EMPIRE EXHIBITION
PROTESTS AGAINST AMUSEMENT TAX. MELBOURNE, July 8. Premier Bruce has joined in the protests against a proposal to impose the amusement tax on admission to the Empire Exhibition, on the grounds that it would remove any hope of a surplus. TRADE RESULTS ACHIEVED. LONDON, July 7. Asked by Sir Harry Brittain if there were any trade results from the Empire Exhibition, Mr Lunn said that inquiries showed that connections were being established which should result in a large increase in trade. He mentioned the purchases of machinery against Continental competition, orders for rails and steel products, sales of fruit throughout Britain, and numerous inquiries for Dominion produce and manufactures. He viewed the exhibition, however, even more as a means of propaganda and publicity than a market for immediate sales.
