The Chairman draws attention to the fact that no mention is 
made of the incidence of the expenses of the suggested visit to Java; 
and that the P.A.M. had no funds to meet this expenditure. 
Mr. Gibson thinks every effort should be made to broaden the 
base of their labour force. 
Mr. Macfadyen proposes that the letter referred to by Mr.

Mr. Fox seconds the proposal which is carried unanimously.
