BRITISH ENGINEERING IN CHINA.

WANTED, A SELLING ORGANIZATION

The following letter was published in The Times of March 11th:

Sir, I would appeal through your valued columns to British manufacturers of machinery, plant, steel, and allied trades for the formation of a selling 1 organization that shall put the British engineering and constructing community on a par with organizations that exist for dealing with our competitors' goods in China and the East generally. It is not generally known that an organization, under the very able management of a gentleman who was at one time repre senting a very large and successful. German engineering, frm, now exists in Shanghai for the better representation of German engineering interests, and so much success has attended the efforts to push forward German goods that the scope of the organization is to be enlarged, and representatives placed in every provincial centre.

What our manufacturing community needs is a passive organization incapable of taking orders for its prin- cipals, but an active, well-informed association, represented by men who are technical experts, who speak the language, kaow the local conditions, and are approved by the Chinese community. The officials of the only organization we possess have been at some pai is to point out to me that. the functions of that organization is not to get business, but to watch and report to their principale in London but I think that the East will agree with me when I state that what we want is not to watch but to act; too long we have been watching-watching con tracts going to others-and the time is now ripe when we should act. It must be apparent to anyone that if it is presum ably necessary for one German group, who represent 35 firms, to have a staff of over 70 technical and commercial experts most of them speaking Chinese, assisted by over 20 Chinese gentlemen who in the past bare all held Government positions, it is certainly necessary for an organin tion that is representing over 200 British firms to have at least as many representatives in China as the Germans find necessary for their 35 firms,

China cannot be considered as one country in the European sense, as our Consular Service found after some 40 years' experience. No organization on
