So far as can be learned, Canadian farmers retain a highly preferred position in the British bacon market until 1948. Basic reason -behind the British deal for bacon, butter and eggs with Den- mark was the urgent need for supplies and the certainty that unless a con- tract were made, the Russians would buy up the entire Danish supply. As it is, Britain has contracted for about 92 million pounds of bacon on Den- mark in 1946 and 90% of Danish out- put in 1947 and 1948. It is not thought likely -this will give the British more than 150 to 200 million lb. annually, against pre-war shipments of about 400 million lb. annually. Anticipated shipments by Canada in 1946 are be- tween 300 and 325 million lb., with a minimum of 350 and 400 million lb. in 1947 and 1948. .
