are coming from London describing the success of the Colony at the British Industries Fair, more especially as they emphasise realisation of the primary stand at the object of possessing a
interesting world-wide exhibition →→→ buyers in our finished products. Hong- kong's association with the BIF over the past four years has increasingly fulfilled expectations and has done more than anything else to draw the atten- tion of British, Continental and Commonwealth buyers to the growing range of well finished articles which our light industries and enterprises are capable of putting on the market. It was the wide variety of articles on display at the Hongkong stand which captured the attention of His Majesty the King when he visited the Fair on Tuesday, and, as our London corres- pondent has pointed out, the value and distinction of our exhibits that they are practical and there- fore appeal greatly to purchasing agents. It is to let the world know that Hongkong possesses industries and factories that can turn out useful as well as ornamental commoditics at competitive prices and of appreciable "quality that the Colony is represented at the BIF.

mission points up the great value of the Colony's manufactured commodities being given a worthy display at the BIF. Through their exhibition those able to supply raw materials in Britain and on the continent can judge for the how genuine are themselves Colony's needs and how worth while it will be to give Hongkong every possible assistance in providing for her require. ments. Our display at Earl's Court, this year more than any other time, demonstrates that Hongkong can pro- duce useful commodities which needed in other parts of the world. And it proves conclusively to any Doubting Thomases
that our Industries have become an Integral part of the Colony's economic prosperity. These are impor tant facts to be made known overseas. Mr U Tat-chee sagely made the point In his speech to the China Association. The world is frequently misinformed about the Far East in general and Hongkong in particular, and his remark that "It needs the guidance of the constant clear voice of sanity and truth" will be wholeheartedly echoed in this Colony. Through no fault of its own, and to some extent because of misinformed and ill-informed opinion in the United States, Hongkong has been cut off from substantial supplies, of essential raw materials. We share, however, the confidence of the Colony's BIF delegation that theso can be made good from other sources, and we bellevo the personal approach which is being made by our industrial representatives now in England, willbear. happy. results. Mr U Tat-chee will do well to repeat his challenge made this week to the Ching Association: "I know. 'you will step forward with us to give proof! thất (commerce cannot, and will not retreat”””)!
