the two years' working. I think we have amply proven that we were right that our Debenture holders receive eight per cent. interest instead of six per cent."

"The most successful concerns of the future will be those who recognize this principle-that even banks will allocate to depositors a part of profits earned on their money over and above current rates of interests. As our balance sheets show quite plainly the proceeds from the sale of our deben-

tures is not used for the purchase of Real Estate, as we are not speculators, but for investment in first class mortgages, amply secured not only by the value of the property pledged as security, but as a further security the debentures constitute a first An claim on the total assets of the Company. analysis of the figures involved shows that every debenture has behind it assets equal to three times its value."

"If after careful consideration of actual facts and figures you are receiving less than 8% upon your investments and/or savings, you are not using judgment but following old customs, believing 5% and 6% are current rates."`
