Kuala Lumpur, 
25th November, 1910. 
Dear Sir, 
As you are no doubt aware, an International Exhibition of Rub- 
ber and Allied Trades will be held next year in London. 
It goes without saying that it is essential for the Rubber Industry 
of the Malay Peninsula to make an imposing show on this occasion ; 
in fact all preparations for doing so have already been actively taken 
in hand by this Association in conjunction with the Governments of 
the Federated Malay States and Straits Settlements. 
The expense entailed has been estimated at $15,000, out of which 
sum $10,000 remain to be raised by the parties most concerned, viz., 
the proprietors of the rubber estates in this Peninsula. It is now 
proposed to create a special fund for this purpose, and to ask each 
estate to contribute towards it a sum not exceeding $200 ; the surplus, 
if any, to be refunded pro rata, when the accounts are closed. 
I enclose a duplicate of this letter, in case you wish to refer this 
question to your principals, and trusting to be favoured by you with 
the substantial support that this matter so amply deserves. 
Believe me, Dear Sir, 
Yours faithfully, 
H. C. E. ZACHARIAS, 
Secretary.

ments, and the Director of Agriculture, Federated Malay States.

I. That, to avoid unnecessary duplication of letters, all corres- 
pondence, regarding the Exhibition, between England and Malaya, 
should be carried on between Sir William Taydor and the Director of 
Agriculture, Federated Malay States.
