PARLIAMENTARIANS
CANADIAN WHEAT METHODS INSPECTED. VISITORS IMPRESSED. Winnipeg, September 6. The Empire Parliamentarians conferred with the officials of the Western Canadian wheat pools and gleaned much information regarding the operation of the pool and the marketking plans for the Canadian crop. They were much impressed. Mr T. W. Rhodes (New Zealand) paid a high tribute to the organization. The Government of Manitoba entertained the visitors at a dinner at which Mr Prowse made one of the principal addresses. He said the big problem before the outlying parts of the Empire was to get an adequate market for produce. He felt that with this need met the task of peopling the vacant areas would be easily accomplished. He stressed the necessity for a complete union between the various parts of the Empire. Mr Rhodes said he believed the mineral wealth of Canada would be developed to a far greater extent in the future whereby he foresaw prosperity, not only for Canada, but the entire Empire.—Australian Press Association*
