Correspondence Regarding the Passage of S-502 Flour Subsidy Bill in 1945, 1945-05-29

The document includes correspondence regarding a bill (S-502) that provides subsidies for flour. The House passed the bill, authorizing $190 million in subsidies, and it is now awaiting consideration by the Senate. There is urgency in passing the bill to remove uncertainty for businesses relying on the subsidy. Another letter discusses the Pace Bill, which includes farm labor in parity formulas for farm products, specifically affecting wheat prices. There is opposition to further subsidies and concern about the impact on prices and international competition. The recipient of the letters promises to study the bills and vote accordingly.
