Manila, June 19.
The Philippines exhibit at the Saa. Francisco World's Fair may be forced to close because of a lack of funds, the "Herald" reported today.
Sr. Arsenio Luz, director of the exhibit, twice cabled the Secretary of Finance, Sr. Manuel Roxas, requesting 30,000 pesos in order to maintain the exhibition and pointing out that the closing would be detrimental to the interests of the Philippines, the "Herald" understood.
Sr. Roxas was reported to have replied that no Governmental funds were available at present for the exhibit—United Press.
