§ Dr. SummerskillThere are no running contracts with the Dominion of Canada for apples, oats or canned fish, we are arranging for the importation of a small quantity of apples this year, but the details have yet to be worked out. We contracted in May to buy canned salmon 53W from the current year's pack. The bacon contract is on an annual basis and expires on 31st December, 1949.
