US Delegate Urges Wheat Acreage Reduction at Conference
United States delegate Samuel R. McKelvie urged cutting acreage sown to wheat as the key to stabilizing the world wheat market at a conference of exporting nations in London. He said relief requires curtailment of production in exporting countries and coordination of plans, with Russia and Canada among those proposing schemes. Britain reported Russia led wheat exports to Britain in early 1931, with Canada close behind. Russian shipments neared 712.6 million pounds valued about 9.47 million dollars, Canada about 707.5 million pounds worth roughly 10.05 million dollars.
