OTTAWA. July l5.—-(CP) —- ‘The bclleagucrcd United Kingdom will take all the cheese Canada can su - ply, gorcrlilncnt dairy officlas sad tonight and, looking toward increas- ed production the dairy products board has called a meeting of cheese producers for Thursday next. Pro- ducers from I over the Dominion are expected to attend.

Cheese, it is explained, _is in its way just as valuable for fighting as

uns. A mun can survive on cheese or a lon time. The United King- dom wan - it in quantity because of its high ilutritive value, because it is comparatively easy to ship and will keep, and because the British like Canadian cheddar cheese.

Production is believed to be step- plnfz up a little in Canada, but it ls stll far below what it was 35 years ngo. In 1904 Canada shipped 234,- 000000 pounds of cheese to the United Kingdom. In contrast to this figure tile wl;o1e production t1 the dominion in 1939 was not more tliun 122372.000 pounds.

Earl in the year the dairy pro- ducts ard made a, deal with the British Food Ministry to ship 1,520 long tons in May and 3,000 long tons in June, but upon representations from the ministry moved June ship- ments toward the lLOOO-ton m .

Under the terms of the original agreement. the ministry agreed to take 78,400,000 pounds but recent corrspondence indicates there is no limit to the amount that can be taken, probably on a basis of l4 cents a pound for first grade F. O. B. Montreal. The cheese for ‘export must be white and unwaxed.

The indications are that there is not going to be any great de- mand for Canadian butter. The British are on a strict ration of 4 ounces a person each week,

The board therefore recommends that for general stability of the dlllfl/ market more attention should be paid bv farmor" to choose,
