SURPLUS WHEAT
CONFERENCE TO FINANCE DEALING, (British Official Wireless,) PARIS, February 23. The European Wheat Conference, which is an outcome of M. Rriand’s European Federation scheme, met in camera to discuss the possibilities of distributing Europe’s surplus wheat among the industrial nations in exchange for .machinery and maniul'actures. There were twenty-four European nations, excluding Russian, represented at the Conference. As the French Foreign Office refused to admit Australian and Canadian observers to the Conference, the British Delegation watched their interests. The United States and Argentina, as well as Russia, were not represented. The buying nations offered to help to finance the needy wheat growing peoples of Rumania. Bulgaria. Poland, Jugo-Slavin, and Hungary, but they refused to buy wheat on the ground that the Datiubian wheat is incomparably richer in quality and that Australian and Canadian wheat is needed to bring their own grain up to tlie average quality.
