firms say they think it can be run permanently by "willing

Lay-Out. Several firms stress the necessity of

enclosing the Exhibition in a single area, to facilitate

regulation of the crowd. Several also urge that there

should be more space between stands. Two firms say late

applications for space should be refused; one says,

"late alterations spalt our exhibit"

I have received no reports from Dominions and Common-

wealth Exhibitors, beyond one verbal message from an

Hongkong of the articles exhibited, he has been able to do

a useful business since May in provisions and canned goods.

Yours faithfully,

(Signed) W.F.KEY

Hon. Secretary.
