...prospect was not as bright as it was a month ago. By last week traders had reduced their estimates of the Canadian crop to the point where Canada would have only about 160,000,000 bu. for export. And Australia, still four months from harvest, was put down for an exportable surplus of only 70,000,000 bu. out of this year's crop?less than half of normal. Thus Canada & Australia between them could barely supply the Mother Country's needs...
Statistically the biggest unknown factor last week was Russia, world's largest wheat-grower. Careless harvesting methods cost Russia nearly a quarter of her last year's crop. This year spring heat waves ripened the southern fields early, forcing peasants to harvest by night under the glare of electric lamps. Best estimates were that the total crop would be 700,000,000 bu., 30% less than last year.

...harvest moon, the round face of Tory Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill rose in the House of Commons seven weeks ago to demand a parliamentary investigation. To wreck the Indian Reform Bill he had counted heavily on a report of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce on Japanese dumping and the fall of British cotton exports to India. The final report was mild as milk. Tory Churchill roundly insisted that it had been changed from its original draft after the Manchester cotton men had been feted, fed & flattered by Sir Samuel Hoare. a Secretary of State for India, and Lord Derby...
