THE EXHIBITION
NATIONAL IMPORTANCE INCREASED BY WAR.
“The great majority of New Zealanders will share the confidence of the Government and the directors of the Exhibition Company that the huge national enterprise will be beneficial to the public during the war period from two very important viewpoints.” states “New Zealand Centennial “First, the Exhibition, which is thoroughly representative of New Zealand —its resources, industries, scenery, governmental and social institutions—
will be a very impressive reminder of things worth defending. The people will see the whole of their country in miniature, and will have their patriotic feelings stimulated by the splendid spectacles. Moreover, the human contacts, the meeting of folk from all parts of the Dominion, will have a cheering effect. Second, the excellent provision of all manner of amusements will have its proper value in <he necessary easing of the strain of war. “After all. there are still twentyfour hours in a day and seven days in a week. It is not good to have minds and hearts stretched ceaselessly on a rack of anxiety.”
