ANTWERP EXHIBITION.
NEW ZEALAND DISPLAY. SHARE IN BRITISH PAVILION. Australian Press Association —United Service (Received May 15, 12.55 a.m.) LONDON, May li. New Zealand is very fortunate in being associated with Britain in a joint pavilion at the Antwerp Centenary Exhibition. The Overseas Trade Department has obtained what admittedly is the best site in the exhibition. It is situated on an eminence which dominates the whole of the grounds. British journalists visited Antwerp to inspect the work in progress. They were impressed by the advantages of the Brit-ish-New Zealand site, on which Sir Edwin Lutyens has designed a striking building which will cost £IOO,OOO. British officials hope it is not too late for Australia to reconsider her decision not to participate. As originally planned the pavilion was to represent the entire Empire, but at present only Britain, New Zealand, and the Crown Colonies are participating.
