The House of Common's adopted a resolution authorising the payment of £100,000 as the Government's share of the guarantee fund in connection with the forthcoming British Empire Exhibition.

Mr Xvellaway, in moving the resolution, said that there was no better way of celebrating the great part Ilaved by the Empire in the war than by holding in London this exhibition of the Empire's manifold resources and the' activities o<f its peoples. The guarantee was conditional on a guarantee' of £500,000 being forthcoming from private-sources. There was every reason to believe that the sum would be found. ft was necessary that manufacturers should find new markets, and the greatest hope lay«in the Empire.
