The closing of the galleries of Europe will result in the opening of the treasure houses of American art. For nalf a.century American collect- ors have been transporting priceless objects of European art from the Old World to the New. The close-hung galleries of public and private Ameri- can museums may be relied upon to more than make good any weakness in foreign-owned’ exhibits. The Americans and the Orient are able to create a wonderful exposition bythemselves. There will, of course, be a strong representation from the European countries not at war. It will be a world’s fair in every sense and worth the crossing of seas and continents to witness. - San Francisco falls heir: to the American experience garnered in the creation and handling of the St. Louis and Chicago expositions.
