Monty Outlines Army Philosophy Against Politics
Field Marshal Montgomery declares the army must stay outside politics and soldiers owe allegiance to the state not to personal views. He argues the army should be socially woven into the nation, training leaders and maintaining discipline while democracy rests on freedom. His remarks, given at a press conference in Ottawa, frame a push to dispel political prejudice toward the service.

Greater Returns For Farmers Seen
Trade Minister MacKinnon told the Canadian commons that any forthcoming international wheat conferences would yield much greater returns for Canadian wheat producers than the current Britain contract. He said policy would be set in light of the conferences, and an international agreement could supersede the Britain deal, with possible changes to the last two years of the UK contract. Dr. C. F. Wilson led Canada's delegation to the preparatory committee.

West Farmer Delegation In Ottawa
A western farmers delegation led by F. T. Appleby of Saskatchewan arrived in Ottawa to press for parity prices. Delegates from Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan plan talks with federal officials, though no appointment has yet been made due to Field Marshal Montgomery's arrival. The group threatens to withhold farm deliveries if their demands are unmet, while stressing they will avoid ruckus. Parity means equating farm prices with industrial wages.

Coal Famine Faces East as U S Imports Cut
Ottawa reports a major fuel shortage as reduced U S coal imports and a coke shortage shrink Ontario supply by about 17 to 44 percent this winter. Minister Howe says western coal could offset some losses but western mine strikes would block that. Strikes in both countries blamed for the crisis. Canada may receive 300 000 tons of coal and 175 000 tons briquettes from the west if available.
