BRITAIN'S REFUSAL TO EXHIBIT. ANTI-BRITISH OUTBURST IN AMERICA. (Received Last Night, 5.5 o'clock.) LONDON, August 3. Commenting on the anti-British outburst in some of the American papers, it is explained in London that Britain's refusal to participate in the Panama Exposition is due to the Board of Trade failing to induce sufficient manufacturers to incur the expense of preparing exhibits. The current opinion is that there are too many world's fairs. The refusal of Britain to exhibit has nothing to do with the Canal tolls. Germany, it is pointed out, has also declined to exhibit, not "being satisfied with America's guarantees respecting the protection of trade secrets. The "Daily Telegraph" states that out of twenty-two countries, only two great nations—France and Japanhave so far accepted. It is stated in Washington that Mr Bryan is trying to induce London and Berlin to reconsider their decision. . Several English papers point out that the British refusal is based purely on commercial grounds.
