Abstract
To the general public, international wheat agreements seem to
have been either coming or going for nearly two decades, but to
those engaged in framing them it has been a continuous and progressive
process. The historical record of the various stages which
follows here in quotation marks should be read in that light. It is
drawn practically word for word from the account given in the
I.F.A.P. Monthly Bulletin, Vol. r, No. 3, 1949. As the SecretaryGeneral
of I.F.A.P., Dr. Andrew Cairns, has been so long and persistently
associated with international efforts at agreement, especially as
Secretary first of the Wheat Advisory Committee and later of the International
Wheat Council, this account should be well authenticated.
