LONDON, Feb. 2. — (Canadian Press Cable) — Sir John Gilmour, Minister of Agriculture, tonight an- nounced he would introduce the Government's long awaited wheat quota bill in the House of Com- mons tomorrow.

Publication oi.’ the complete tszt

of the Bill however, was not ex- pected before Wednesday. ' NBWSDBDers speculating on the provisions of the wheat quota bill recently said they understood the government planned to impose a levy of about three shillings a bag on all flour milled in the United Kingdom. This measure, they esti- mated. would raise revenue oi about 4.500.000 pounds annually.

Under the scheme, forecasters said, British wheat growers would receive a subsidy for every quarter (eight bushels) of wheat sold. The subsidy would be computed on the difference between the price ob- tained in the open market and a "basic price" which would be fixed. probably at 45 shillings a quarter.
