National Council To Be Established In Defence Plan
Canberra decision overshadowed all else as Premiers met to discuss the Loan Council and Premieres Conference. The plan calls for a National Council with the Prime Minister and the Premiers to advise on defence and emergency measures, with a first meeting planned soon after Easter unless international events demand earlier talks. Lyons indicated the council would advise rather than intrude on states rights, focusing on defence policy, industry, and Commonwealth–State coordination.

No Agreement From Wheat Board and Millers Conference
In Toowoomba a conference between the State Wheat Board and four millers failed to yield a deal on hods for pulled wheat. The board offered Darling Harbour price with various rebates, while millers demanded delivery price in Brisbane and extra subsidies. The board signalled possible minor concessions but not a full agreement. In Bendigo, a separate report notes early moves in Indi seat campaigns for Mr McEwen and party strategies ahead of the election.
