The Fair will reopen in May 1040. Finland, despite her difficulties with Russia, announces that she will return, but the other Scandinavian countries are withdrawing, Mr Firth favours the renewel of the New Zealand pavilion, but this depends on the availability of funds and the action of Britain and the other Dominions.
There were 4,000,000 visitor, to the New Zealand pavilion, and the travel and trade inquiries were encouraging. A decision is not necessary for three months.
