Compromise Suggested on Wheat Subsidy Scheme Adelaide
Adelaide reports a proposed compromise on the wheat subsidy plan linked to Mr. Menzies. The idea would have the Commonwealth raise a loan of 3 to 4 million pounds to supplement flour tax revenue while states fund a sinking fund to extinguish the loan in 10 years. The plan seeks to balance federal and state roles, with SA contributing about 20 thousand pounds annually toward the sinking fund if the loan reaches four million. Stakeholders debate feasibility, with Wariness from Victorian ministers and farmers urging practical evaluation and allowing interest-bearing scrip as a near-money substitute. The proposal mirrors the Wilson-Uppill approach, aiming to raise wheat to near production cost and tax the industry to retire the scrip when prices rise. The Federation plans to discuss in Melbourne alongside the Premiers Conference.
