78. Mr. WHITEHOUSE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the Argentine wheat crop has been acquired by the Allies; and whether he can give full information as to the amount and deliveries which may be relied upon?

Mr. CLYNES

I have been asked to reply. It is in contemplation to purchase certain quantities of Argentine wheat, and negotiations are in progress with reference to financing such purchases.
