WHEAT PARLEY “Prompt Agreement” On Wheat Question Is Asked.

/ ~ ‘QUONDON, July 13—(Canadian Press and Associated Press Cable) --An attempt was made today to bring the tangled negotiations’ on s world agreement for raising the price of wheat on t. the World Conference stage but it was flatly rejected by the “big four" wheat exporting nations who have been working on the big problem out- side the conference for many weeks. Prime Minister Ramsay Mac- Donald called a conference of the big four-Canada, Australia, the Argentine and the United States- slong with smaller exporting na- tions and the chief importing coun- tries. He insisted they should en- deavor to reach a "prompt agree- ment" for coordinating wheat pro- duction and consumption with a view to increasing the price. Some oi the importing nations proposed the subsequent nego- tiations be carried on in a sub- committee of the World Economic Conference. The big four promptly /Qspped on this. Prime Minister H. . Bennett himself, Henry Mor- genthau of the U. S., Thomas Le Breton of. Argentina and Stanley Bruce of Australia all pointed out the negotiations thus far have pro- ceeded fairly satisfactory outside the conference. They insisted fu- ture‘ progress was contingent on following the same course, and the meeting accepted this viewpoint. The big four have already agreed .-in principle-on limiting produc- tion and regulating exports in or- dcr to fit the demand and conse- quently raise the price. But serious mags were revealed today. in their . efforts to secure the cooperation of the exporting nations oi the Dan-

ubian Basin and Poland. Never- theless Prime Miw ‘or Bennett was optimistic. He . .ci the Can-

idian Press after today's meeting the importing countries "showed wery desire to cooperate."

The planes arrived about 3.30. They came in flights of ten. In the first ten was General Balbo and his officers. Then came ten more planes and about ten minutes after four more. H. M. C. S.

At 2.2-1 E. S. T. the planes were sighted, and six minutes later the first triad, with the lead plane marked “Balbo" roared low over the landing and circled to the surface.
