| Society wrote:

i “On behalf of the British-Soviet
Friendship Society we send you
the warmest ‘greetings for annual
conference and friendship month.
British and Canadian people both
have tremendous tasks in saving
their countries from a disaster

openly planned by those who ad-

mit in their press ‘war is good for
‘business.’ The endless arms drive
is plunging the western world
into ever greater sacrifices, with
the growing danger of ultimate
disaster.”

“The British and Canadian peo-
ples have everything to gain from
friendly peaceful co-operation
and trade with, the Soviet Union
and everything to lose from a
new international conflict.”

Canada losing
markets to U.S.
by wheat pact

By NELSON CLARKE

SASKATOON

Canadian wheatgrowers are be:
ing squeezed out of world mar-
kets ‘by U.S. domination of the
International Wheat Agreement,
according to current reports.
They give the lie to Trade Min-
ister C. D. Howe’s constant talk
of ample wheat markets.

. Out of a total of 530,000 bush-
els sold altogether for the week
ending December 28 under the
International Wheat Agreement,
466,000 was sold by the United
States alone. Since the begin-
ning of the crop year last Aug-
ust 1, Canada has succeeded in
exporting enough wheat to take
up about half of the quota allo-
cated to her under the Interna-
tional Wheat Agreement. On the
other hand, the U.S. has disposed
of four-fifths of her quota al-
ready. ;

What, is happening is even
more clearly revealed by trends
developing in British imports of
wheat, from Canada and the
1S, ;

In the first ‘six months of 1950
Britain took 24,600,000 ecwt. of
wheat from Canada and 6,900,000
from the U.S., but in ‘the first
six months of 1951, Britain im-
ported only 14,000,000 cwt. from
Canada, and 15,000,000 ewt. from
the U.S. Every Canadian must
be profoundly disturbed by a
situation in which even for tem-
porary periods, the U.S. displaces
‘Canada as the leading supplier of
our traditional best customer.
