The European advisory commission guides policy with national plans in Britain, the United States, and Russia shaping zones and Berlin control. Robert Murphy leads American planning with a team of experts in England.

British pig farmers fear postwar market collapse from Canadian bacon
London farmers hear from H R Davidson that postwar Britain risks losing pig markets as Canada exports bacon with subsidies. Prewar UK bacon supply ran 10.67 million cwt yearly.
