AUSTRAUANWHEAT
CRISIS CAUSES SPLIT
#
Labor Party Caucus, Over Cabinet i
Protest, Favors Government Pay
ing Growers 72 Cent*.
By the Associated Press.
CANBERRA, Australia, December 12
—A resolution asking legislation for an
initial payment of 72 cents a bushel to
Australian wheat growers yesterday was
passed by the caucus of the Australian
Labor party over the protest of the Fed
eral Labor cabinet.
The figure is above the present world
price and the caucus apparently Intends
to place responsibility for refusing the
necessary funds upon the Common
wealth Bank. This bank had agreed to
a maximum price of 48 cents a bushel
fob, and the cabinet under pressure
proposed to advance 60 cents a bushel.
A figure of 72 cents a bushel as pro
posed by the fcarty caucus, however. Is
regarded as Irrelevant to the realities of
the situation. It is asserted this pay
ment would involve a loss to the bank,
or else to the Australian taxpayers, of
at least $35,000,000 at the present world
level of wheat prices.
