PANAMA EXPOSITION
BRITISH REPRESENTATION URGED. Times and Sydney Sun Services. Received 5, 5.50 p.m. London, May 4.
A deputation urged Mr Asquith to reverse his decision regarding the Panama Exhibition.
The Times, in a leader, states that the feeling of the House of Commons is shown by the fact that 366, a clear majority, signed a memorial urging reconsideration of the matter, and that a British pavilion, costing a maximum of £IOO,OOO, ought io be erected for reasons of business, but especially for reasons of sentiment, the purpose of the
Exposition being to commemorate the greatest feat of American enterprise. The Government's refusal of the Presidential invitation had bewildered and exasperated the Americans, who felt snubbed and slighted.
