WHEAT FOR RUSSIA
BUYING FROM DOMINIONS TWO POSSIBLE MEANINGS. LONDON, May 10. Russia’s purchases of Australian and Canadian wheat may have a military meaning, or may be another sign of a state of famine, to which the Five-Year Plan of collective farming has reduced the Russian people (says the Sunday Times).
