WORLD S FAIR IS
URGED FOR LONDON.
Proposal Submitted to House Of
Commons Not Favored by
Prime Minister.

journal Special Service.
London, April liza proposal to.
hold q worlds fair here in 1908 was.
submitted last night to the house of;
commons by Mr.. Fell. It drew an ex-
preston Of doubt from Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman, prime minister,
as to whether the commercial COM
munity would welcome such a fair. He
said he was willing to consider any
evidence in favor Of it, but many pre-
liminary matters would have to be con-
sidered before the government would
decide to support such movement
financially as Mr.. Fell had suggested.
The incident has started newspaper
discussion as to the desirability Of
holding fair. Opponents Of the
scheme believed that displays Of Brit
ish manufacturing and commercial
methods would teach foreigners too
much. They are not moved by the con-
tention Of the British commissioners to
the st. Louis exposition that British
manufacturers lost orders thru not ex:
hibiting there. They see only that for.
eign, especially European competitors
receive object lessons enabling them to
run British manufacturers closer in
competing for the world s trade.

Schulz will plead tomorrow and If he
