CANADA HOLDS'1
KEYSTO WORLD
WHEAT TRADE
is
; -
E1-
Surplus Piled Up By
Government To Be
Ready For Big Short ^
| age.
CHICAGO, Aug. 31—<i«P)—■{Can-
ada, traditional competitor of Un-
Ited States wheat growers, held a
key position in the world wheat
situation today and uncertainty as
to governmental intentions for the
ultimate disposition of the domin-
ion’s surplus has again become an
.important factor in the gran trade.
’ Whether that time for which
Canadians haxp waited—when the
world will be at their door asking
* for wheat—is at hand, grain trad-
ers were not prepared to say. The
fact is, however, Canada has a
large wheat surplus, pent up by
'government policy of holding for
higher prices, while the United
States, as a result of three years
of crop losses, has been transform-
ed from an exporting to virtually
an importing nation.
Anxiety as to the new Canadian
wheat board's policy and delay in
its announcement of the minimum
price to be paid growers for new'
crop wheat was a restricting in-
fluence on trade in the pit here this
week.
Wheat this morning compared
with a week; ago was 2 7-8—3 1-4
cents a bushel lower, corn 3 3-4 off
to |-2 up, oaks 2—2 1-8 down and
'provisions varying from 18 to 45
cents lower.
With war clouds in Europe, the
world’s principal wheat nfarket,
thickening, Canada’s position is
believed to be enhanced. Russia is
expected to be a fair exporter but
stocks in thi southern hemisphere
are the lightest in a long time and
Argentine new crop prospects are
reported to be the poorest. Austra-
lia is also having poor crop wea-
ther. ^
Estimates of probable United
States myiers’ importations of Can-
adian wheat before the end of the
crop year have run as high as 50.-
esse Lasky And Mary Pickford ____________
Partners Again After 20 Years JQ J||Qp
~~ UP BIG CHORES
HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Aug. 31
UP)—The happy ending of a story
that started with a “wrong guess”
Just 20 years ago this month was
recorded today in the reunion 6f
Mary Pickford and Jesse Lasky as
a film producing team.
The two announced the forma-
tion of their new company last
night. It will be called Pickford-
Lasky Productions. Inc., and films
made will be released through
United Artists.
In the summer of 1915, their
first association began. At that
time Lasky was vice-president of
the old Famous Players—Lasky
company.
Miss Pickford, golden curled.*
had not yet become “America's
sweetheart.”
“My first Job was to find a story
for her,” the producer said today.
“I've guessed wrong many times
in my life—but never more badly
than I did with that assignment.”
Lasky said a warm personal
friendship arose between himself
and Mary and the determination
grew, in his mind, to use every
resourse of the company to fur-
ther her career.
*‘I picked a story for her call-
ed ‘Less Than the Dust,” he said,
“Even in those days, stars some-
times had a voice in the selection
of their stories. Without making
an issue of it, she told me she
didn’t see that script as a suitable
story for her. I convinced her she
was wrong and so we made the
picture.”
The picture, he said,: was a col-
ossal failure.
f “It failed %o terribly,” Lasky
said, “we were afraid, for a time.
We had killed Mary's chances on
fhe screen. By that time, all of us
sere convinced of her enormous
potentialities. So. of course, the
thought that we might tiave nipped
them in the bud, with this first
picture, was a real tragedy to us.
"The responsibility lay entirely
on my shoulders.
“So I went to her and said.
‘Mary, I’ll never be satisfied until
I make that up to you.”
Lasky never produced another
of hrf pictures. Other men in the
company supervised and produced
them.
Later, Lasky became the head of
Paramount, then a unit producer
at Fox. Miss Pickford organized
g unit in United Artists.
Twenty years later they are to-
gether again as president and vice-
president respectively, of the same
companV.
“It’s a long time to wait,” Lasky
said. “But I've finally got the
chance to make it up to her for
nearly wrecking her career in
1915.”

Recently Broomhall pointed out
the new Canadian crop, despite

300,000,000 bushels, which plus the
carry-over of 214,000,#00 makes a
total of 514 600,000 in all positions.
“It is clear that Canada will have
