Mr. De la Bére; asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will consult with the Dominions concerned with a view to taking steps to protect the interests of the wheat producers in both Canada and Australia, since the milling combines are able to purchase American, Kansas, wheat, duty free and with the subsidy off, at a rate 5s., approximately, per quarter cheaper than the Canadian, Manitoban?
§ Mr. StanleyI see no present necessity for such consultation. The two wheats to which my hon. Friend refers are not comparable in quality and Manitoba wheat normally secures a higher price than Kansas wheat.
