By Georgo Ronald WASHINGTON, June 13 —(.(§P) —The United States Senate today ratified the International Wheat

Agreement, designed to stabilize world wheat prices during the next four years.

The pact was drawn up here

earlier this year by representatives of the 4.1 participating countries.

Several senators, including Sen- ator Arthur Vandenberg, (Rep. Mich.) expressed misgivings. Van- denberg called it "the partial equivalent of state trading on an international scale."

The pact becomes effective July 1 ii sufficient numbers of partic- ipating countries ratify 1t by that time. The United States is the sec- ond major exporting country to approve the pact. Canada. ratified the agreement last April and Australia now has a bill before Parliament which is expected to be

[given approval before deadline.

The Canadian and United States commitments make up more than 80 per cent. of the total quantity. and these ratlfications thereby clinch one part of the pact. The Bil-per-a-ent figure had to be reach- 8d, on the exporters’ side, before the agreanent could become oper- atlve.

What now remains is for enough of the importing countries to ap- prove the pact to guarantee a mar- ioet for at least 70 per cent of the total quantity.

Although none of the importers has yet ratified. Govermnent. of- ficials here believe the TO-per-cent totmi will be reached before July 1

Under the agreement among five major wheat-exporting countries and 36 importing countries 458,273,- 389 bushels will be exchanged each year on l. sliding price scale. The top price has been set at. $1 80 a bushel, with the minimum figure droppirg l0 cents annually from $1.50 to $1.20 in the fourth year.

Canada will be the major ex- porter, earmarking 203,069,635 bushc‘ a, year for shirvntent to im- p:>rtin_ countries. The United States will be the second major ex- porter with 168,069,685 bushels for shipment, followed by Australia. 80,000,000; France, 3,306,034; and Uruguay, 1,8.':i'7.l85.

A similar pact was signed last year but. was never ratified. Untit- 6d States refusal to ratify the 1948 agreement was a. nmior factor in its failure.

Under the pact approved by the senate today Britain will be the largest importer with an allotment of 177,667,948 bushels of wheat each year. The pact, with its maximum $1 a0 price, does not affect the Anglo-Canadian agreement, under which Canada will ship Britain

TORONTO, June l8 — (OP) — Scattered thundershowora forecast for tonight may help some crops in sun-parched Southern and South- western Ontario but Provincial Agriculture Department officials my many are "stunted beyond re- cover-y.”

They uy that. losses, difficult to estimate accurately. may be well over the $100,000,000 mark.

Among the heaviest hit by the drought are - strawberry crops. Pruit brokers here say a 72-hour rain lo necessary to nvo even part. of the crop in some parts of South- ern Cmtario. »

Hon. ‘I21... Kennedy. Ontario Minister of Agriculture“. said the today dry spell is "the moat ser- ious I've known in my long life- time. There hasn't been s decent rain in Control Ontario since the

pngy went off the ground.

Drought Losses In Ontario May Reach 100 Million

"Although farms have wonderful recuperative powers. they can't bring hack wheat, h“. clove!’ strawberries. Everything that. lur- vlves will he down in siae."

Concern of the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture over the sev- ere effect of the drought on hay and pasture crops is reflected in “emergency growth" instructions issued to farmers.

Tho Department suggests plant- ing sudan grass, oats. PHI. 0W0"- clover and millet as replacements. Those can be sown as late as mill Juno and would thrive in "well warmed" soil.

In o number of counties. milk prruction is reported falling off.

n Holton County at the north- west tip of Lake Ontario, some far-mm ray it is impossible to plough the sun-baked earth. They ray their hay crop may yield less than one ton JG 4:2. ‘

QUEBEC. J1me 13 — (C?) - Sir Arthur Guinness, president. of the International Chamber of Com- merce. proposed tonight that the elgh teen countries shar- ing in the Europe-an Recovery Pro- gram should at once negotiate trade agreements.

These, he said, should be on a multilateral basis ' and should limit their tariffs to a height of 15 per cent between each country.

"At the safe time, they should bind. that is. agree, not to raise any tariffs which today are below l5 per cent in height."

Sir Arthur made his proposal at the official dinner of the 1.0.0. at- tended by some 800 delegates from 25 countries. and byviscount Al- exander, Governor - General of Canada, the host country. Canada's ‘Trade Minister Howe presided.

"All quotas and other hindrances between these countries." said Sir Arthur, "should be abolished and payments agreements should be worked out so as to allow freedom of current payments so that there will be no fear of foreign exchange control being used to hinder the free flow of current trade. '

"A plan like this, adopted in the immediate future - say before Jan. 1, 1950, would have all the advantages of the support oi E.R.P. and a large flow of dollars which would help in alleviating the difficulties of various indus- tries (which would be hurt. and the problem of high-cost production countries.

"It would also allow a clear ex- posure of the problem of Europe's costs of production, and it. would thus give a. clear index of the val- uts of the currencies of the var- lous European countries which is a necessary forerunnerof any def- inite adjustment of exchange-rates.

"You will notice that I have not suggested a ,‘ e customs un- ion. This is very difficult to ach- ieve with countries of such stan- dards of living.

"The ultimate aim must be the free convertibility of currencies throughout the world. Great dan- ger would result from the creation of two areas. a dollar area and a sterling area, with a great. dimor- lty of price between them.

"The only way out of this prob- lem ts by creating the maximum of multilateral trade throughout the world and the free convertibil- ity of currencies."
