INCREASINGLY GRAVE
WORLD WHEAT SITUATION DEFINITE NATIONAL POLICY URGED EVIDENCE BEFORE CANADIAN COMMISSION (U.P.A.— By Electric Telegraph—Copyrichtl (Received 30th November. 1.15 p m.) OTTAWA, 29th November. Before the Royal Commission investigating Dominion provincial relations, the Premier of Manitoba. Mr John Bracken, demanded a definite national policy regarding the increasingly grave world wheat situation. He asked how Canada could continue to find markets for two-thirds of its wheat in the face of steadily shrinking world markets. If she had known of this situation thirty years ago she would not have developed half her present wheat acreage. If the present situation is n t remedied 250.000 farmers may cease growing wheat and seek the dole. If the world would not take the wheat being grown Canada should seek a planned arrangement with Australia, the Argentine and the United States for limited production. The alternative was to go on fighting each other for what market was left.
