Argentina Opposes Global Wheat Control Post Peace
Paris reports that all major powers except Argentina favor government price guarantees for wheat and European subsidies to bread supply, risking continued state control of trade next year.

The last U.S. food ship under the Allied food organization sails in July unless Congress acts. Hoover argues for resumed normal trade as no guarantees exist for other commodities.
