WORLD HAS TOO MUCH WHEAT
Cannot Consume. It Owing To Purchasing Prices
London, Jan. 19.
A gloomy view of the wheat pros- pects is taken by the Secretariat of the
Wheat Advisory Committee, which, after an exhaustive survey of the situation, concludes that in view of the absence of concerted effort to deal with the problem of surplus wheat production, a return to the catastrophic whent purchasing power of the early Thirties In over- seas countries, is inevitable."
I world consumption was main- tained at recent levels it would fall short of the current production by 10 per cent.
Low wheat prices do not carry their own curse, an experience in the past decade showed, when low prices caused the extension of only the animal, and not the human consump- tion.
The Secretariat estimates that the 1937-38 world net exports at 520,000,- 000 bushels, as compared with the estimates of the International. In- stitute of Argiculture, and the Food Research Institute of 350,006,000 and 550.000,000 respectively.
