EMPIRE EXHIBITION.
SYDNEY- PLAN OPPOSED. POSSIBLE ABANDONMENT. CANBERRA. Jane 2. Strong opposition was evinced by members of {.he House of Representatives to a bill to authorise the Commonwealth Government to appropriate £500,000 as its share of the expenditure on the Aus-tralian-British Empire Exhibition, to be held at Sydney in 1932. Federal, and State members alike were not enthusiastic for fear of a huge loss on the project. It was urged that there were far better ways of advertising Australia. The Primo Minister, Mr. Bruce, said it was highly likely that the bill would bo dropped and the exhibition abandoned.
