Officials
of
the
Canadian
Wheat
Pool
are
to
meet
in
conference
in
London
with
members
of
the
British
Government,
it
is
announced.
Three
representatives
of
the
Pool
A.
J.
McPhail,
president;
Dr.
Mc-lntyre,
Eastern
sales
manager;
and
W.
A.
McLeod,
director
of
publicity

education
will
leave
next

to
confer
with
Rt
Hon.
J.
H.
Thomas,
Lord

The
narlev
is
the
result
of
invitations
extended
bv
Mr.
Thomas
'when
he
was
in
Canada
last
Sep-
tember.
While
the
Pool's
statement
does
not
mmtlon
the
specific
subject
of
the
conference,
it
points
out
that
JIr.
Themas'
main
purpose
in
his
Qanadlan
visit
was
to
explore
every
avenu
for
securing
a
more
uniform
flow
outward

return
cargoes
from
Canada
to
the
United
King
dom.

,
board
to
make
long-term
large-quantity
purchases
of

wheat
Is
foreseen
as
a
probable
outcome
of
the
announcement.
In
the
West
the
feeling
has
existed
for
$ome
time
that
some
move
of
the
British
Government
to
buy
Canadian
wheat
on
a
large

was
in

offing.
