Canadian Wheat Shipment Arrives
GOVERNMENT’S POLICY. Per Press Association. CHKISTCHUBCH, Last Night. The Minister of Industries and Commerce (.the Hon. D. G. Sullivan) announced to-day that the first portion of a purchase of 4000 tons of Canadian wheat had arrived by the Aorangi. It was the policy of tho Government to import wheat so as to give employment in New Zealand flour mills und provido 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, 2SOO tons; Christchurch, 000 tons; Dunedin, OUO 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 tho Wheat Committee.
