Thomas (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Regina, Sask, March 13.--The at- titude taken by "coal people" in Ca- nada forced abandonment of a Bri- tish government proposal which might have aided wheat shipments from Canada to Britain. This light on the conversations between Can- adian wheat pool officials and Rt. Hon. J. H. Thomas, Lord Privy Seal and Minister of Unemployment in the British government, was _ con- tained in an address today by A. J. McPhail, president of the Canadian wheat pool. "We were prepared: to recom- mend for serious consideration of our board, a certain proposal made by Mr. Thomas that I think would possibly have facilitated the de- sired' developments," stated Mr. McPhail in speaking to a meeting of the Regina board of trade. "However, due to the very strong attitude taken by coal people on this side of the water, the whole idea I think has been dropped 'for the time being at least." Mr. McPhail offered no further detalls of the "certain proposal," presumably considering as he has intimated heretofore, that reports of the conversations must come from British government officials. It is recalled, however, that it was reported while the pool men were in Britain that suggestions Had been made for shipments of British coal to Canada in tramp stea to be filled on their return trips with cargoes of Canadian wheat, The old organized grain trads is "doomed," in Canada. -and else Yhere, in the opinion of Mr, Me- afl, FAMOUS ENGLISH SPORTSMAN DIES Earl of Coventry Succumbs Following Fortnight's liness Worcester, England, March 13. --~The Earl of Coventry, the ninth of his line, died today at his home, Croome Court, at the age of 91, after a fortnight's illness.
