The piece notes Australia’s shift to Pacific focus and the need for expanded international trade to achieve lasting peace.

Cooperative Society Mooted by Guyra Potatoes Group
The Guyra branch of the Potato Growers' Association considers forming a cooperative for potato handling and grading. A proposed grading unit would cost about £217 10s, with a committee to consult the Farmers' Union. Directors and levy rebates are discussed, and Guyra gains board representation for the first time. Estimated NSW certified seed yield for 1944 45 is 4000 tons. Barlow Co‑operative Society rebates topped £6000 last year, projected to £10,000–£11,000 this year.
