Long Term Floor Price For Western Wheat
Prairie grain groups and wheat pool officials examined the federal plan for a long term floor price for Western wheat. Trade Minister MacKinnon announced a guarantee of not less than $1 per bushel for each crop year through July 31, 1960. Manitoba Wheat Pool President W. J. Parker called the plan satisfactory, noting it offers postwar assurance while the Canadian Wheat Board maintains market handling. The plan aims to shield producers from price slumps, with Growers receiving participation certificates and profits when sales exceed the guaranteed level. Canada will ship millions of bushels to the United Kingdom and allies, a factor cited as a moral obligation to aid allies in need.

Britain views India as moving to a federal structure within a future empire
London sources say Britain will not impose a new Indian constitution now and will foster a constituent assembly after elections. The transition could take four to five years, with India eventually deciding representation in London. Major parties differ on independence, but a joint demand could ease power transfer. The elections aim to show if India remains free and united or divided, while Pakistan’s fate remains uncertain.
