International Wheat Agreement and Canadian export limits
The Bennett speech recounts the 21 nation wheat accord to curb world exports for 1933–34 to 560 million bushels, with Canada allotted 200 million. It outlines 1934–35 limits, minor exporters’ caps, and Russia’s negotiations, plus importing countries’ duties to avoid expanding sowing, boost consumption, and lower bread prices. It notes advisory oversight and asks if voluntary reductions will work given Western crop losses and potential surpluses, and how reduced exports will affect world prices and tariffs.
