Wheat Policy Unchanged On Canadian Wheat for Britain
Washington and Ottawa report no change in policy for Marshall Plan purchases of Canadian wheat for Britain. AEC denies a London claim that no more purchases will be authorized, but signals a wait and see stance as Canadian allocations loom. Canada worries over market stability as a four year Anglo Canadian wheat pact expires July 31 1950. If Britain cannot fund grain purchases, Canada may rely on a proposed international wheat agreement to provide a steady market with a price ceiling around 1.83 per bushel and floors near 1.20 to 1.50. A London round table with Britain the United States and Canada to discuss imports after 1950 is anticipated.
