WHEAT PROBLEMS
POSITION IN CANADA. IMPLEMENTING THE AGREEMENT STATEMENT BY PREMIER. (United Press Association. —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received March 14, 12.10 p.m. OTTAWA, March 13. In a general statement covering the wheat agreement, the Premier (Mr R. B. Bennett) informed Parliament that emergency wheat boards with power to license and restrict sales and deliveries within the provinces might be set up under measures introduced this week in the Legislatures of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta and, with a joint board established by the provincial and Federal Governments, would implement the world wheat agreement so far as Canada was concerned. The Federal Parliament would also be asked to enact such legislation as might be necessary to give the Dominion Government authority to restrict sales and deliveries outside the provinces.
A Sydney message published yesterday stated“ Cabled advice from London announces that China has purchased large quantities of wheat from Argentina and the United States. The latter a few weeks ago caused consternation on the Australian market by selling eight ship-loads of wheat to China on long term credit. Complaint was made at the time that America had broken the London agreement, and a promise given that the agreement would not be transgressed again.
