And Buyers Attitudes London, Jan. 13 At the meetings this week of the International Wheat Advisory Committee there is understood to have been considerable opposition among ug countries to acreage and the United States Government, which is already practise ing acreage accept export quotas ex a last resort." On the other hand, the import countries, in general, are in favour of export quotas, but are critical of price restrictions.
During yesterday's discussions, the Canadian delegate, Mr. Massey, said that his Government associated itself with general agreement on the desir ability of an International Wheat Conference.
He emphasized that everything should be done to make adequate preparations, otherwise he feared that the Conference would do more harm than good.
The Argentine delegate stressed the great importance of Soviet Russia as a wheat country and emphasized the importance of clarifying the position of the USSR.
The Soviet delegate then declared that not only was his Government in full agreement with the proposal to convene an International Conference, but it also agreed to the suggestion that export quotas and minimum prices should form part of the Conference's agenda.
The Committee will now probably appoint a sub-committee which will try to reconcile the present differences in these matters, prior to convening an International Conference.—Reuter.
