"Great Britain is grossly and unpardonably ignorant of the Empire. I suggest that the Education Department consider ordering schools to devote two hours a week to the Empire's geography," said Sir James Parr, opening the New Zealand exhibition in St. Paul's Churchyard. He emphasised that the Dominions and colonies absorbed nearly halt Great Britain's manufactures, but a greater development of trade was possible. The argument for trade with the Argentine was the British investments there, but Australia and New Zealand were more deeply in debt to Great Britain; also, despite the insolvency of many producers, the Dominions had always met their obligations. The Dominions should be consulted before Great Britain's treaties with foreign countries were revised. It was unthinkable to ask young, undeveloped countries to check thenprogress by restricting exports, although a temporary-periodic regulation might be necessary. Sir James added that it appeared likely that the meat negotiations would lead to a long-term solution satisfactory to the Dominions. The exhibition occupies a shop with six display ■ windows, which feature types of produce. Those present included Mr David Jones, chairman of the New Zealand Meat Board, Mr D. Mason, Sir Percy Harris and Sir Robert Hamilton, M's.P., and Mr H. Pilbrow, chairman of directors of the "British Trade Review."
