STATE CONTROL OF WHEAT
STRONG CRITICISM VOICED ARTIFICIAL MEASURES CHALLENGED United Press Association—Bv Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received February 6, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, February 5. Sir Herbert Robson, chairman of the Baltic Mercantile and Shipping Exchange, addressing the Empire Society, criticised Government control of wheat marketing. He said that almost every week some Government piled on a new restriction, preventing the grain merchants from trading. International trade would not improve until the currencies returned to a metal base, and grain was allowed to move more freely. Excepting in Belgium and Holland, prices throughout Europe were abnormally high and the quality abnormally low, because the countries were aiming at self-dependence, owing to wartime shortages. Governments were placing obstacles in the way of wheat importation, owing to the difficulty in financing imports.
