THE EXHIBITION
REASONS FOR FINANCIAL LOSS. OUTLINED BY CHAIRMAN OF DIRECTORS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON. This Day. Contributing causes to the financial loss on the Exhibition were explained by Mr T. C. A. Hislop, chairman of directors of the Exhibition Company, in opening the centennial conference of the Commercial Travellers' Association today. The Exhibition has now under four weeks to go and had been a success, but not a financial success, Mr Hislop observed. Floor space that would have brought in a certain £50,000 has been pencilled in, but by a stroke of the pen that had been taken away, import restrictions preventing intending exhibitors taking part. That loss was equivalent to 6s 8d in the £ to shareholders. In addition war and the petrol restrictions had had an adverse effect, but there would still be an attendance of over two and a half millions.
