GRAND 1938 OPPORTUNITY

THE CHINA MAIL, JANUARY 13, 1938.

EXHIBITION OF

TONKINESE ART OPENED

For a voyage home to England by the Palatial Cruise Liner

The first Tonkinese art

of

to be

held in the Colony, was opened by M. F. Dupuy, Consul de France, at the French Bank Building this morning before a large gathering of art lovers.

M. M. J. B. Montargis who was res ponsible for the organisation of the ex- hibition said that it did not pretend to be the best and the most complete which could be offered to-day.

"We have limited our field to Art and handicraft, leaving aside deliberately, archeology, raw materials, products and big industry..

Madame Duport, Delegate of the In- dochina Government, gave us the sup port of her valuable experience in ar- ranging the rooms, and I am pleased to announce that in a few days, Mr. Lacollonge, President of the Union Touristique in Northern Indochina, will be among us with most interesting in- formation about Tourism in Tonkin and the rest of Indochina, ⠀

I claim once more your indulgence for an effort, the first of its kind in Hong Kong, which is only a trial made with modesty and goodwill to bring closer contact between two neighbours working under the flag of two countries for which there is no abyss between East and West."

CONSUL'S REPLX

M. Dupuy, in reply, said:-
