in the world history of wheat market-

last month was '47-4 million bushels,

in Canada with.incomes of , $50,000

they are, with regard, to the national
income+ all lumped together..Unlike
the United States, the incomes of
individuals are not.made 7 public in
Canada. The law prevents it, It is
the British •way. • There is no very.
great demand that such details should
•be published, but Mr. Hanson the
, leader of the Oopposition suggested
that they be' segregated more than
they ate in different 'branches; and
the minister of 'finance 'said he' would
'"consider" it seriously. There has'
been an increas'o in the- (dumber of
people with incomes more than $50,-
