Sir John Chancellor To Be Member Of Board London, Oct. 20.
The first meeting of the Colonial Empire Marketing Board, formed on May 6, was held at the Colonial Office to-day. The markets for Colonial produce, declared Mr. William Ormsby-Gore, Colonial Secretary, must be studied and additional outlets found for them. He was sure the Board would not try to impart instructions to, say, tea and rubber companies or markets, but would find their principal work in the field of less important Colonial products.
He announced that Sir John Chancellor, Chairman of the Agricultural Marketing Facilities Committee and of the Permament Livestock Commission and former High Commissioner for Palestine, would be a member of both the Board and also of the Colonial Development Advisory Committee to ensure close contact and ce-operation between the two bodies.—Reuter.
