Abstract
DURING the coming months Wembley will present itself under many aspects to a multitude of visitors drawn from all parts of the world. Whatever may be their final impression, and however their interests may guide them among its varied attractions, it can scarcely escape the least imaginative that the British Empire Exhibition embodies a great ideal. To a multifarious variety of exhibits representative of all sides of a complex and highly organised civilisation is added the colour derived from differences of race and culture, of climate and of soil. Yet beneath the obvious appeal of a bewildering variety is a dominant sentiment—the consciousness of Imperial unity which has grown up largely during the present century, and, quickened by two wars, has now attained its greatest material expression in peace time in the present exhibition.
