In a statement to-day, the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool reiterates the request for a National Wheat Marketing Board. “Between thre e and four million bushels of wheat belonging to western growers were sold under stoploss orders at Friday’s Winnipeg market,” the statement sard. “Such incidents as Friday’s market add further strength to the case for a national marketing agency to control the disposal of the Vntire Canadian wheat crop.

“Scores of meetings of Wheat? Pool members in this province are adopting resolutions calling for the institution of a national marketing agency. r lhey are convinasd that the trading machinery has broken down, and they are direct sufferers. The home first step lies in ,a Dominion marketing agkncv, which would be vitally concerned in the international phase a$ well, and in this connection, a movement is now on foot to call a conference of the major wHcat exporting countries to seek •co-ordinated policies, upon all the aspects of production, marketing .and financing.”
