Desire Cost for Grain Transportation Via Hudson Bay Saskatoon, Sask., Nov, 28. -- To determine actual cost of transport- ing grain to British markets via the Hudson Bay route at the ear- lest possible moment, it is suggest- ed by W. Moss Thrasher, secretary of the United Farmers of Canada. that the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool set aside tem million bushels of wheat next autumm and that this be transported from Fort Churchill by the Dominion Government Mer- chant Marine. Mr. Thrasher also suggests that the opportunity be taken by British manufacturers to ship a consider- able quantity of goods back 10 western Canada. "While at present they may not be producing the type of agricultural machinery requir- ed here," he declared, "there is no doubt that they can adjust their business to meet requirements. So it would be possible for us to spend considerable of the §600,000,000 in the Old Country where our wh-at is sold, instead of in the United States which keeps up a high tariff barrier against the western farm- er." By such method, Mr. Thrasher said, actual transportation costs could he determined which would he valuable to authorities as a basis for fixing proper rates.
