| In February 1942, 400 Saskatchewan representatives,
armed with a petition bearing 185,000 signatures, arrived in Ottawa to ask for higher wheat prices. 232 |
 |
| The delegation traveled by train and elected
Jack Wesson to be their spokesperson. 233 |
“Never before had Saskatchewan’s problems been
so thoroughly impressed on Ottawa in such orderly fashion. Of the delegation’s
major demands, however, none was granted soon or as a direct result of the demonstration.”
