Wheat for Vietnam Committee

  • Corporate body
  • 1970-

At a conference in Regina on March 7 & 8, 1970, the Wheat for Vietnam Committee, a national organization was established by some prairie farmers and others offering aid in the form of wheat to the people of war torn Vietnam. The secretary of the Committee was Lloyd Mattson of Moose Jaw. They were asking farmers to pledge wheat. Monetary donations would also be accepted to cover expenses. Once they had enough pledges to ensure the success of the campaign, the Committee would consult with the proper government authorities about transporting the wheat to the terminal point in Vancouver. In a letter to Mr. Mattson from the Canadian Minister of Agriculture, the Honourable Otto E. Lang, dated November 23, 1970 it appears Mr. Lang is not supportive of the Wheat for Vietnam initiative. After this there is no further material to document what became of the Committee or their objectives.
