Third International Rubber and Allied Trades Exposition. 
-Dear Sir,— 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 1911. 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 
that 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.
