Canadian Grain Selling- in
Britain to be Increased
A desPatch from London sasett-It
is very probable that as a result of
the adoption of a resolution by the
l3ritish Empire Producers* Organize,
tion Canadiaa wheat will find a much
greater matket in Great Britain. The
resolution stated it was desirable on
economic arid strategic grounds that
the home produetion of wheat should
be materially increased, and atrongly
urged that the wheat which niast still
be imported after the home supply has
been absorbed should be purchased
from the wheat growing centres of the
Empire. The resolution further urged
that steps be taken to organize and
make fully available the wheat sup-
plies ofethe Empire, and that the Gov-
ernment institute an inquiry with the
view of fixing the minimum quota of
Britain's annual requirements which
should be grown on home soil.
