those of all the other islands and

countries of the Caribbean, been

trying harcUto develop a tourist

trade, as an additional source of

income. This is the purpose of

the forthcoming exposition; to

call attention to the country’s de

lightful climate, its scenic ad

vantages and its colorful life. But

the opposition has condemned the

project as unnecessary, costly and

a waste of the people’s money.

Nevertheless, short of a wholesale

upheaval, the exposition will be

inaugurated in early February. A

commemorative ceremony will be

held on December 8, the original

date of the opening.

Among the foreign governments

which will participate are those of

Prance, England, the United

States, Vatican City and a num

ber of the Latin American and

European Nations. The pavilion

being built by this country will be

used later to house a Haiti

United States cultural center and

United States information bureau.

are to be permanent structures

to be utilized afterward for hous

ing government departments and

schools.

paper publisher puts it, “we are

and have been trying hard to

attend to our own business.”
