SURPLUS WHEAT
PROPOSAL THAT WAS ABANDONED press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. OTTAWA, February 24. (Received February 26, at 1 a.m.) The Minister for Trade and Commerce '(Mr H. H. Stevens) stated in Jio House to-day that the Government had given serious thought to contributing 10,000,000 to 20,000,000 bushels of free wheat to China, but abandoned the plan when it was found that there was slight chance of the grain getting to the people in the interior as the grasping trade associations at Shanghai were likely to take it themselves.
