JAVANESE IMMIGRATION. 



Dear Sir, — I shall be much obliged if you will let me know what 

 action was taken by the P. A. M. on our preliminary report on the 

 question of Javanese recruiting. 



It is of course most important that we should go straight ahead 

 with the matter now but neither Mr. Maude nor myself are prepared 

 to pay all the cost of the visit to Java. 



I have so far only seen the newspaper reports of the Meeting. 



Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir, — I thank you for your favour of the lOth instant;-^ 

 Javanese Immigration. 



The Association at their last Meeting received your preliminary 

 report and instructed me to thank the Sub-Committee for the pains 

 taken and to address H. E. The High Commissioner in accordance 

 with your wishes regarding a letter from himself to the Governor 

 General of the Netherlands Indies; and I have since written to 

 H. E. accordingly. 



As regards your visit to Javj, the Meeting was unanimous as to 

 its desirability, but as this Association has no funds available for 

 any but current expenditure, they are unfortunately precluded from 

 offering to bear its cost. 



Believe me, dear sir, 



Yours faithfully, 



(Sd.) H. C. E. ZACHARIAS, 

 Secretary.
