[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR, —When in Utrecht last
week, I could not avoid being struck by the absence of British Exhibitors at the annual " Jaarbeurs." International in character, this is one of the most important Fairs held in the Netherlands. It is fre- quented by buyers from many parts of the Continent, especially Germany, France and Belgium, and with the exception of agriculture almost every modern indtistry and manufacture is represented. American firms were well in evidence, but with- the exception of Messrs. Lever Bros., no British concern appeared to have secured space- Many of our manufacturers have committed themselves heavily at Wembley this year, but surety they are losing opportunities in the European market by neglecting real business gatherings such as Utrecht Fair, which is organized solely for buying and selling and has no side shows.—I am, Sir, &c., A. J. R. FRASER TAYLOR.
