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 wheat 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 produelion by 10 per cent.
Low wheat prices do not carry their own curse, as experience in the past decade showed, when low prices | caused the extension of only the animal, and not the human consump- Lion,
The Secretariat estimates that the 1937-38 work net exports at 520,000,- 000 bushels, as compared with the estimates of the Infernational In- slitate of Argiculture, and the Food Research Institute of 350,000,000 am! 550,000,000 respectively.
World net exports in the next few years would not exceed an average
