noted that there were possibilitics of British food and automobile
exhibitions in Hong Kong in the reasonably near future. On past experience, such exhibitions were successful in Hong Kong; although
department store promotions were of doubtful.value.

to make such visits long enough for them to achieve results and that Missions aimed or Japan were not always appropriate for Hong Kong in timing and composition.

doubtful of the value of seminars as a means of interesting Hong
Kong industrialists in British products.
