Abstract
THE importance of a Government department to deal with exhibitions could not have been better exemplified than when the King of the Belgians opened the new British section of the Brussels Exhibition on September 19. Exactly five weeks previously the section which had cost so much in thought, time, and money was reduced to a smoking mass of ruins. For a moment everyone was stunned by the extent of the loss, but within a few hours it had been determined to rebuild the section provided the reply received from previous exhibitors was satisfactory. The replies were not only satisfactory, but almost overwhelming; in fact, more space was applied for than the Commission had at its disposal.
