asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the importance of inducing Turkey to trade with this country rather than with Germany, he will consider what steps can be taken to increase the import of Turkish agricultural products into this country?

Yes, Sir. Discussions are at present taking place in London with a Turkish Delegation, and I have every reason to hope that they will facilitate the sale of Turkish agricultural and other products in this country. In the meantime, certain provisional measures have been introduced so as to take advantage of the opening of the main Turkish exporting season. The possibility of Turkish goods being purchased by the appropriate Departments of His Majesty's Government is also being actively examined.
