Huge Commowealth Wheat Surplus
(Rec. 1.30 p.m.) CANBERRA. This Day.
Australia's accumulated wheat surplus totals 215,000.000 bushels, a wheatgrowers’ deputation told the Prime Minister (Mr. Curtin). The deputation asked Mr. Curtin to point out to Great Britain that such a huge surplus was a serious menace to the Australian economy. There was urgent need for export of 100.000.000 bushels this year. Mr. Curtin replied that the export of wheat was a tremendous problem because of shipping shortage.
