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.
