CANADIAN WHEAT FARMERS
DESIRE FOR NATIONAL MARKETING BOARD. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright REGINA (Saskatchewan), Dec. 20. In a statement to-day, the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool reiterates the request for a National Wheat Marketing Board. Between 3.000,000 and 4,000,000 bushels of wheat belonging to western growers were sold under stoploss orders at Friday's Winnipeg market. The statement said that “such incidents as Friday’s market add further strength to the case for a national marketing agency to control the disposal of the entire Canadian wheat crop.” Scores of meetings of wheat pool members in this province are adopting resolutions for the institution of a national marketing agency. They -are convinced that the trading machinery has broken doan, and they are direct sufferers. At home the first step lies in a Dominion marketing agency, which would be vitally concerned in the international phase as well, and In this connection a movement is now on foot to call a conference of the major wheat exporting countries to seek co-ordinat-ed policies upon all aspects of production, marketing and financing.
