FUTURE OF WHEAT
THREAT TO AUSTRALIA
SYDNEY, December 5. A gloomy situation for wheat growers after the war unless world trade was stimulated was forecast today by the Australian Minister of Commerce and Agriculture, Mr, J. S. Scully. The Minister was addressing a, conference of wheat growers from all,parts of the Commonwealth. If world trade does not increase, Australia, with other exporting countries, must either limit production to fit market needs or else have the 70,000 Australian wheat farmers back again m a depressed industry trying to escape the economic result of low prices in a glutted market," he said. Because we realise the problems and are ready to co-operate in solving them, Australia is a signatory to the international wheat agreement, and it is our hope that international cooperation can bring the results that all nations want but none can achieve alone."
