To the Editor of the "NomTH-CHINA Dany News."
Sit—I shall be much obliged you will kindly insert the following jin your esteemed paper.
There are many public companies, registered under "the Hongkong Ordinances in which the Chinese thaid substantial interest but are not represented on their Boards of Directors. Such inadequate - or rather non-representation of the Chinese on the Directorates has been discussed among the Chinese bu ness men who are of the opinion that their interest would be better served by having a representative at the Boards of such companies. For an instance I would cite the Shanghai Mutual Telephone Ca. Ld. In spite of the fact that a great many of the shareholders ang subscribers of the company are Chinese, yet there is no single Chinese figure among the dir-actors of the company. Tt would be desirable and mutually beneficial to the foreign and Chinese communities if steps were taken to redress this grievance by the appointment of at least one Ohinese director to the Board of this company.
It is my opinion that the time has come that other such companies should act likewise. With a better ang closer understanding of the Chinese viewpoint on any matters particularly concerning them, such 4 step would be conducive ili promoting and fostering that spirit of and tend to conciliate the present somewhat strained feelings due to insufficient interchange of views and ce-operation in matters of mutual concern, Tam, ete, Yur.
