The Hong Kong press today prints a report that as a result of the present situation the Canadian and Australian Governments are at your request reconsidering their wheat deals. Is there any truth in this, and is there any indication of what the Canadian and Australian intentions at present are?
3. I should also be grateful if I could be informed whether any, discussions on the situation here have taken place with the U.S. Government and if so what their views
are.
(Passed as requested)
(Advance copies passed to Mr. Wilson, Mr. Bolland,
