that committee that 1.-The voting trust will
assure an honest administration of the So

holders. and in view of the delay in the con-
summation of naturalization. the present
plan is entitled to the support of the

the power to nominate directors to
fill the existing vacancies in the board.
the power and duty to hereafter elect
majority of the directors upon the
suggestion of the policyholders themselves,
