Darby of the Winnipeg Grain Exchange notes importing countries may seek higher prices via policy, while the exchange favours free open markets and hints at a wheat board as a possible solution to dispose of government holdings.

Legal experts weigh whether the Foreign Enlistment Act applies to dominions and British subjects abroad. Opinions favor that the act covers all British subjects, unless a dominion passes contrary legislation, potentially imposing two years' imprisonment for volunteers from beyond dominions. The Westminster statute requires explicit dominion consent for UK acts to bind them, as in Canada where the government requested and agreed to enactment.
