London, S.W., September 21, 1907.
I AM directed by the Board of Trade to advert to your letter of the 16th August, on the subject of the future management of the Imperial Institute, and to say that the whole matter has now been considered by the Imperial Institute Advisory Committee, who have offered no objection to the arrangements contem- plated by the Departments concerned as set out in previous correspondence. As a consequence, and in accordance with the suggestion made in your letter under reply, the management of the Institute will be entrusted to the Colonial Office from 1st October next.
In making this communication I am to suggest, for Lord Elgin's consideration, the desirability of an officer of the Colonial Office being instructed to place himself in communication with the Finance Department of the Board of Trade, in order that he may acquaint himself with the method of keeping the Institute accounts.
