$2 Export Top
H B
Proposal up
For Approval
WASHINGTON. March 8 IIP) A
Ung a $2 celling price on wheat exported by the United States, Canada
and Australia was announced today.
The international wheat council made public the five-year pact
It Is subject to approval by the U. 8. congress and to ratification by
the other governments concerned.
The agreement fixes a minimum price as well as the 83 maximum.
The minimum will be 81.60 a bushel In the first year, 1048-49. It will
drop 10 cents a bushel annually until 1953 when the minimum will be
11.10 a bushel.
Between the top and bottom prices, the agreement provides, trans
actions will be "freely concluded and prices moved In accordance with
market conditions."
The 33 countries Importing wheat are pledged to buy not less than
800,000.000 bushels from the three exporting countries. Canada would
ship 230,000.000 bushels, the United
States, 185,000,000, nd Australia,
85.000.000.
Tre agreed celling price Is about
V cents a bushel below the present
market. Russia and Argentine re
fused to take part in the agreement.
Argentina has been selling wheat to
Europe at about 84.85 a bushel.
Argentina Balks
Argentina said it would not enter
any wheat pact unless the govern
ments also agreed on a broad trade
treaty covering trucks, farm equip
ment and other machinery of the
type Argentina imports.
The announcement of the pact by
Leslie A. Wheeler, council chairman,
said:
"At the maximum price the ex
porter must sell the quantity he has
guaranteed to deliver and at the
minimum price the Importer moat
purchase the quantity he has guar
anteed to buy.
Several members of congress from
fam states have said they will op.
pose ratification of the agreement.
Undersecretary of Agriculture N.
R. Dodd. who Is the signer for the
U. S. government, said Uie pact may
be referred to congress as a treaty
or as an executive agreement In
either case It would be up to con.
gress to decide whether the senate
alone should act or whether both
house and senate should approve.
The agreement follows talks con
tinued here since last January 2s.
as well as an unsuccessful effort in
London in 1947. Wheeler said the
agreement "climaxes many yean of
effort to stabilize the world wheat
market through international co
operation."
It would take effect August 1, if
ratified.
