Events

In view of excellent work already done in England by Mrs. Thompson representing Trade Fair five thousand square feet having been definitely booked and numerous promises received for space reservations it would be regrettable if time limit is not extended to organisers for producing proof of support. arising from His late Majesty's death and present international disturbances prevented organisers from concluding arrangements, would Government consider keeping concession open enabling organisers postpone Fair if necessary. Would appreciate cabled decision to Britindho London.
