Doubtless American ideas on this British Empire
exhibition will vary widely the viewpoints.
1t is intended to show the whole Of the British
Empire in miniature-in 241 acres the outskirts
OF London. It's main purpose is to advertise the
resources of the empire to stimulate British trade
to restore prewar activity and prosperity. Brit
ons will tell you that it the great industrial
fair given in Hyde Park in the middle of the last
century that gave England industrial supremacy
To restore that supremacy is the first purpose OF
this fair Richmond Temple, one of the directors,
said recently in New York.
"This exhibition is gigantic effort the part
of our ndusrialists to pay our debt and to
re-establish the prosperity enjoyed prior to the
war All parties are behind it. The whole busi-
community of England, Scotland and Wales
has for two years given its first attention to the
Details England must sell her goods and must
sell them to other countries besides the United
States, in order to pay the $157 100000 In gold
which each year has to be sent to this country.
We, therefore, decided that in order to attract the
buying public of the world TO our goods would
have The biggest shop window built, where
the goods of the biggest empire in the world might
be displayed. In it the needs of the most exacting
shopper in the most remote corner of the earth
can be satisfied"

evident as that it is intended to cut into American
trade with the British dominons For the British
