Washington May Get
World Trade Show

Washington, Jan, 2S.-The plan to
build a great permanent international
trade exposition near the city as pro-
posed by the Chamber of Commerce
and Board of Trade has been received
with approval by the two leading COM
mercial bodies of Florida. Those of
other states will be asked to endorse
the scheme.
L. Sanders Perkins, a former Ten
nessean, who spent several years in
Florida, has returned from a trip to
that state.
Would Invite Nations.
While at Jacksonville, Mr.. Perkins
heard the suggestion that representa-
tives of the commercial organizations
of the United States and Central and
South America, and other foreign ma
lions be invited to attend convention
at Washington in the near future.
81 hope" he added, that the work
of the Washington Board of Trade will
finally result in making Washington
the most important and interesting
city on the globe. In order to realize
this ambition, however, the founda-
lions of the proposed permanent ma
tional exposition must be laid with
an eye to the future. At least 1000
acres will be required to properly ex-
plot this idea. The land should be
selected with view to facility Of
transportation from the city, health
fulness of location, and good founda-
lions for buildings.
Plan Of Lease.
"One-half of this great tract should
be offered to our States on practically
perpetual lease for the purpose stipu-
lated; the other half should be offered
to the foreign nations on the same
terms. 1t would be fitting If in the
year 1915 we could celebrate the first
half century of peace between the
States by the Inauguration Of perma-
nent State buildings at Washington;
and If we could then see Great Britain
begin the erection Of her trade palace
