gates representing the United States,
Canada, Australia and Argentina
today reached agreement in prin-
ciple on a policy of temporary ad-
Justment to raise wheat prices, but
agreed that cooperation of Europ-
can consuming nations was neces-
sary to any final solution of the
problem" it was announced Off
ly.
The text of a communique is
sued by the "big four delegates
was:
THE four overseas exporting
countries - Argentina, Australia,
Canada and the United States-to-
day agreed in principle on a pol
icy of temporary adjustment and
trade to word demand, with the
view of improving the price of
wheat and liquidating the surplus
stocks now hanging over the mar
ket.
They recognize, however, that a
solution of the wheat problem de-
pendS upon the cooperation of
European countries"
1t was indicated, thus, that the
wheat exporting nations, perhaps
with the inclusion of Russia. must
get importing agreements with ma
tions such as France that have
been imposing high tariffs on for
eign wheat in order to stimulate
their own production.
