GRAIN SALE TO CHINA
“Canada Will Not Stop” IN .Z.P.A -Reuter—Copyright) OTTAWA, June 7. The United States ban on equipment needed in connexion with Canadian grain sales to China will not stop the huge grain export programme. said the Canadian Prime Minister (Mr Diefenbaker) in the Canadian House of Commons today. Mr Diefenbaker said Canada w’as “quite determined" to maintain the pace of grain exports to China, and might make and fly its own unloading equipment to Chinese ports to replace the machinery banned under United States law. Mr Diefenbaker said he had been assured that an Ontario firm could build the unloaders and have them ready within three weeks. If so. they would be flown to China to avoid any halt in shipments. Canada was concerned at any action affecting the grain trade. Mr Diefenbaker said. He added that reports of the whole matter had been blown out of proportion.
