Selling Grain Overseas Is The Remedy For Glut By JOHN E. BIRD Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP)--Canadian grain experts redict that Canada will sell sizable quantities of wheat abroad this year despite a world- wide surplus. 'However, wheat board officials in Winnipeg and trade department spokesmen in Ottawa say it is early to forecast whether sales to fore customers will approach last year's record. Whether grain producers have a fat or lean year depends on over- seas selling. ' HUGE CARRYOVER Canada is bursting at the seams with grain, mainly wheat, carried over from the last crop year en J ated for this year, too. The 1952 wheat crop totalled 688,- 000,000 'bushels, a record. The new one expected to be 603,793,000 b , second highest in history. The 'earryover of wheat alone totalled 362,700,000 bushels. The carryover is stored on west- ern farms and in country and ter- minal elevators. The elevators will remain plugged until wheat can be moved into export channels in lai uantities. Oticlats say three successive heavy Srops caused the storage problem. They express opinion that export sales will pick up in the fall, thus relieving the congestion. FOREIGN SALES UP too | were sold under the International i y he | likely will depend on the price she In the 1952-53 erop year, foreign sales of wheat and coarse grains-- oats, barley, rye and flaxseed-- totalled 582,000,000 bushels, a Sain of 77,000 bushels over the previous year. Wheat and flour exports rose to 385,000,000 bushels from 365,000, 000 in the previous year. More than 235,000,000 bushels Wheat Agreement. Of this United Kingdom purchased some 10,000,000 bushels. Top price under the agreement was $1.83 in United States funds. Trade Minister Howe, in an in- terview at St. Andrews, N.B., said he expects Britain to buy not less than her usual 100,000,000 bushels ded | in the crop year ending next July 31. Bumper crops have been 31 The International Wheat Agree- ment was renewed this year but the United Kingdom 'decliped to sign. Canada's share of sales will be determined at a meeting of the International Wheat Council in Oc- tober. AT IWA PRICES Mr. Howe said wheat sales to Britain would be at IWA prices, between $1.55 and $2.05. He said the sale price "could not fall be- low" the IWA price, but did not state whether he referred to the maximum or minimum. He sidestepped questions as to any plans to subsidize growers if wheat is sold to Britain under $2.05. During the last session of Par- liament, Mr. Howe, said Canada would be able to compete in sale of wheat to the U.K. An official of the United Kingdom high commis- sioner's office in Ottawa said "that was a perfectly fair and accurate statement." But he declined to speculate on quantity or price. " "The amount Britain will bu has, to E%ia he said NEED CANADIAN WHEAT. Wheat board officials said they do not believe good European crops will cut into Canadian exports to any great degree. #They will still need our wheat and, even if they hold off for a while, they still will have to buy it," said W. C. McNamara, assist- ant chief commissioner of the board in Winnipeg. He said sales and loadings of Canadian wheat are about normal for' this time of year. European crops "won't alter the picture very much." J. B. Lawrie, European manager of the wheat board, said in Winni: peg that he has "every confidence' that markets will be found for coarse grains. However, "it will take time." "The marketing of the large 1953 grain crop will present some diffi- culties, but with the co-operation of all concerned, a good job can be done during the present crop year."
