NUCLEUS OF GUARANTEE FUND
(Per Press Association Copyright.) (Received August 11, t).5 a.m.) LONDON, August 9. The House of Commons adopted, a resolution authorising the payment of £100,000 as the Government's share,of the guarantee, fund in connection, with the forthcoming Empire Exhibition. Mr, Kellaway, •■ in moving the resolution,' said, there was ho better way of celebrating the great part played by the Empire in the war than by holding in London this exhibition of the Empire's manifold resources and the activities of its peoples. The guarantee was '; conditional on' a guar- 1 antee of £500,000 being forthcoming from private sources. There was every reason tbo believe the sum would be found. If, it was' necessary our manufacturers should find new kets our greatest hope in that connection lay in the Empire. : \
