and/

it stands to reason, therefore, we think, that if it is

at all possible for any British Government Overseas to

support a British house, then everything else being equal,

preference should be given to British concerns. The

severity of competition nowadays in business all over, warrants

a much closer co-operation between British firms and British

Government Officials, with a view to expanding British trade,

but we rather fear that if the same spirit as has been prevalent,

according to our observations, continues to be manifest, it

must surely have a disadvantageous effect on the final results

of any such ambition.

We would just like to assure you that,

so far as we are concerned, our whole aim in business is to

advance British industry as much as possible, but this can

only, in the end, be accomplished if we have co-operation too.

We hope we shall be privileged to receive

a favourable reply from your Lordship in due course.

We have the honour to be,

Your Lordship's most obedient servants,

ΤΟΥ,

COLFIX (FAR EAST) LTD.,
