“I don’t think I met a New Zealander in England who was not disappointed with New Zealand’s exhibit,” said Mr R. Caughley to a “Post” reporter. “When the officials arrived Home tho arrangements were in a much more backward state thani they had anticipated, and it involved a great deal of night work to get the exhibits to anything approaching expectations. On the other hand, Eng lish people who visited the New Zea land court liked it, as the exhibits were new to them. But the fruit on sale was very adversely commented on. both as regards price and quality, and the opinion was often expressed that it would have been better not to sell any.”
