Major Lloydasked the Minister of Food what advisers he took with him on his visit to the U.S.A.; and what are their business qualifications.
§ Mr. StracheyMy visit to Canada and the United States was primarily to discuss the question of a wheat contract with the48W former country and to attend the opening meeting of the International Emergency Food Council in Washington. I took with me the deputy secretary of the Ministry of Food, the head of the Cereals Division and the finance director of the Cereals Division. The latter two remained in Ottawa for discussions on the wheat contract and did not go to Washington. I had the assistance, both in Canada and the United States of members of the British Food Mission at Ottawa and the British Food Mission at Washington. Both missions contain officers with business experience in the trades from which they are drawn.
