WHEAT PRODUCTION. Memo. by Minister without Portfolio.

27 Jun 1941

international agreement, to limit our domestic production to the amounts which we grew a few years ago and which will enable practically all the land specially suitable for wheat growing to be used for that purpose. The additional quantity which could be grown is relatively insignificant; the importance of the question lies in the psychological reactions on our international relations. We have professed our desire to co- operate with the United States in post-war economic policies; we have announced our readiness to promote the success of the wheat conference, and we have offered to join with the overseas countries in pressing for a reduction of the artificial stimulation of high-cost wheat production in Europe.
