Pope) relating to the New Zealand exhibit at the Panama Exhibition, and inviting, the president (Mr. Norwood) to becomo a member of the Jooil committee to. assist jii preparing the exhibit. A conference of the local; committee with .the Prime Minister is to be held on February 26. There was a general discussion on the possibilities of good following a display of New Zealand products at the Exhilition. All the members of fho committee agreed, that,it would, be quite absurd for New Zealand manufacturers to exhibit at San Francisco, 1 with the idea of- getting business thereby. It would, however, advertise our country if there was a good displav of our primary products for which there was a demand in America.' One. suggestion that: found general favour was' that .there! should bo a man employed at the exhibit whose duty it would be at certain of the : day, to show 1 people over, the exhibit and Wture to them" oil New Zealand and. )n the. display. , Mr. J V .
