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, 
(Sd.) H.J. COOPER,

Dear Sir, — I thank you for your favour of the 10th instant re 
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 Java, 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, 
Secretarjn
