Ottawa, Ont., April 16.—The govern- ment has placed wheat, wheat flour and semolina on the free list, thus opening United States markets to Canada and Canadian markets to the United States in these products. Under the reciprocal clauses of the American tariff, the United States will admit free wheat and wheat products of any country which admits Ameri- can wheat without duty. The Canadian tariff has heretofore prevented this privilege being availed of. The action taken by the Canadian government today removes the duty and automatically opens the markets of each country to the other. The order is due to difficulty of ex- port abroad owing to shortage of ocean tonnage and the fact that the British market has been practically :lx?::d for Canada wheat of Ilower e. The duties removed are 10 cents a bushel on wheat and 45 cents a barrel on flour. WHEAT PRODUCERS OF DOMINION WILL BENEFIT. If American Crop is Short United States Will Prov Good Market. ‘Washington, April 16.—Canada’s or- der today puiting wheat and wheat products on the free list will be-de- cidedly to the advantage of Dominion producers, officials here said tonight. he American duty on imports of ‘anadian wheat will disappear auto- matically and if the American crop is short the United States may become a {.ood market for the Canadian prod- ucts. Officials here think Canada could have profited long ago by a reciprocal arrangement for free wheat. Coming at this time, they believe the Canadian action was inspired to a large degree by the fact that the Unietd States is now an ally of the British government and that therafors the move Wil be for the common good.

London, April 16, 11 p. m.—Admiral Sir John R. Jellicoe, former command- er of the British grand fleet and now first sea lord, informed The Associated Press during the course of an interview today that anything and everything in the way of small craft, from destroyers to tugs, would be the most useful con- tribution which the United States could make to the war against Ger- man submarines. In this connection the first sea lord asserted that the best hunting ground for raiders is on this side of the water, as the possi- bility of German submarines operat- ing on the American coast is_almost negligible unless they have a base on that side. “I have no desire to minimize to the “the serious ‘situation prevailing as a result of the illegal use of submarines Dy .the Germans. Neither is'it easy for us to take them into our confidence and tell them what we are doing to cope with the evil, without providig the Germans ,with useful information. No methods existe din the past for fighting the submerged submarine and the new inventions and processes for that purpose take time to develop. We are giving your navy all the informa- tion in our possession and, knowing its record, we have great confidence that ican inventive genius will tiupplemenc 7t wl!h valuable contribu- ons. “As far as !ha feeding of the allied populations is ‘concerned, our efforts muset be concentrated on saving ton- nage, while bringing in the necessary supplies. “Our food situation is by no means as desperate as the Germans want to believe it is, but, on the other hand, it is more serious many of our own people realize. “The increasing armament of our mercantile marine has made subma- rines far more cautious and more sub- merged attacks are taking place. Of course, this has one advantage, inass much as the raiders must depend upon their torpedoes for such attacks, and, belng able to carry only a limited ‘number, must return to port sooner than When they ,mld. their attacks from th rface.

We can use everything, from destroyers to tugs of any size.
