It was understood that more reâ€" cent shipments also _have been made via the United Kingdom, and for convenience recent supplies for Russia have been taken from Unitâ€" ed Kingdom stocks of wheat ready for shipment at the Canadian seaâ€" board. _ Arrangements are made between Canada and the United Kingdom and Mr. MacKinnon said wheat shipments have in fact reâ€" presented a contribution by Canâ€" ada to the Russian food supplies. OTTAWA.â€"Canadian wheat has moved to Russia "in considerable amounts" in recent months in the form of flour, and negotiations for further supplies now are under way, Hon. J. A. MacKinnon, minâ€" ister of trade and commerce, reâ€" vealed today. Mr. MacKinnon said it appeared proboble that Canadian flour was included in the cargoes of several convoys which have fought their way through to Russian ports this year. Last year shipments of Canadian wheat and flour went to northern Rusian ports via the United Kingâ€" dom, and were welcomed as vital food supplies for Russian armies. Since July 1 this year shipments of wheat and flour from the Unitâ€" ed States to Russia have been arâ€" ranged under a leaseâ€"lend agreeâ€" ment, but in ‘addition to these supâ€" plies Canadian supplies will also be required. _ _ _ _ _ s Although Mr. MacKinnon had no comment to make on this point, it was learned that the Canadian government has made credit arâ€" rangements to facilitate movement of grain. Huge supplies are held by the Canadian wheat board in the name of the Canadian government and these stocks can be drawn on when required. s â€" ARE YOU SAFE AT HOME?

Workers thrilled as the plane taxied to a flagâ€"covered receiving stand and the crowd got an idea of its tremendous size. The Hon. C. D.
