Western prairie credit plan and bank reforms urged
A western interprovincial committee recommends a non profit agricultural credit corporation funded by federal and provincial governments with borrower input. It calls for price support to raise farm income, debt adjustment options, bank reform capping interest, grain collateral lending, insurance, unemployment relief loans, and central bank control of exchange. It cites distress with bank practices and suggests Bankruptcy Act amendments. A separate note cites a beef auction record at the Eastern States exposition with a $11.15 per pound bid for a Pine Plains, New York calf.

Secretary Henry Wallace told the United States Grain Dealers Association that price fixing without production control will fail. He warned inflationists and price fixers could push Congress to seek harsh agricultural policy. He predicted higher farm prices may come, but only if the nation reduces crop acreage by 40 million acres and maintains tariff restraint to avoid foreign debt pressure.
