Having once been put in communication with =
Central Authority in any country, thew must de-
cline, absolutely and entirely. any communication
with private and unauthorized individuals /; and.
should any such be addressed to them thew cau
only refer to central body. This decision IL
essentially necessary, in order to prevent con-
fusion.
No articles of foreign manufacture, to whom
soeyer they may belong, or wheresoeyer thew NAV
be, can be admitted for exhibition unless thew
come with the sanction Of the Central Authorize
Of the country of which they are the produce.
The Commissioners do not insist upon such art,
cies being ~ all cases actually forwarded by the
Central Authority, though they consider that this
would generally be the most satisfactory arrange
ment; but 1t is Indispensable that the sanction Of
such authority should in all cases be expressiv
given, and that it be held responsible for the e.
ness Of such articles for exhibition and for not
authorizing the exhibition Of greater ouantitv
than can be accommodated in the space ass;g, a
to the productions of the country in question:
