SEEKING CONTROL OF DOCK COMPANY ACQUISITION OF IRON RESOURCES (united press association—copyright.) (Received June 13, 12.5 a.m.) SINGAPORE, June 12. Reports from Bangkok state that important Japanese interests are bidding for control of the Bangkok Dock Company, of which the biggest shareholders are United Engineers, of Singapore. The reports are unconfirmed, but it is stated that the Japanese are most anxious to increase the docking facilities, at Siam. The Japanese control Malayan iron mining, and since 1921 9,000,000 tons of iron ore have been exported to Japan. The latest extension is an option over a .Perak property valued at 1,500,000 dollars, and estimated to hold 7,000,000 tons of ore.
