July» LONG SESSION ‘ The House now has been in ses- gioﬂ for l27 sitting days. a post- iur record. Between Dec. 5, 1947, and June 30. 1948. Parliament sat for ill) days. The longest Second \\'ur1(l War session lasted 136 days. 11 is understood that a majority of the committee favors reducing me lcngth of speeches to 30 from 40 iillllill(‘S. The majority also pro- poses a limitation being placed on the length of time devoted to the

throne spacch and the main debate on the budget.

Opposition parties object to these changes on grounds that they would interiere with ireedom oi speech in the Commons. The Oppo- sition in the past has stated that more orderly presentation at legis- lation by the government would expedite business. It would be pre- pared to consider shorter speeches only after that had been achieved. MINOR CHANGES

However. it is understood that a majority of the committee has reached agreement on a number of minor rule changes. These in- clude quicker methods ior answer- ing questions placed on the order paper by private members and to deal with preliminary resolutions preceding the introduction of money bills.

The only concrete change which has taken place in the rules in recent years has been in the hours of sitting. At one time the Com- mons met at 3 p. m. during regular sitting hours and sat until it p. m. with a supper adjournment irom 6 to 8 p. m. Regular hours now are from 2:30 to 10 p. m. with an ad- journment from 6 to 8 p. m.

to tlailons Meet To Discuss World Wheat Surplus

lly DONALD M. MeNlC0l.l.

LONDON. (AP)—Fort.hy‘ nations meet here this week to disc the world glut oi wheat and the slide in prices touched oil by the Canadian and United states deci- sion to lop 10 cent; a bushel on export prices. -

Australia and Argentina are ex- pected to cut their prtcu to keep in step. V

It the slide ian't halted. the prediction here is that the world‘s wheat exporters will soon start. a price war. At first glance, that should make big wheat importers such as Britain happy. But there is also the possibility that such a war could hurt. world trade in other products.

Making this point, the lndepen dent, inlluential Man cheater Guardian warned: ‘There is a risk oi serious disturbance ii.’ the United states should try to ease the pres- sure on its bulging granules by some iorm oi dumping."

The reduced North American prices will save Britain an eati- mated 8l4.000,000—ln dollars — a. year, but the British treasury will have to step up its “deiiciency" payments to home wheat growers. whose prices new fall in line with those for imported wheat.

and near , nu nos amaa next week‘: meeting as she is not a member or the international Wheat Council.

Daapita strong pressure. the Brib- lsh refused last year to sign the international Wheat Agreement which aimed at. a ceiling price at $2.05 a bushel. The price now is as low as 8l.'l2.

British authorities now are prid- ing themselves in relusing to sign the agreement. some sources mn- sidcr the refusal helped to bring prices down. Others contend prices would have come down in any event because 0! the huge sur- pluses in the four main exporting oo3intriea— Canada. the United states. Argentina and Australia.

Lord Beaverbi'ook’s empire- thumping Daily Express predicted attempts will be made this week to persuade Britain to support "a fixed, artificial price“ ior wheat_ FIRM NO

“The answer to any request oi that kind should be a firm and final no," the paper commented. "Britain should keep clear oi all such price rings."

At the same time. there is a strong undercurrent of sympathy for Australian and Canadian wheat growers, who are regarded as members oi the iamily who have struck a bad patch.

While the American iarmer will suffer no loss or income since the U. S. administration supports prices. the Australianand Cana- dian grower has no such cushion.

And the British realize that, in consequence. Australia and Can- ads. might be able to import iewcr British products.

MEET WEDNESDAY

The wheat council meeting is scheduled to open Wednesday and continue until the iollowlng Wed- neadsy, June 23.

Exporting countries are expected to ask why ‘some importing coun- tries which signed last. year's agreement have tailed to take up their agreed quota of wheat pur- chases.

According to Sir John Teasdale, chairman oi the Australian wheat board, exporting countries have sold only iractions of their allot-

ed quotas. some members or the British . grain trade believe the wheat

price will eventually {all to $1.55 a bushel-— the ilgure at which lmmrting countries who signed the agreement are‘ theoretically ob- liged to take up their full quotas.
