pom noes, out. Sept. io-(o. P.)-—I'br the first time in 5W Yul‘ ch; ptlnclplSS of ‘freedom which are m, mmmon basis of the economic. the social and the political life o1 the British Conrmonwealth are be- 111‘ challenged, not by small min- m-me, but by highly organized and pawn-gm gtaies, Professor T. E. Gregory of the University of Lon- dun told the Liberal Summer

School at its closing session here

Saturday night.

“I cannot put the crisis of mod- ern civilization more clearly than this," said Professor Gregory, "that every one of the principles of the modem state of the British Com-

,monwee.lth is rejected and denied

‘by a section of the world that stretches from the Rhine to the Pacific."

MASSEY PRESIDES

Two speakers addressed the final session, which was presided over by Hon. Vincent Massey, fonner Minister to Washington. ‘The sec- ond of the addresses was ‘delivered by Rt. Hon. W. L. MacKenzie King, Liberal Leader, who summed ulp the work of the Conference. Mr. King had been in close attendance upon all the lectures and round table discussions for the whole period of the proceedings.

The value of the Conference to not only the Liberal party but to all men and women of Liberal thought was lnestimable, said Mr. King. The presentation of the man- ifold problems confronting Canada, the British Commonwealth and the world generally had clearly reveal- ed their complexity and magnitude. And, 1i’ the authoritative manner in which these had been placed be- fore the Conference might tend to make political leaders less cocksure, it should also make péclple gener- ally more tolerant and more con- siderate of men in public life 1n view of the magnitude of the tasks they were called upon to peffbffn,

“We expected no miracles w em. ergo from this Conference, and we have achieved none," said Mr, Massey. “We attempted no easy solutions of political problems. The debates have revealed p, great 11¢. 8W6 0f realism and i! we have not arrived at a solution, then we have at least done something to make solution easier."

(Continued from Page 1)

Prairie Output

‘me bulk cf the wheat comes from the three Prairie Provinces. The estimate places the production in these Provinces this year at 204,000,000 bushels of spring wheat. but year it was 408,400,000 bushels and 801,181,000 in 1981.

The report explained that gener- ally the wheat and rye estimate re- leased today was slightly higher than on July 31. ‘Ihe ripening of late and heavy northern crops of the Prairies during August had improved the pro=pects as com-

pared wlth July 31. Oats, barley, and flax were lower. New oropllt should enable a substantial cut

0f the 282,771,000 estimated all the entire wheat crcp this year, 268,608,000 was spring wheat and the balance fall wheat.

Nature very effectively restrict- ed Canada's wheat production. If the figures estimated by the Dom- inion Bureau of Statistics turn out in be accurate it would appear the volume this year available for ex- port will be considerably below the 20000000 quota fixed in Lon- don. The domestic consumption and the wheat needed for next year's seed have to be taken out.

The letter also stated that thh City Police were in a better position than the RCMP. to secure information. It
