WORLD CONGRESS

EARLY ADJOURNMENT IMPROVED SITUATION AWAITED MARKETING CONDITIONS (British Official Wireless.) Rugby, July 17. The World Conference is expected to adjourn on July 27, and the question of its reassembly after the recess will probably be left to the Bureau, which it is expected will be invested with power to call the delegates together again when the world situation is more favourable for a solution of the problems before the conference. During the discussion on the proposal of the Polish delegation to set up a sub-committee to consider the need for some improvement in the marketing conditions of dairy products, Major Elliot, the United Kingdom delegate, said Britain took 80 per cent, of the world’s butter exports and 50 per cent, of its cheese exports. The United Kingdom was also a large producing, although not exporting, country, and was thus' affected by the existing world's surplus of butter and dairy products. He made clear- the Government’s intention to increase the output of dairy products. There were no meetings to-day of : the conference committees, but the | work will be continued on Monday when the meetings will include one of the drafting committee of the subcommission on subsidies and shipping.
