It is an enormous relief to feel that the extraordinary
muddle that had grown up round the management of the British Empire Exhibition has been cleared up.. The Executive Committee have passed a resolution embodying the chief recommendations. in Sir William Joynson-Hicks' Report. Differences, personal and other- wise, now at last seem to have been adjusted, and it may be hoped that the work will go on free from the opposition and discouragement from which it has hitherto suffered. The Dominions, who were becoming restive at the signs of internal strife, have been reassured. We read, for instance, in the Cape Times, a -very warm article -on South Africa's opportunity in the-Exhibition, declaring that she will never regret expenditure on "-a bold display in the world's greatest shop-window." That the window will be a worthy and a beautiful one no one who has seen the plans of the Exhibition or the glorious Stadium, truly fit to rank with theatres of old Greece or Rome, 'can possibly doubt.
