JAPAN DISPLAYS WHEAT E L MIGHT TO HELD FOR SLAYING AS AID IN Study Being Made of Pro posal to Build Granaries for Grain From Canada- Food Supply Held Vital LONDON (UP) A proposal to construct huge granaries In varloua parts of Great Britain and store In them thousands of tons of Canadian grain now kept In Canada has been made with a view to overcoming the problem of feeding the country in the event of war. The proposal arises from the pres ence In England of the royal grain Inquiry commission here to find wayB of improving the exports of wheat from Canada to England. The subject will be discussed between representatives of the two countries at an early date. It seems an obvious thing to do. but there have been difficulties. A suggestion madb long ago was that Britain should buy the Canadian wheat Rurplus and store It In Eng land. The objection to this proposal waa that such a large-scale pur chase of wheat would send the price of grain ' soaring to an uneconomic level and might cause serious dislo cation. Belong to Canada, The new proposal eliminates this ; danger. The wheat would merely be , transferred to storage In England , and would remain Canadian prop erty. The stores would be used to fill orders from British millers. In the time of war Britain, or course, would be able to take over the entire stocks and ration grain distribution. As far as Canada la con cerned the only effect would be to transfer Its stocks to a point more convenient for distribution. It ts proposed that the dominion should bear part of the cost of the construction of the granaries. At present only a few weeks' food supplies can be stored In Britain, and It Is generally admitted that a store equal to many months sup ply Is desirable to avoid a repetition of the conditions In the last war. when Britain's food supplies dwin dled at times alarmingly and had to be Imported at great cost and enormous risk. Imports 8 Million Tons. Annual consumption of wheat In this country ts about 7.000,000 tons. Last year Britain Imported 5 .000.000 tons, more than half of which came from Canada. Latest estimates place the Canadian surplus thts year at about 1,000.000 tons, though there are reports that this figure may prove far too high. The question of food supplies Is onu of the most difficult and vital facing the government. A special sub-committee of the committee of Imperial defence was set up last year to deal with food supplies In war time, and a new department of the board of trade, known aa the food defense plans department, recently has been formed. Another committee Is ohsrged with the task of Increas ing Britain's own agricultural production. Si mm I Mm Ha , : GABLE IN SHAPE. Ready for the Venice.
