N "In future the demand ought to expand further and it is essential meanwhile that the quality should be kept up and that the very ef- ficacious propaganda that has been carried on in the United Kingdom should not only be con- tinued but increased. "A quantity of 'Grey' sugar is sold every year to Canada and in this respect it is just possible that a little more co-operation among sellers and some kind of agreed selling policy among the various West Indian #slands might result in better prices being secured, but the question is a delicate one because 'Canadian re- finers are on the alert and if they thought prices were being held up against them, they might adopt retaliatory measures."
