As the Hotel Company is generously placing all this accommodation at the disposal of the Committeo entirely free, it is probable that, as last year, It will not be necessary to make any charge to exhibitors.

The first thing the Committee needs is to receive applications for space from British firms. An indication of the area required should be given as this will help later in the allocation of space. Last year several intending exhibitors were regrettably excluded on account of the lateness of their applications. Letters should bo adilressed to:
