JWf::W::x: EDITORIALS Fair Setback What had been widely heralded as the world fair of 1964, which w to be held at New York that year, has now turned into something which may not be quite up to what people have been led to expect. The British Government announced a few days ago that the British Government would not exhibit at the New York Fair of 19G4-19G5. Moreover, it is expected that similiar announcements may come soon from France and Italy. The reason is simple, though it has not come to light sufficiently until n o w. There is a Bureau of International Exposi tions, with headquarters at Paris, which approves or disapproves of world fair projects. Last November the Bureau turned down the New York fair proposal, in favor of sticking bv earlier approval of the Seat tle World's Fair of 1962. Under the rules of the Bureau only one such fair can be approved in a specified zone in every ten year period. New York fair officials sought to re verse the ruling but have failed to obtain satisfaction. As a result, Great Britain will not build a government pavilion. Nor will several other countries. And it should be recalled that the pavilions of many of the countries bound by the Bureau were a mong the most popular at the New York World's Fair of 1939. Meanw hile, the head of the New York project, Robert Moses, says plans will go ahead for the 1964 exposition and that it will be held regardless of the international bureau's decision. He says that private in dustry and businesses will probably have exhibits representing their countries in cases where the countries officially de cline to participate. The snafu over the proposed world's fair in New York is disappointing. After getting official U. S. Government endorse ment of the project and having announced it as a gala world fair, the decision of ma jor nations not to participate certainly de tracts from the prospects of the New York fair. It is difficult to understand why plans went so far in the face of Seattle's gaining earlier approval for a world fair in 1962 if New York expected foreign govern ments to officially participate in the 1964 New York exposition. It seems now that we in the United States will have two fairs, both billed as world's fairs, in the space of two years, and this is certainly not the most desirable approach for American ef forts in this international field.
