32. Captain PETER MACDONALD

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether any progress has yet been made in connection with calling a conference of hotel, catering, and other tourist interests to consider ways and means by which a greater sum of money can be made available to encourage travel to this country?

Lieut.-Colonel COLVILLE
