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 .
