"The Commissioners have felt that it would he
desirable, far possible, to prevent any Der-
sons from sending hither articles which cannot h.
admitted, rather than to reject the articles afaev
their arrival in London. They feel also that the
delicate and responsible task Of deciding ON the
admission or rejection of articles destined for ex-
hibion by foreign contributors ought not 10 be inn
posed upon any English tribunal but should be-
referred to one rlving the confidence Of the exhi-
bHors themselves, and standing entirely free ftor,
possible .nputations of national partiutv. Thev
Accordingly propose to admit to exhibition suck
foreign articles only as may be forwarded to them
by the Central Authority whatever may be its
nature) in each country. They will commun;c.,.
to such Central Authority the amount ~ .,sc.
which can be allowed TO the productions Of m.
country for which II acts, and will also STATE ,h
conditions and limitations which may from tim.
to time be decided on with respect to the admission
of articles. All articles forwarded bv smch 60
tra Authority will then be admitted, provided fhs,,
do not require a greater aggregate amount ~
space than that assigned TO the productions of ~.
country from which they come ; and. provided
also, that they do not violate the Conditions ,rI
limitations Of which due notice shal 1have been
given. IL will rest with the Central Acthor;,v ~

take care that those which are sent are sncb ..
