Russia. The British Government is planning to recog-
nize the Soviet Government in order to', among other
things, buy this wheat. If Great Britain do-es this,
 these millions of bushels of wheat will displace as
-_ _ many bushels of Canadian wheat. In this case the
Canadian wheat growers will have many millions of
 dollars less revenue to spend upon Canadian manufac
tures, the Canadian manufacturers will require few`-
er employees, there will be less work for Canadians
