THE
ENGLISH-SPEAKING WORLD.
BY EVELYN WRENCH.
THE announcement that the Executive Committee • of the British Empire Exhibition has definitely accepted the recommendations contained in the report of Sir William Joynson-Hicks will be welcomed by all who desire that next year's " Empire Fair " at Wembley shall be a great success. Much valuable time has been wasted, and it is to be hoped that the Executive, under the very capable chairmanship of Sir James Stevenson, will now be able to forge ahead with its preparations. Certainly no better choice for the position of chairman could have been made. Besides his great experience as a business organizer and as a member of the Army Council, Sir James Stevenson has travelled in most of the Dominions, while his recent experience at the Colonial Office should be very useful.
