British Food Ministry to End Bacon Price Controls
An official British announcement says price controls on bacon ham and cheese will be removed. A flat price for all bacon types proved unsatisfactory so differential wholesale prices for Danish Canadian and American bacon may be set with Canadian prices higher due to quality. Full relief for Canadian producers depends on abolishing wholesale price regulations. The Montreal chamber of commerce will raise the issue at the Imperial Chambers meeting in Toronto this summer. The shipping ministry may relax controls, but this will not greatly affect Canadian trade. The report notes public pushback against high farm prices and demand for imported meat. Also a medical aside describes two kinds of intestinal worms and endorses Miller's Worm Powders.
