ANGLO-PERSIAN CHAIRMANSHIP.
Few Chairmen of our industrial concerns have received more striking tributes on the occasion of their resignation than those which were offered to Sir Charles Greenway when at Tuesday's meeting of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company he intimated that his resignation would take place on his return from a visit to the company's Persian fields early next year. Sir John Cargill, who has been in the closest association with the Chairman since the inception of the company, Sir Hugh Barnes and Lord Bradbury, all testified to the extent to which the success of the company might be regarded as a tribute to the genius of Sir Charles Greenway. From the shareholders, too, through Sir Archibald Boyd Carpenter, eame equally warm expressions of esteem and appreciation. Unquestionably, these tributes are justified by the great progress and the present general prosperity of the company, and concerning the future Sir Charles was able at the meeting to speak in very encourag- ing terms. * * *
