EMPIRE EXHIBITION.
TO BE HELD IN LONDON. AN AUSTRALIAN PROPOSAL. SYDNEY, April 17. An interesting discussion regarding exhibitions took place at to-day's eitting of the Trade of Empire Royal Commission. Mr Wunderlich (the president) and air O. C. Beale (formerly president of the Federated Chambers of Manufacturers) strongly advocated the holding of a British Empire Exhibition in London. They pnipbaticaily declined to consider an iniernationol exhibition.
Mr Wunderlich declared the opinion of manufacturers was that nn Empire exhibition would effectively mark the progress of Australian industries, provide new outlets for Australian productions and manufactures, and would produce an all-TOund advantage for Australian manufacturers. An exhibition where sales could be made would advertise Australia where its advertisement was most needed—among legitimate immigrants— by showing the resources and the potentialities of Australia.
Sir Alfred Bateman remarked that it had been stated that British manufacturers were "fed up" with exhibitions. He was of opinion that they would be unfavourable towards the proposed Empire exhibition.
