WHEAT MARKETING.
AUSTRALIAN PROPOSALS. (United Press Association—Copyright) CANBERRA, March 13. The Wheat Commission's recommendations, which were before the Federal Ministerial Party to-day, suggests that immediate action should be taken to create a home consumption price for wheat and a compulsory marketing scheme. The home consumption price would be financed by an excise duty on flour. This procedure is already in operation in connection with the current harvest. Boards to administer the marketing and home consumption price are recommended %l the commission, which also suggests that groups of farmers be assisted to obtain machinery and helped to reduce overhead costs. The commission's report will come before the Australian Agricultural Council in April. MR STEVENS' POINT OF VIEW. NOT ENTIRELY ACCEPTABLE. (Received This Day, 11.5 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. The State Premier (Mr B. S. B. Stevens) says that although he has not had time to thoroughly examine the Wheat Commission's report, he has formed the impression that in some particulars the recommendations will not meet with the approval of the State Government or the wheatgrowers.
