Dear Sirs,

With reference to previous correspondence on the subject of

the British Empire and China Trade Fair which you propose to organise

during December, 1955, I am directed by the Coersåttoo of the Chamber

of Commerce to corroy their appreciation of your ourtesy in placing

full information before the Special Sub-Cassittoe vhlok was appointed

to enquire into the project, in response to requests for advics fro

members of the Charber.

the

It is realised that you have already done a good deal of

preliminary work. Nevertheless, the General Condtive urges upon you

very seriously in your own as well as in the general interest

desirability of postponing the Fair for at least another year, or wit÷1

uiti)

conditions are more favourable. In the present chaotic state of the In

world's exchanges, merahants are confronted with inar:asingly difficult

ouniitions, all operating against a free flow of trade. In these cirqu

stances, a True Fair could not have any beneficial effect. All the

signs point to a further international effort being undertaken to re-

establisł. the world's carencies on a satisfactory basis and when the #

has been done efforts to increase the flow of trade are much more likely

to be successful. To do so before, would be to taice a dangerous risk.

I am, dear airs,

Yours faithfully,

(3gå.) #. P. Kary.

Secretary.
