BRITAIN'S REPRESENTATION.
STRONGLY URGED BY "THE TIMES."
(Per Press Association—Copyright).
LONDON, May 5
. A" deputation waited bn 1 'Mr Asqui, . and urged that the decision of the Government in connection with the representation of Britain at the Panama Exposition should 3'be reversed.
The "Times," in a leading article,' states that, the feeling of the House of Commons is shown by the fact that the memorial urging that the proposal should be reconsidered has a clear majority of 366 names. A British pavilion costing a maximum of £100,000 ought to be erected for reasons of business, but more especially for reasons of sentiment, the purpose of the Exposition being to commemorate the greatest feat of American enterprise. The Government's refusal to accept the Presidential' invitation has bewildered and exasperated the American people, who feel that they have been snubbed and slighted.
