WHEAT SURPLUS
THE POSITION IN CANADA.
SHRINKING OF WORLD MARKETS. LIMITED PRODUCTION URGED. (United Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Day; 1.15 p;m.) OTTAWA, November 29. Before tbe Royal Commission that is investigating Dominion and Provincial relations, the Premier of Manitoba (Mr John Bracken) demanded a definite national policy regarding the increasingly grave world wheat situation. He asked how Canada could continue to find markets for two-thirds of its wheat in the face of steadily-shrinking world markets. If she had known of this situation 30 years ago she would not have developed half the present wheat acreage. If the present situation were not remedied, 250,000 farmers might cease growing wheat and seek the dole. If the world would not take the wheat being grown, Canada should seek a planned arrangement with Australia, the Argentine and the United States for limited production. The alternative was to go; on fighting each other for what market was left.
