This is a real advance in the education of the public and in the value of the exhibition. The exhibition opened on January 16 and con- tinues through February 26. FRENCH EXPORT TAX ON ART REVOKED The French Senate has ratified the action of the Chamber of Deputies abrogating a tax on the exportation of works of art.
