Sharp World-Wide Reactions

London, Oct. 6.—The setting up of the nine-nation Communist International Information Bureau with its headquarters in Belgrado is "a decisive forward stop in the drio of World Communism against its political opponents", according to diplomatic quarters in London quoted by Router's diplomatic correspondent.

Britain's Disappointing Whent Crop

London, Oct. 6-The Times' agricultural correspon- dent states that Britain's wheat crop for 1947 is 500,000 tons lighter than ordinarily expected, according to estimates of crops' yields which farmers returned on October 1.

Everywhere Britain's yields from threshing were dis- appointing. Devon and Dorset farmers report the worst yields for many years. Wheat crop acreage was 2,100,000 acres compared to 1943 when 3,400,000 acres were grown. Barley yields wore nearer à 10-year average. Oats also were estimated bolow the average.

The expected yields per acre for 1947 follows: Whoat, 16 tons compared to a 10-year average of 21 tons; barley. 18 compared to 19; Oats, 17 compared to 18: potatoes, seven compared to seven; sugar beet, eight com- pared to 10.--United Press.

This view was held in most world centres, but comment varied from that of a New York Times correspondent who called it a clear declaration of political war to a French view that it forecast a change of Communist policy in France and Italy.
