BRITAIN CORNERS

THE MARKET

LONDON, May 30 (Reuter)— Arrangements have been com- preted to purchase the entire ex- ports of the coming seasons of the sugar production of Austraila, the Union of South Africa. Mauritius, Fii and the British West Indian colonies

This was announced. yesterday in the House of Commons by Mr. Robert Boothby, Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food, at, question time.

The total quantity involved was about 1.750,000 tons, of which the United Kingdom proportion was

about 1,250,000 tons,

FOREIGN SUGAR

The arrivals of the sugar in the United Kingdom would

spread over a long period beginning in about two months, and would not, therefore, affect the immediate sugar supply.

Canada and New Zealand were partners with the United Kingdom Government in these purchases.. Both Dominions had shown the utmost co-operation, added, Mr. Boothby, and the negotiations. had been much, facilitated by the helpful attitude of the exporting Dominions and colonies.

Supplies of foreign sugar were also purchased when it was neces--- sary to supplement the deficiencies from Empire sources and this policy would be continued in

future."
