BRITISH MOTOR SOCIETY
NOT EXHIBITING AT WEMBLEY DENIES FOREIGN INFLUENCE. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, January 20. A statement has been issued by the Motor Manufacturers’ Society. After announcing that the meeting was the most representative gathering of the motor industry ever held, it unanimously confirmed the previous decision regarding exhibiting at Wembley, and denied the assertion that the society’s attitude was influenced by foreign interests. It also pointed out that the British Cycle and Motor Cycle Union had adopted the same attitude, while the Motor Society laid down the same policy towards British industries and fairs organised by the Department of Overseas Trade.
It was announced on January 14 that the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders had forbidden its members to exhibit at the Empire- Exhibition. It warned members disregarding the ban that they would not be allowed to exhibit at the annual Olympia Motor Show. Sir Lawrence Weaver suggested that the embargo was due to the influence of a foreign member of the society who could not show at Wembley.
