PROBLEM OF WHEAT

DISCUSSED AT REGINA

j Called Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received August 3, 2 p.m.) ; I . ~ ' EEGINA, August. 2. British millers and corn merchants do not want wheat to remain at a low price, Sir Albert Humphries, representative of Old Country milling interests, told delegates to the World's Grain Conference on Wednesday. It is not good, he said, for tho producer, miller, or people as a whole for wheat to remain at low levels. • He stated that if agriculturists in the widest sense could be made prosperous, then the whole world would very shortly become more prosperous as well. An organisation to take over wheat regarded as entirely above normal requirements and charged with finding an outlet for it, apart from the usual trade channels, was suggested by Mr. A. H. Hobley, of the. British Co-operative Wholesale Society, in a paper read by Mr. George Keen, of tho Canadian Cooperative Union, in Mr. Iloblcy's absence.
