Farmers’ Organizations i‘: tccted

Commenting further on the situation the refiners’ spokesman observed: No increase in price to farmers‘ co-operatlves. who are dealing in gasoline on I. non- profit basis for the benefit of thclr members, will be nuda. If in any instance farmers’ co-op- eretivee have been asked to pay more for gasoline. it ls due to mlsundcrs‘ ‘Lug somewhere which will be corrected immedi- ately. The refiners have given the government their assurance that prices will not. be increased to the consumer and therefore they will not be increased to the ecu-operatives."

Pnnsllfis FACING THE CONFERENCE

Since The Imperial Conference M e t Four Years Ago In. tel-national T r a d c Has Entered a New Phase - Upward Movement of Tar- iffs. '

LONDON. Bent. il-The, lmprlal conference of i930 will face its cor.- trsl problem of tlnplre trade under changed conditions and. with a large- ly changed personnel.

Since the conference met fou: years ago mternatlorlal trade has en- tered a new phase. The upward movement of tariffs has been accenz- uatecl. By safeguarding and stimu- lating their own production, the na- tions of continental Europe are seeking to become les and less de- pendent on inlported’ foodstuffs.

Canada, for almost the first time, has found her granules‘ filled mm ursold wheat. Australia is faced with a financial crisis so grave she can- not balance her budget. The British market remains the one open dear in the world, and Britain B passing through an industrial depression such as she has not known since the aftermath of the Napoleonic wars.
