TO stabilise the market. “In present circumstances British arable farmers are entirely at the mercy of Dominion and foreign exporters. So long as the price of British wheat depends on clmncc fluctuations from week to week or the': prices of imported wheat it is idle to try to get any steady basis of price for the English product without controlling the price of imported wheat when sold in this country There is only one practical way by which this can be done, and that is by putting into the hands of an organisation set up for this •purpose by Parliament the whole responsibility for the import of wheat into the country on the understanding that it will average the price quality by quality and. supply the mills at steady prices throughout the year. These prices would naturally govern the price at which either the Import Board or the mills! would purchase British wheat from, the farmers.”—Mr E. F. Wise, M.P.
