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, * * * LEARN TO LAUGH Cultivate an eye for the ridiculous. And remember; There's no spectacle' so absurd as the man who tries to shoulder the whole world's burdens, * * 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 all Weather system wilt be installed at New York City's idlewild Airport, ac- cording to W.
