Wheat Price and Policy in War Time Australia
The article argues Australia must support Britain's war effort through wheat control. It compares wartime marketing, prices, and pools with 1914 15, noting the Commonwealth Australian Wheat Board now regulates sales and exports while states oversee inland handling. It highlights Canada and Argentina as price benchmarks, shipping constraints, and urges early farmer payments and confident funding via advances and flour excise to sustain harvests.
