DOMINION DISPLAY AT WEMBLEY.
Pep Press Association. PALMERSTON NORTH, Juy 15 Great publicity lately has been given to the fact that, the New Zealand pavilion. at Wembley as an advertisement of the potentialities of the Dominion had utterly failed to reach expectations of visitors, and the Palmerston North Chamber of Commerce to-night, decided to ask the Government, to investigate these freelv circulated reports. The president, of the Chamber of Commerce (Mr H. L. Young), emphasised the serious effects an unworthy display would have on the Dominion, and urged immediate steps to see that the exhibits placed in th? pavilion should do justice to the country they represented. Another member declared that if the statements as published were true great injustice had been done to the Dominion. The chamber decided to support retention of the one per cent primage duty imposed as a war measure in 1915 and that, the several thousands sterling thus collected annually should be spent on advertising the Dominion. The support of the member for the district (Mr J. A. Nash), is to be invoked in the matter.
