Jesse Strang, of Slaresholm, presented the suplementdry report on the possibilities and advisabili- ties of the pool going into the flour milling business. It. was tabled. The report follows: "The exeprience of past years in the flour milling business indicates that if the wheat pool ever ventures into that business careful and com- prehensive plans will have to be made to insure a continuous de- mand for the product, and also for ample reserve to be accumulated in good years to carry the enterprise over lean years. "While alvocates for a pool flour mill have many good arguments, your committee is still of the opin- fofi "that it is doubtful if such @ venture would give satisfactory re- sults in view of the multiplicity of nills in Canada, resulting in the! keenest kind of competition and the narrow markets for Canadian flour overseas.' R. D.

Following suggestions thrown out by the minister some months ago, the price of bread was reduced by about 20 per cent. or a little more than two cents a loaf on the aver- age over the Whole of Canada. The price of flour, however, did not come down, and the opinion was expressed at the Department of La- bor today that the next stép must come from the milling companies. Senator Robertson laid the re- sults of his investigations before the Cabmet meeting today and aft- erwards announced he was calling a number of leading millers into con- sultation this week to see if some- thing could not be dome to lower the price of flour.

Eleven deaths had been added to the toll and though the weather bur- eau promised moderation of the sev- ere cold in most of the Chicago fore- cast district, snow flurries were also predicted to increase the blanket which covered much of middle 'Am- erica. A night blizzard in Ohio brought five traffic deaths and grounded. all planes at Cleveland, three deaths oc- curred in Indiana and three more were attributed to the cold wave in Chicago as the mercury dipped below zero in the suburbs.

The premier and his followers were guests at luncheon arranged by W. H. Ireland, Conservative whip. In the parliament buildings today and immediately afterwards the caucus began. While a' few days ago Mr. Ferguson stated he would consult the wishes of his party before deciding on the Lon- don post, there is a strong feeling among the rank and file of the members he has already made up his mind. Undoubtedly he will be pressed to remain in Ontario, but the pressure will not be so strong when his own wishes are known.

M. Anderson to Sir George Perley, acting premier of Canada. reading as follows: "In tho interests of Canadian agriculture, the Saskatchewan government favors a minimum price of $1 a bushel for Canadian wheat sold in Canada for Canadian consumption. "This would involve a minimum price on 100,000,000 bushels of our wheat, and obviously would have a stabilizing effect on Cana- dian grain prices," Premier And- erson sald. "This would undoubtedly be a form of protection extended to grain, and I think a further pro- tection might be well extended to this basic industry, encouraging the purchase in Canada of more agricultural products, now being purchased beyond our borders."

Heretofore th high commission er's time has been largely divided between social functions and mat- ters relevant to the migration and Britishers to Canada. With the gove ernment now frowning upon all ime migration, the latter duty has dwindled. Mr. Ferguson, if he accepts, will be, to all intents and purposes, a minister from Canada to England, but he will not be a member of the Federal cabinet. He is said to have a strong repugnance to mixing in Federal politics. At Londom; it is stated, he will be neither a trade agent nor a society host. His duty will be the larger, all-inclusive ona of promoting Canadian interests and relations at the capital of the Empire. sideration. The position at present entails & salary of $10,000 with a $15,000 allowance for expenses, It is ree garded as probable here that if Pree mier Ferguson accepts it, the high commissionership, under its new conception, will carry a salary of $75,000 a year--the same as {is drawn by the President of the Unite son, ed States, Politics will not be a cons
