Is Canadian wheat experts delved into Musty records tuesday night to pull out statistics which showed Canadian Farmers were pushing their wheat to country As rapidly As possible to Aid food Short Britain and other hungry countries. While the experts acknowledge movement of wheat to the United kingdom during the autumn encountered Many obstacles great efforts were made to overcome them and by the time navigation closed in the St. Lawrence and the great lakes the Canadian wheat Board centred at Winnipeg was making Progress with 194647 commitments. Wheat will flow from the Atlan tic and Pacific ports at a Normal rate during the Winter with the Prospect that Canada will achieve her undertaking to provide Britain with bushels of wheat during the crop year which began ast aug. 1. The decision by Washington to allocate bushels of wheat o Britain Iri january instead of the bushels tuesday touched off a series of questions n the British House of commons. His reduction will leave the United kingdom Short and it. Hon. John Tracey food minister said the chief Eason for the very grave Emer Rency was the failure by Canada o ship sufficient quantities of wheat tiring the autumn. The food minister explained the Low up was not due to Lack of wheat in Canada but rather the ability to move it from country elevators to the seaports. Shipping is delayed experts on the wheat situation i Ottawa corroborated this state ment. The real reason however Vas that Canada so thoroughly leaned out her terminal elevators o keep up the movement to Britain using the summer that there was a tie up Between the shipping o the old crop and the arrival of Thi new crop. There also was a shortage of Lake shipping and Box cars. A suggestion in the British House of commons that Canadian when growers were holding Back their product because the Price to Bri a lower than the world Price has no foundation according to the statistics unearthed by the experts. Although the total estimated crop is bushels some 000 bushels were grown in Eastern Canada and Are not earmarked for Export. In addition the Farmers must keep seed and wheat of poor Rade for feeding. Therefore the experts estimated the amount of wheat the Prairies have to Market is bushels. To dec. 6, last figures available Prairie wheat growers had delivered bushels said to be higher than the average. Since All wheat is bought by the wheat Board at an initial payment of a Bushel for no. 1 Northern basis head of the lakes and growers receive participating certificates entitling them to a share in the pro fits of the Board there is Little incentive for a Farmer to withhold his wheat they just Don t like each other London dec. 18 up the news chronicle today Gava front Page play to an interview with James Montgomery Nephew 01 Field marshal Viscount Mont Gomery and son of a Vancouver barrister.
