SUPPLY FROM CANADA
BACON AND HAM BIG BRITISH CONTRACT (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 1.40 p.m. RUGBY, Dec. 21. By agreement between the British and Canadian authorities the Ministry of Food will purchase from the Dominion an average weekly amount of 7,600,0001 b. of Canadian bacon and ham. Part will be for the fighting forces. Negotiations on the deal, which is one of the largest of the kind ever entered into, have been going on in London for some weeks between representatives of the two Governments. The significance of Canada’s effort may be gained from the fact that in 1937 and 1938 the imports of Canadian bacon and ham into the United Kingdom amounted to 1,701,718 and 1,507,657 cwts. respectively, whereas she has undertaken to supply 2,600,000 cwts. in 1940.
