Abstract
IT was appropriate that the conclusion of an Anglo-Danish trade agreement should have been followed by the exhibition of the products of British industry, which took place in Copenhagen during September 18-October 2. The Danes were thus able to assess for themselves the variety and quality of the manufactures which would be entering their country, in accordance with the terms of the trade agreement, while British exhibitors and visitors were enabled to sample far more freely than has been possible in Great Britain during recent years the Danish produce which was the subject of the converse part of the agreement. One abiding impression of the exhibition is the happy and almost festive atmosphere in which it was staged. Welcome was in the air at Copenhagen—being British was a passport to goodwill. We, on our side, contributed an exhibition of the products of our industry and added for good measure a visit by a contingent of our naval forces, the picturesqueness of the Gordon Highlanders, the spectacle of jet-planes in full flight, and the two-decked utility of British buses. The Danes responded with unlimited enthusiasm, courtesy and hospitality.
