RUSSIA AND WHEAT
LONDON, 22nd March. The "Morning Post's" Rome correspondent reports that the agenda for the second Wheat Conference, opening on Thursday, is fixe,d to bar political considerations, but the presence of a strong Russian delegation gives it a distinct political as well as an economic character. • v ■ Fifty-four countries will be ropre,nented. It is obvious that if wheatgrowing countries agreed to curtail sowings Russia: would have a free hand to dominate the wheat world. America has foreseen this dilemma, and has sent only observers. Thus it will not' participate in a scheme which would entail persuading the Auierican farmers to reduce their acreage in favour of Russia.
