With EXPO '67 now well on
the way to become the greatest
show the world has ever seen, di-
rectors of the mammoth ex-
hibition can look hack to the re-
cent past when there was some
scepticism ahead --- and they can
do it and know that historically
speaking. they are in good com-
pany.
You have only to delve Into the
pages or "Albert. Prince Con-
sort." a bingranhv by Hector
"•olitlio. to realize that the jeal-
ous, the extremist. ,and others,
have always Isnekerl at the Pedes-
tal of every great undertaking.
Albert, as the hook relates,
spent much of his time on
rnyi, rir e nt rshibition, and on
answering its enemies, for he
was perhaps the greatest pro-
proponent of the Great Exhibit-
ien in Hyde Park in 1851,
Writing to his brother, he re-
smirked that extremists in the
Church thought the plan, arrogant,
curl likely to hring wrath from

Olaf the Briti::h isles would he-
flooded. with cheap goods; doct-
ors threa toned plague and the
arrival of hordes of foreigners

Prince for suggesting TTyde Park

reported that ;Miens were renting
