CANADIAN WHEAT
SHIPMENT ARRIVES
GOVERNMENT'S POLICY
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, This Day.
The Minister of Industries and Commerce (the Hon. D. G. Sullivan) announced today that the first portion of a purchase, of 4000 tons of Canadian wheat had arrived by the Aorangi. It was the policy of the Government to import wheat so as to give employment in New Zealand flour mills and provide bran and pollard for poultry keepers and pig breeders.
Canadian wheat was being imported and would be.gristed by selected mills in the following proportions:—North Island, 2800 tons; Christchurch, 600 tons; Dunedin, 600 tons. Mills gristing this wheat would be allowed a conversion cost equal to what they would earn, on New Zealand wheat, but individually they would obtain no benefit whatever through gristing Canadian wheat for the Wheat Committee.
