Canadian War Agencies Shape Home Front Efforts

The WPTB fights inflation, the Wartime Information Board tells Canada's war story, and the National Film Board showcases mobilization through film and displays overseas. Returns note lower wheat acres offset by oats barley and flaxseed sowing, plus details on the soldiers point system and Pacific/German troop roles. Steel production in early 1945 rose about 6 percent from 1944, with most output destined for war needs against Japan and remaining for consumer goods.
