To fool and to spoof is a very

lieve us".
Contrary to the exhibits of
some countries, this pavilion
shows you the facets of the
average Englishman with all
his foibles and prejudices. It
breaks down at one or two
points to be serious and shows
portraits qf ,the men of Britain
who have gone before, each
contributing some tittle to the
tradition on which so, many
Englishmen feed. The poets,
scientists„ , doctors, actors and,
dramatists. All are here to
bearwitness to an amazing
nation. Surprisingly there was
no sign of Rudyard Kipling
amongst the authors, no sol.
diers, no sailors after Drake
and Raleigh. Not forgotten is
the glorious company of ad.
Venturers, the colonisers, who
_opened up vast'continents of the
world by their dogged deter.
mination. As anEuphrates Arab

family. The dogs each with his
