Why not two such bodies, which could hardly fail to find authcient work for the individual scope of each, and could support each other on matters that one alone had take for its special field? The appointment of a British Commercial Attache in Strung hai, and above all the enormous changes which must arise out of the war suggest KOMOR & KOMOR new arguments for a British, as opposed to only & General Chamber of Com ART UNION EXHIBITION OF
