ANTWERP EXHIBITION.
DOMINION NOT REPRESENTED. Per' Press Association. AUCKLAND, May 16. A London cable message published yesterday stated that a party of journalists were impressed with the advantages of the British and New Zealand site at the Antwerp Centenary Exhibition, for which Sir Edward Luytens had designed a building costing £IOO,OOO. Hon. J. G. Cobbe, Minister of Industries and Commerce, declares that Cabinet has decided that New Zealand will not be represented in any way at Antwerp, not because the other Dominion declined representation, but because the heavy cost was not commensurate with the results likely to accrue.
