EMPIRE EXHIBITION.
THE NEW ZEALAND COURT
“The British Empire Exhibition at Wembley, which was opened in May hut by His -Majesty the King, affords striking proof of the Empire’s capacity to become selfsupporting without recourse to foreign countries,” said the Prime Minister in the course of the Financial Statement last night. “Some disappointment has been expressed with the exhibits in the New Zealand court. Apparently the exhibition was oponed before the buildings were completed and before all the Dominiorf' exhibits had arrived. Great' improvements havo since been effected in our court, and recent visitors havo expressed themselves very favourably, especially with regard to the excellence of the display of refrigerated products. The New Zealand court is now thoroughly representative of our most important industries and hon. members can rest assured that no effort i 3 being spared to see that New Zealand’s display is worthy of the Dominion.”
