This information was ° con- tained in a statement prepared for Hon. H. H.

While Canada has been selling more Wheat to France, the imports from other countries have not kept pace. In January and February of 1930, Canada supplied 17 per cent. of France's total imports of wheat whereas in the first two months of 1931 she supplied 54 per cent.

That this, however, was often the case is indicated by the fact that in the 13 years in which the council has awarded scholarships, 476 awards have been made to 283 students but the awards are made each year to the applicants which in the opinion of the council are the most promising.” Starting Cross Canada Trip Party From Hamilton Hopes To Reach Vancouver In December May 2 was moving day for E.
