CANADIAN WHEAT
HUGE SURPLUS
PRESERVATION FOR USE AFTER WAR OTTAWA, August 1. Brigadier-General Crerar, in the House of Commons, agreed with the Leader of the Conservative Party, Mr. Hanson, that in spite of the huge wheat surplus not a single kernel should be destroyed. General Crerar prophesied that 250,000 Europeans would be short of food within a year
"When the war ends Europe will be starving and her agricultural life will be destroyed, requiring years to rebuild it," he said. "Canada may be in a position to render a great humanitarian service to Europe."
The Dominion has a carry-over of 275,000,000 bushels, and a crop of 400,000,000 is expected.
