The appeals were made on a petit

out perfectly the tremendous OBJ
s%tacles which must be overcome
before freedom from want" can
be met. Many United Nations del
egates have said no political
agreements can stick unless such
economic problems as this n
can be ironed out.
Here were some of the main
differences:
l. At the start of the talks the
United States insisted on a five
year agreement, with a top price
of not less than Sl.80 which would
stand for two years. It would a.
agree to being limited to Is per
cent of the first $50 million bush
els which moved in world trade.
Then it wanted a larger share.
In the late '30s about $50 million
bushels moved in world trade.
2. The United Kingdom, which
buys wheat, wanted a three-year
top price of $1.55.
3. Canada wanted a price range
of S1.25 to S1.55. which would be
set for only an initial quantity of
wheat in trade. After that the rest
would be sold at whatever price
was possible.
4. Australia generally supports
the U. S.
5. Argentina Nhe fourth big ex-
porter of wheat refused to join
any plan.
To get around Argentina's lone
wolf stand. the British proposed
that the buying nations guarantee
yearly purchases of about 80 per
cent of their needs at no less than
an agreed floor price. The three

BY SIGRID ARNE

WASHINGTON, May "a -lP)-
The peace machinery is about to
get its first basic economic test
in a wheat program which is near
ing agreement among more than
20 nations.
The SUBJECTS sounds dry. But it
can mean better living for mil
lions around the world-for farm
ers and for the millions to whom
the price of bread can mean the
difference between hunger and
enought to eat.
The men who IT writing the
world wheat program are driving
toward three goals: Q) to fix floor
and ceiling prices for wheat, (2)
to see that the world produces
neither more nor less wheat than
it needs, go to see that areas of
recurring famine get bread.
Wheat talks have been going on
since the '30s, when American
farmers faced bankruptcy be-
case U. S. wheat dropped to 50
cents a bushel. Ii is now around
S2.5O, but it is expected to drop
when the War-Wrecked nations get
back to pre-War prediction. The
trick will pe TO stop the drop be-
fore it goes too far.
For the nations which buy
wheat-21 of them have been at
tending the wheat talks-the inn
mediate job is to get agreement
on a top price they can afford
to pay.
The talks nave been going on
in the International Wheat coun-
Gil. which includes most of the
wheat buying and selling nations.
In March and April there was a
world wheat conference in London
which carried the plans further.
They're back in the council now
for refinement.
The talks started with a plan
written oy the United Nations
Food and Agriculture organlza-
ton. That proposed most lmpor-
family:
/. Prices to range between Sl.l6
and s1.55.
2. Limits to be placed on export
wheat when prices fall to ITO per
cent Of the agreed floor price.
Then the four exporting nations
would be held to the following per-
centages of the wheat sold IN
world trade-United States Is per
cent, Australia 10 per cent, Argen-
tina Is percent, Canada 40 per-
cent.
3. Exporting nations would be
permitted to sell below the agreed
floor price to the nations which
have recurring famines, providing
