Third International Rubber and Allied Trades Exposition. 



Dear Sin—I take pleasure in informing you that the Third 

 International Rubber and Allied Trades Exposition will be held at 

 the New Grand Central Palace, 46th to 47th Street and Lexington 

 Avenue, New York City, from the 23rd day of September, 1912, to 

 October 3rd, 1912. You will probably remember my name as the 

 organizer of the successful rubber expositions in London in 1908 

 and 191 1. Further particulars will be sent you in due course, and I 

 trust that you will give the exposition your kind support. 



Yours very truly, 



(Sd.) A. Staines Manders, 



Organising Manager. 



P. S.— My friend, Mr. Henry C. Pearson, Editor of the " India 

 Rubber World" has very kindly consented to become the Vice- 

 President of the exposition. 



No. 3 in 7950/1911. Kuala Lumpur, I2th December, 1911. 



Sir,— I am directed to inform you that a Rubber Exhibition will 

 be held in New York in October next and that the Government has 

 under consideration the advisability of arranging for the Federated 

 Malay States to be officially represented. I enclose a copy of a letter 

 which has been received from Mr. A Staines Manders, Organizing 

 Secretary, and I am to enquire what prospect there is of Planters in 

 the Federated Malay States taking part in the Exhibition and what 

 financial support may be expected from them towards defraying the 

 necessary expenses. 



2. A letter has been received from Sir. W. Taylor stating that he 

 has been making enquiries as to how the proposal is regarded by the 

 Rubber Growers' Association and others in Great Britain connected 

 with the industry, and he is informed that the proposal has been 

 received with favour generally and that the impression appears to be 

 ^hat Plantation Rubber interests might be benefited. 



3. The expenses are likely to be greater than the expense in- 

 curred in connection with the recent exhibition in London.
