CANADIAN WHEAT
PREFERENCE QUESTION NOTHING YET SETTLED * OTTAWA, August 25 In regard to the wheat preference the Prime Minister, Mr. Mackenzie King, says nothing hns been given up and nothing has been settled. Many angles have been discussed and many suggestions advanced. He expects the negotiations between Britain and the United States to be completed early in September. At the International Conference of the Agricultural Economics Convention at Quebec delegates expressed the belief that the removal of the wheat preference would have no appreciable effect on Canadian sales to the United Kingdom. There is no evidence that preference has increased the volume of Canadian sales.
