4747578 bushels in 1929 6083695 bushels in 1931 as a result it is claimed of premier bennetts threat to cancel the french treaty exports jumped to 18807676 bushels the peak for the past seven years if the quota law stands in france a toronto exporter declared the benefits from the reduced tariff will be negligible it allows only 10 per cent foreign wheat to be imported at a time when canada needs most to ex port in other words no matter what the tariff canada can only share with other wheat exporting countries in providing one bushel of every ten con sumed in france line mothers to provide
