MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if the Irish Department of Agriculture will take steps to have a special exhibit of Irish industries at the St. Louis Exhibition.

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM,) Dover

The Department understands that should it undertake the organisation of a special Irish Exhibit a pavilion for the purpose of such an exhibit would be provided from American sources. With the approval and co-operation of the Royal Commission, the Department is prepared to organise such an exhibit on the condition mentioned, and is at present in correspondence with the Royal Commission on the subject.
