THE SHOP WINDOW OF THE EMPIRE. “ The Wembley Exhibition is more than the shop-window of the Empire. It is panorama of its busy industrial life, a living picture of tho manners and customs and homes and local sur- 1 roundings of some of its myriad races, I from Newfoundland to South Africa and Australia, from Singapore and Delhi +o Vancouver, On its industrial side it is rich, not only in working and stationary models of machines and machinery| but in examples of the actual machines as they arc used in tho workshops; in some cases the work of production can be followed through all its stages from the raw material to tho finished article. For all these products of human hands and brains represent tho work of millions of men and women of all faiths and tongues and colors, hut all subjects of the same King and loyal to the same flag; all ; are evidence of the efforts which the i Empire is making to compass that re- j viva! and development of tho peaceful arts of commerce which is. essential in , the well-being of its vast population, and through them of the whole world, is to he ensured.”—‘Times’ (London).
