CHARLES A. Preston, Worlds Fair COM
missioner from Hayti, is in Chicago with
the plans and specifications for Haytis
government building, which he will
present to the directors of the fair for
approval. incidentally, too, he will ask
for more space. Interest in the fair, he
says, is increasing very rapidly in tho
gulf island, and the present space is far
from adequate for the exhibit Contem-
plated.
Hayti has never exhibited at any
worlds fair, and is particularly anxious
to appear we'll here, because as re-
public she looks upon the United States
as an older sister, Hayti having been the
second country in the new world to
shake off European rule, and because
her commerce with the United Stae s is
more than twice that she has with all
other countries combined.
Their building, It is hoped, will be the
second foreign structure to be started. It
will cost about $4,000 and contain pro-
ducts of her agriculture, forestry and
mineral wealth; also historical display
to show the,steps of her fight for freedom
from France. S
