FEDERAL REFERENDUM
■W 'AND THE WHEAT CROP. • Referring to • the Victorian wheat orop prospects a Melbourne miller writes to a ; client in/ Wellington: "Present prospects point to a good yield, and ifthis is to bo the only thing to take into consideration I reckon oil being ablo to supply-you. However, the State-and Federal Governments ato putting a. finger' in (the pie, and. 1 - as usual, slap the bulk over the side. This interference is now being felt, neither shippers nor millers being inclined to undortake forward wheat-buying. The Fedoral Government is determined to ,tako a referendum of the people in December, as-you .know. ■ One of the clauses concerns 'trade and commerce.' To my mind they should win the referendum, then the coming wheat crop will come under, their thumb, and. to my reading of the. present'doings, I look for them to close .down on „tlie coming , crop. There is no sign of a price showing for next crop." -
