Surplus Wheat Policy Talks At White House Conference

Washington officials indicate the administration may take the initiative to place surplus American wheat in export markets rather than rely on normal trade channels. President Roosevelt directed Wallace and State officials to survey foreign markets and prevent price collapse amid a potential record 1.22 billion bushel crop and 450 to 590 million bushels of surplus. Government could use loan funds and customs proceeds to move wheat abroad, possibly selling 280 million bushels at 10 cents below loan rate, though private sales and market outlets remain uncertain. European crops have improved, and officials say dumping at a heavy loss would contradict reciprocal trade policies.
