THE NORTHERN HALF
Stg,—Mr. Philip Carr, in an article in last week's issue headed " Selling Britain Abroad," rightly says : " The Englishman 'pleading for England in another country is suspect to anyone who is not already pro-English." The inhabitants of the Southern section of Britain are comparatively un- known abroad, as the work for Britain in France and in Brazil is largely done by its Northern inhabitants, who are most popular on the Continent and in Latin America, and there is no call for " pleading." The British Chambers of Commerce abroad are also largely composed of Scots, and the work they do, as I know, does compete with the much larger staffs employed by the Chambers of Commerce of other nations. " Honest and simple English fare " lacks variety, as our foreign visitors complain, but that again is confined to England, and does not apply to Britain as a whole.
