Lack of New England Cooperation Threatens 1975 Expo
Boston may host the World Freedom Fair and International Exposition in 1975, but a Dec issue editorial by The Automobilist of the Automobile Legal Association warns that longstanding New England state cooperation is lacking. Governors endorsed the idea, yet past joint efforts ended in disasters such as a failed New England pavilion at a World’s Fair and a collapsed tourist office. Vermont alone runs the office as other states pull out, underscoring the need for a united regional front to attract exhibitors and decide the expo’s location.
