Charles r. Forbes, chairman of the

Details of these reports were print

n. !. \. MAY VOTE
% PER Cent
Dividend J..

The proposal to increase the divi
dends to % per cent for \. Y. h
shares is being watched with keen in
terest in business circles, especially
those interested in the stock market
says The Japan Advertiser. Various
reports have been circulated, some OF
them influencing the market. But
so far nothing definite has been de-
cided. @....'...... ..
The board of directors Of the ". Y,
K. have been approached by section
Of Influential shareholders, represent
ed by Baron Go, to. ask for am in
crease of dividends and other neces-
sary changes in the company's bylaws
IN view Of the great profits the com
pany is realizing.
However. the board of directors, in
paying greater dividends, realize that
they must consider tho position of the
company as a subsidized concern. The
present subsidy for the European lin
ers was approved by the diet for a
period of four years, but the govern
ment contracted only for the first two
years, and this contract is to expire
at the end Of January next year What
the board of directors must consider
is that If the company pays too large
dividends there viii arise the feeling
that there is no necessity to substitute
a company making such profits; and
this would hinder the renewal of the
subsidy contract.
Moreover, the company has built
in recent years II vessels of the va.
saka Maru class and the building OF
these vessels was on the assumption
that the subsidy would be continued in
future years, and any steps that might
affect the subsidy question the CON-
paily does not like to adopt. That is
why the board Of directors have been
hesitating to comply with the desires
Of the shareholders.
