"The Commissioners have felt that il would he

sons from sending hither articles which cannot be
admitted, rather than to reject the articles after
their arrival in London. They feel also that the
delicate and responsible task of deciding on the

bitors then 4t.ves, and standing entirely free from
possib" .iputations OF national partially They
accc .ngy propose to admit to exhibition such
foreign articles only as may be forwarded to them
by the Central Authority (whatever may be its
naure) in each country. They will communicate
to such Central Authority the amount of space
which can be allowed to the productions of the
country for which 1t acts, and will also state the
conditions and limitations which may from time
to time be decided on with respect to the admission
OF articles. All articles forwarded by such Cen

do not require greater aggregate amount of
space than that assigned to the productions of the
country from which they come and, provided,
also, that they do not violate the conditions and
limitations of which due notice shall have baep
given. II will rest with the Central Authority in
each country to decide upon the merits of the
several articles presented for exhibition. and 70
take care that those which are sent are such as
fairly represent the industry of their eIlow-coun-

"Her Majesty's Commissioners will consider

| Having once been put in communication with a
Central Authority in any country, they must de
cline, absolutely and entirely, any communication
with private and unauthorized individuals and.
should any such be addressed to them, thew can
only refer to a central body. This decision is
essentially necessary, in order to prevent con-
fusion.
No articles Of foreign manufacture to whom
socver they may belong, or wheresoeyer they may
be, can be admitted for exhibition unless thew
come with the sanction of the Central Authoritv
Of the country of which they are the produce.
The Commissioners do not insist upon such srti-
cles being IN all cases actually forwarded bv the
Central Authority, though they consider that his
would generally be the most satisfactory arrange

such authority should in all cases be expressly
given, and that it be held responsible for th. fl
ness or such articles for exhibition, and for not
authorizing the exhibition of greater quantity
than can be accommodated in the space assigned
to the productions of the country in question:"
