Canada unpegs its dollar raising defense material costs. Federal anti inflation tools advance with real estate controls and tax withholding. Calls grow for an Economic Stabilization Agency with power to set price and wage ceilings.

MacArthur Relief Plan Faces Winter Demands
Officials outline steps to aid war victims as winter nears. The plan relies on ECA, State, and Army coordination with MacArthur’s command. Initial needs peak around 140 million dollars, funded by re allocated ECA leftovers and new appropriations. UN contributions include 40,000 tons of rice from Thailand and 2 million dollars from Uruguay, but delivery is slow. The relief effort shifts toward supporting South Korea’s self reliance with a total potential cost surpassing 250 million dollars.
