Enclosure. [Translation op Letter.] The Secretary of State, — London, 16th August, 1929. I have been instructed and I have the honour to let your Excellency know that the attention of Monsieur the Minister of Industry, Labour, and Social Service of Belgium has been drawn to the interest that would attach to the inclusion at the Antwerp Exhibition in 1930 of exhibits relating to town-planning, architecture, and modern decorative art in English colonies. The most useful purposes in this matter are, in fact, to draw upon the experience acquired in the dominions and British dependencies whose climate approaches that of our colony. In consequence, I would be very grateful to your Excellency if you would be good enough to interpose your good offices with the competent authorities with a view to obtaining, if possible, the inclusion of such exhibits at the International Colonial and Maritime Exhibition to be held at Antwerp in 1930. I take this opportunity to renew to your Excellency my assurances of the greatest consideration with which I have the honour to be. Your, &c., Pce. Reginald de Croy, Charge d'Affaires ad int.
