BRITISH TRADE WITH DENMARK

RENEWED EFFORTS A BID FOR RECIPROCAL TRADING Mr. V. Kronman, secretary to tlio Anglo. Danish trade relation of the Twelve Men's Unions of Denmark, recently visited Londpn. He came to England, he said, in the first., place as the guest of certain Englishmen, who wanted to hear more about the possibilities ol" increased trade between England andj Donmar!:, and in the second place to

investigate Die directions in which this trade could he increased. "J had no ether object at all," he continued. "But it appears that in ';'">me quarters my presence has been suspected as being due to some dark design against the British Empire. and in particular against, the success of the approaching conference at Ottawa. The idea, that this is at all possible is flattering but inaccurate, "It has been said that the Twelve Men's Unions are propaganda bodies. This again is wrong. They are as> sociations of Danish agriculturists, and my mission from them is to ask you if you will sell us more of your -'.oods. "We are offering to your pec pie an extended market in a wide range of articles. To that, end we have organised an exhibition, which will take place in Copenhagen in September, larger than lias ever been held in Denmark before, and entirely fo) the sale of British goods. It. really is not reasonable to see in this any deep-seated design to imperil the success of the Ottawa Conference. The Copenhagen Exhibition was ai\ ranged two aneH a-half years ago, and the announcement: at the time was received with universal approval in the English Press. "The Federation of British Industries is taking a very active share in ensuring the success of the exhibition, so if we arc sinning we do so in good company. "If overseas trade is to continue in the world in the future, there could not be a better case of reciprocal advantage. .We can put at.

the; service of yicur people, ivithin three or four days, the products of a highly organised agricultural industry that lias studied in detail the requirements of tlie market here. In return we want, to employ the manufacturing districts of England in supplying us with the many articles we need in our factories and in our daily life."
