British participation in the Brussels Congress was arranged for by a British 
Committee, and at a meeting of this Committee, held at the close of the Congress, it 
was decided to take steps to hold the next Congress in London, in accordance with 
the unanimous desire exoressed at a General Assembly of the International Association. 
A British Section of the International Association has been formed, which will be 
responsible for the organisation of the Congress in London in 1914. 
The work of the Association is not only of interest to Departments of 
Agriculture and Forestry throughout the Empire but also to planters, and to merchants 
and manufacturers who are concerned with tropical and colonial raw materials. 
It is essential that a large membership should be secured for the British Section in 
order that the London Congress may be successful, and it is hoped that all interested 
in tropical agriculture and development throughout the Empire will join the British 
Section of the International Association. 
The annual subscription for members of the British Section is one pound, 
payable on the 1st January in each year. 
Members of the British Section will have the privilege of taking part in the London 
Congress without further special payment. They will also receive the publications of 
the International Association as these are issued. In addition, the quarterly “Bulletin 
of the Imperial Institute” will be supplied to them free of charge. A reading and 
writing room will be reserved at the Imperial Institute for the use of members of the 
section when in London, and members will also be entitled to make use of the general 
library and reading-rooms of the Imperial Institute. 
Subscriptions may be paid by crossed cheque or money order, payable to the 
Secretary, British Section, International Association of Tropical Agriculture and 
Colonial Development, and, in the case of money orders, should be drawn on the 
General Post Office, London. 
Letters and subscriptions should be addressed to “The Secretary, British Section, 
International Association of Tropical Agriculture and Colonial Development, Imperial 
Institute, London, SAV. ”
