In conversation with a Straite Times representative Mr. Boulter stated that he was appointed by the British Board of Trade. The prim- nry duty of a Trade Commissioner, he explained. was to foster the ex-T.15) port trade of Great Britain, to re- port what opportunities existed for the extension of, that trade and the best means of utilising them, and to create opportunities where fav. ourable circumstances existed. A Trade Commissioner must also aim at extending the trading interests 812,70 of Great Britain in the widest sense of these words, and at in. ercnsing trade.relations within the Empire as a whole.
