colossal problems of strategy, econom-
ics and administration.
Already two of the greatest states,
Hyderabad and Travancore, have de-
clared for independence and Bhopal is
expected to follow suit. Some, like
Patiala, the Sikh State, and Bikaner
have shown willingness to join either
Moslem Pakistan or the Hindu Indian
Union, Hindustan. Mysore, which is
larger than Eire is willing to accept
the British plan and is joining the
Constitutional Assembly in New Delhi,
These are great states 'by any com-
putation. Some of them are as large as
European countries, Hyderabad is 83,-
000 square miles in area with a popula-
tion of over 16 million inhabitants,
which is twice the population of Port-
ugal. Mysore has seven million in a
territory of 30,000 squati miles; Kash-
mir has four million and 84,000 square
miles; Travancore has six million in-
habitants and the twenty-three Rajjput
States, which together form the larg .
est non-British territorial unit in India,
have eleven and one-half million peo-
le. Of course there are also some very
small states like Bilbari in " Gujerat,
which is ouly one and two-thirds
square miles in area with a population
of twenty-seven anti an annual income
of $25 to $30.
Britain As a paramount power, had
Always retained control of the exter'llai
affairs of these states, as well as cer-
tain rights of interference in extreme
cases of shocking abuses on the part of
the rulers, but, with varying degrees
of difference, important rulers—more
than a hundred of them---were guaran-
teed territorial integrity and the exer-
cise of sovereign powers in all internal
affairs; some have their own armies
and sortie have foreign friends. They
are like islands in the sea of British In-
dia. The big states may hold off for a
while and a few may'even get Domin-
ion status; the weak, the wicked and
tyrannical rulers will likely be swept
away, while the strong, progressive and
beloved rulers may remain; but, in ev-
ery case they will be compelled to join
Pakistan, Hindustan or a United India,
sooner or later.

WHEAT BOARD
ACT AMENDED
An act to amend the Canadian
Wheat Board Act has been passed by
the current session of Parliament. Its
essential purpose was to extend, until
July 31, 1950, the monopolistic powers
with respect to wheat which, since Sep-
tember, 1943, have been enjoyed by the
Canadian Wheat Board. Such powers
would otherwise have expired with the
death of Orders-in-Council p,..ssed un-
der the Emergency Powers Act.
Thus it becomes possible for the
Government, on the one hand, to carry
out the plan for pooling the returns of
five successive wheat crops, those har-
vested from 1945 to 1949, inclusive,
The new Act makes statutory,. the
powers of the Wheat Board to control
deliveries of wheat and other grains
by means of permit books. Every far,
mer has the right to demand of the
Wheat Board that a permit book be is-
sued to him but it is left to the discre-
tion of the Board to decide what quo-
tas may be established from time to
time and what method 'of allocating
quotas may be followed.
The bill makes statutory, the initial
price of $1.35 per bushel for the five
wheat crops included in the pooling ar-
rangement. There is nothing in the Act
about the domestic price of wheat.
Since the Board is an agency of the
Government, it will have to sell wheat
from time to time for domestic use at
whatever price it is directed by the
Government to charge.
*
WHEAT PRICE PROSPECTS
What will be the course of wheat,
prices for the next few years? On that
point two conflicting points of view
are held by the Government of Great
Britain and of the :United States. The
British view is that world prices not
•
only ought to come down, but will
come down before long. The American
view is that a strong demand for wheat
is likely to maintain good prices at
least until 1950,
In essence, it was the-cenflict
tween these points of view which pre-
vented the recent London "Wheat Con-
ference from drafting an acceptable in-
ternational agreement. British repre-
sentatives declared they could not ac-
cept the price plan offere'd by the Unit-
ed States, and acceptable to Canada
and Australia, because it would not
permit wheat prices to come down
rapidly enotigh, Representatives of the
United States refused to consider the
price range which would have been ac-
ceptable to Great Britain.
The American paint of view was pre-
sented recently in a forecast made by
the United States secretary of agricul-
ture, Mr. Anderson, in testimony be-
fore a congressional sub-committee at
Washington. He told the sub-commit-
tee. that he expected favorable prices
for agricultural products for the crops
of 1947, 1948 and 1949, By "favorable
prices" he meant quotations higher
than the level at which the government
is required by law to support farm
prices. That forecast, he said, was bas-
ed on present world shortages of man-
power, of fertilizer and of seed, and
the continuing world food shortages,

WEEKLY THOUGHT
Relax. Simplify your life, Cut out
the nonessentials. Hurry and worry go
hand in hand. Remember, Pascal; "All
the troubles of man come from his not
knowing how to sit still." So take it
easy. What's the hurry

KNOW WINGHAM
Lower Wingham or "Lower Town"
is Wingham's largest suburb. It was
the original "Wingham", but spring
flooding of some of its low-lying land
caused the town site to be moved
cross the Maitland river to the higher
land in "Upper Town". Lower Wing-
ham is a pretty suburb and it is ideally
located just west of the Maitland river.
Most residents of Lower Wingham
own their own comfortable homes and
many have a small acreage of land.,
There is also a choice section of Lower
Wingham situated on the higher ter-
rain south of the Maitland river, which
should become a sprendid residential
suburb in the not-too-diStant future,

BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN
A revolutionary system of airport
lighting that tests indicate will enable
pilots to make visual landings despite
the thickest fog- or snow was revealed
recently by lighting engineers of the
Aviation officials watched a test of the
world's brightest lights-3,3000,000,000
peak candlepower each—produce light-
ning-like flashes 'designed to penetrate
any weather for at least 1,000 feet,
These lights guide the pilot to the run-
way.
The system will use another combin-
ation alights to tell whether the run-
way is clear, while a third set brilliant-
ly outlines the runway. The new sys-
tem links 36 of these "lightening
lights" with 36 more of somewhat les-
ser brilliance to carry the artifibial
lightning, stroke nearly two-thirds of a
mile, If all lights flashed at .onee the
120 billion candlepower Produced
would momentarily equal the 'bright-
ness of more than 1,800,000,000 house-
hold bulbs of the 60-watt variety.
A six-unit experimental installation
of the all weather approach light Hue
at the Cleveland iMunibipal Airport was
the scene of the test:The first complete

Unimaginable amounts of concrete, steel and other materials, as well

It takes several months now to get such equipment as transformers

With an additional badly needed half-millton horsepower? Well, they are being built. They were started years ago. But they cannot
all be ref* in 1947. Some won't be ready next year.
