At the regularxmeeting of the (‘ity Council last night the follow- ing tribute was paid by His Wor- itxlp Mayoiti MacDonald to tihe late Coun. Doyle. His statement was read at the opening of the meeting, after which the Council, stntirling. observed one minute's aiicticc:

"since last we met as a Council, one of our members, Councillor Samuel Doyle, has gone on to his clerfllll rest.

"My associations with him over a considerable number of years. nitrl more particularly during ilie last year when he was a member of this Council Board. were of a most. pleasant. nature, and his ad- vice and judgement on various mattcrs relative to_Civic affairs and other things ‘were invaluable.

"The energy and enthusiasm whim he displayed as an athlete brought. him Canada-wide recognit- ion in his day. and that same rnergy and enthusiasm which carried him in sutli prominence in i-llﬁjvOfld of sport were also tvitijenoed in his private life andt yore factors in making him suchl n Wdflhy representative of the llsﬂllie of his Ward.

Mayor B.

Both he and several members of the Council had come to the con- clusion that it would be unwise to do anything which might re- sult in the Govemment not con- structing the building at all.

2. Beyond the Canadian price agreement looms the question of whether Britain can arrange for continued wheat supplies from this. her most reliable source. nliile her dollar short- age continues. The present four-year agreement between the two countries ends in 1950.

3. Anglo-Russian talks on a trade agreement are deadlock- ed. Under the proposed agree- ment Britain hoped‘ to obtain substantial ivhcat supplies for sterling.

4. Agriculture Minister Tom Williams warned a week-end meeting at Bridlington, York- shire. that failure of a single harvest in North America might threaten world food supplies and said "Europe is becoming dangerously dependent on sup- plies of North American grain."

5. Government statistics ric- monstraie Britain's depend- ence on imported wrhcat despite increased home output. A busnper 1948 crop _vlclded‘ an

estimated 85.000000 bushels but imports of more than 150.000.- 000 bushels still were necessary to provide Britons wiili bread.

6. Wheat imports front Alis- iralia for i948 were estimated at. 37.500000 bushels —- from the outstandingwrop available for sterling. Smaller product- ion from the new Australian crop is expected.

It is understood Sir. Alexander Clutterbuck. United Kingdom High Commissioner in Ottawa. and Canadian officials now are examining two major proposals for an Anglo-Canadian agreement - a cash settlement by Britain to compensate canautaii farmers to three years whim they sold wheat to Britain at less than world prices or altcr- natively a continuation of agreement at a price agreeable to both parties.
