How Lumber Looks

Los-Angeles_ Harbor's nine-day,,liftboard dispute" tieup ended on March 24. The longshoremen and employers accepted a return-to-work proposal by Albert Rosensliine, spegial Federal arbiter, pending arbitrition. Hearings began o.n March3OatLongBeach. Iiis expected that Mr] Roinshine will spend thrie or four days ii taking testimony and another week in reviewing evidence befori rendering his decision.

According to reports to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association from the regional associations, durine the week ended March 12, 5I9 mills produ ced 17!,142,000 tit oi hardwoods and softwoods combined; shipped i29,335,000 feet, and booked orders of 186,000,000 feet.

_ Reports from 96 hardwood mills for the week gave new business-as 5,936,000 feet; shipments 6,312,000 feet]and pro- duction 10,763,000 feet.

A total of. 149 down and operating mills in Washington and Oregon which reported to the WJst Coast Lumberm-en's Association for the week ended March 19, produce d, g4,Zn,890 feet of lumber. At the rate of cutting at the reporting mills, the entire industry produced 53.8 per cent of its aver"_ age weekly cut during 1926-n.

The new business_r_ep-orted taken during the week by tle-se mills_ was 93,977,L49 f.eet, and shipmenis were 97 g$:_ 236 feet. The unfitled order file stood ai 324,4g5,947 teet.

The Association states that production, orders and ship_ ments, as shown in this week's report continue extremeiy low for the time of year. A check oi the record shows thesl movements to be lower than the averages of March as re_ ported to the Association in any year si-nce 1935.

The Western Pine Association, for the rveek ended March 19, Ln mills reporting, gave production as 44,052,000 feet; shipments 58,654,000 feet, and new business 55.272.000 feet. New business was 26.5 per cent above production, and 4.9 per cent below shipments. Shipments u'ere 33.1 per cent above production. Orders on hand at the end of the r,veek totaled 165,317,0@ feet.

The California Redrvood Association. for the week ended Mar.ch 12, reported production of 13 mills as 6,197,000 feet; shipments 5,I67,W feet, and new business 6,€5,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 42.194.W) feet'

The Southern Pine Association for the week ended March 19,126 mills reporting, gave production as 27,951,000 feet; shipments 27,882,W feet, and new business 25,894,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 67J41.W feet'

Construction operations in Los Angeles for the month of I\{arch vvill run above $5,000,000, about 91,000,000 over the February total, according to the Department of Building and Safety. The March total is also ahead of March 1937, rvhen the total was $4,398,000.

The volume of home building in Los Angeles, reflecting the stimulus furnished by the new Federal Housing Administration liberalized loan program, is mounting rapidly, the Department's records show, rvith the possibility that the number of permits approved for erection of single- family dwellings rvill exceed 500 for the month of March.

Vagabond Editorials

Bv Jack D,ionne

Laugh like a boy at splendors that have spedTo vanished joys be blind, and deaf, and dumb; By judgments seal the dead past with its deadBut never bind a moment yet to come.

Saw the statement of a public utility the other day that made me scratch my head. They had their figures on taxation translated into comparisons that drove them home, and home hard. Get this selected statement: In 1913 their taxes per year per subscriber was 13 cents; in 1937 their annual tax per subscriber was $5.65. *:B*

And I guess you know who paid that $5.65, don't you, Mr. Subscriber? Another item in their tax sheet showed that their taxes for 1937 totaled more than fifty per cent of their entire payroll. And you paid it, Mr. Subscriben And next year you will pay still more; and the next year more again; and. so on. Just keep saying that over and over for years to come, a4d you'll have the facts without exaggeration. ,i rf rt.

And in addition to the things already known that have to be paid for there will be armament taxes. With all the rest of the world arming, we're going to arm, also. Don't doubt it. And that will be another bulge in the coming tax bill.

Did you knorv that the world is spending SIX TIMES as much for arms and armament today as it was spending immediately prior to the starting of theWorld War in l9l4? And they are not buying those guns and munitions just to scare the neighbors with, either. **:t

A man I know has been trying to finance a large industrial proposition. On paper it looks like something good to eat. But even investments that look,that good are hard to finance in these days of trembling dollar-owners. But my friend found a capitalist who had that much idle money, and who decided to consider the investment very seriously. ***

He did. And he turned it down. Gave as his reason the fact that he is about seventy years of age, and didn't dare make the investment on that account. Shoutd he die before the money had been returned the inheritance tax would gobble up half of it, and, his family being unable

to pay, the investment itself would be sold on ttre auction block by the government to satisfy its tax claim- He risked putting the future of his family in financial jeopardy if he made the investment. So that large gob of cash remains practically idle, and hundreds of men who would have been employed, remain idle also. ***

A big oil corporation closed its books for 1937 and found that its tax bill for the year amounted to $3,300 per employe, $1,020 per stockholder, and $3.50 per share of outstanding stock. It paid dividends of 80 cents per share of stock. Two fellows paid that huge bill-Mr. Consumer and Mr. Stockholder * * ,r

And jumping from taxes to labor-two of the prime causes of our present little depression-it was William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, who made .THIS statement to an alumni meeting of the University of Wisconsin: "Labor and capital have a common cause to protect against autocratic usurpation of power over their destiny by government agency, whether it be the National Labor Relations Board or any proposed board to substitute itself for the parties in determining for them the terms and conditions under which labor and capital shall, side by side, function together. Labor, no less than capital, demands that every sound endeavor which has economic qtility be allowed to function and not be stifed or destroyed by government fiat, whether given through the taxing power, through restrictive legislation, or through discrimination." ***

Mr. Green knows, what others seem unwilling to learn, that business must be allowed to operate free and unfettered under the profit system, if the men who need jobs in this country are ever to be reemployed. Green added in his Madison speech that American industry is in a state of convalescence and needs no severe nostrums.

An editor of the t"" O"*r* Times predicts that the great man of the present century will be he who "originates a plan whereby the people of this country can take full advantage of the plenty nature is always tryingto thrust upon us." I've been trying to say that same thing in this column for six years. Some day \,ee are going to produce

(Continued from Page 6) all the worth-while things we can, fill all our stomachs, clothe all our nakedness, house all our people and their possessions comfortably, and heap our reserve shelves high with necessities. Then we will have prosperity. We will quit worrying about PRICES and do something about VALUES. ,r :F *

A very wise man onbe said: "Any fool can succeed in the midst of a business boom. It takes hard times to sift the good men from the bad ones, the strong ones from the weak ones." True. But after we get them sifted, it is hardly fair to tell the weak ones to quit working, and make the strong ones support them.

clarence Darrow, ."" ; ;":** men of his day and age, died the other day. The thinkers of this entire land acclaimed him as one of the great thinkers and workers of his time. He was our most famous champion of the "under dog." Once when a canvass was made to see whether an audience thought him right or wrong in a certain matter, the majority decided AGAINST Darrow. Whereon he philosophically remarked: "If the majority had been in my favor I should have known I was wrong." The ruthlessness of majorities was one of the obsessions of his life.

Wise men have frequently remarked of late that we are at this moment passing through one of the most dangerous and terrific stages in the history of this world. True. Maybe it would be a good time for us to remember how insignificant the world is, and therefore how unimportant these things must look had we an Infinite viewpoint from which to gaze upon them. Modern astronomy counts ,.billions of stars" in the cosmic group or galaxy to which our sun belongs. Many of these stars are a million times as big as our sun, and our sun is a million times as big as this earth. Outside of this particular galaxy to which our earth and sun belong, astronomy finds at least amillion other stellar universes, each as great as our own little famity of say thirty billion suns and solar systems. And astronomy believes that these countless solar systems are inhabited by thinking beings.Why not? So, in perspective, what does poor little Hitler amount to, anyway?

There is a Power, ." ,;;r;ce that created those tritlions of suns, and keeps them in their courses, and runs and looks after a universe so vast that no human mind can wen imagine it. If we knew one-tenth as much about that Intelligence and Its application as we should, we wouldn't have to worry about Hitler and the like. The most unemployed and under-developed power in this little world is the HUMAN MIND. Some day we will start

using it properly, and the entire face of things will bc changed.

Prize for timely advertising goes to the fellow who drove around Los Angeles during a big rain storm, carrying on his car a big sign that read: "Gee, but I wish f was in Florida."

Automobile sales are off the last year's volume nearly forty per cent. When you figure that one out of about every seven people in the United States earns his living directly or indirectly fromthe automotive industry, you will understand that this falling off alone would cause a fair recession. And, with a few other industries in the same fix, you just change "rec" to "depr," and you'll get the idea of what's happened to us recentlyJepression.

Let us now speak ", 0""*r. Itn"" Aristotle was asked why everyone was so fond of beauty he replied: "That is the question of a blind man." Theophrastus called beauty "a silent fraud." Socrates the Wise called it a "short-lived tyranny." Juvenal bitterly satirizes women's faces as "bedaubed and lacquered o€r." Roman belles used chalk and paint in extravagant profusion, for Martial says: "Fabula was afraid of rain on account of the chalk on her face, and Lobella of the sun because of the cereuse with which her face was painted; and the famous Poppea, wife of Nero, made use of an unctious paint that hardened upon her face and entirely changed the original features."

And, speaking of "."rrir"J, ,rl,.rr"tty reminds us of the drug store. The modern drug store has had plenty of fun hung on it in recent years because of its rapid progress from the old timey apothecary shop. We all hear lots of drug store jokes, the best of which is the one about the druggist who cut his hand making a club sandwich, and had to drive fifty miles for iodine. Anyway, there are 58,000 retail drug stores in this country today, of which only four hundred are without drinking or eating facilities or departments. Onlyten per cent of their business is medicine and drugs. Thus does modern merchandising change the course of an industry.

This guy had a touch of delirium tremens. He woke up to see a strange thing sitting on the foot of his bed and staring at him. It was part bird and part beast, covered

with feathers and fi:r, many wild colors, had long horns, a long beak, big eyes that glared at the drunk- But the man in the bed gathered his nerve, and said to the beast or bird, or whatever it was:

"Don't get tough with me, see? Don't try to get tough! Cause if you do I'll eat a handful of aspirin capsules, and then where the Hell will you be?"

Applications for FHA Loans in Southern Record Crowd Expected for Reveille California-Arizona District Increase

It was announced on March 26 at the office of F. W. Marlow, district director of the Federal Housing Administration for Southern California and Arizona, that applications for Title 2 government-insured home building and home buying loans already has reached a point indicating that March will break all monthly records by a wide margin, fulfilling earlier predictions of a total exceeding 25@, with,an aggregate valuation approximating $11,000,000. Each of these figures represents an increase of almost 100 per cent over the highest previous month since the Federal Housing Administration's inception, more than three years ago.

More than 200 applications now are in process of valuation, it was stated.

To date more than 25,m home financing mortgages, with a total value of about $104,000,000, have been approved by the Los Angeles FHA office.

It is expected by General Chairman Gordon D. Pierce and General Secretary Carl R. Moore that all previous attendance records will be broken at the Sixth Annual Reveille of Central and Northern California lumbermen to be held at Hotel Leamington, Oakland, on Friday, April72.

Dinner will be served at 5:30 p.m., and this will be followed by a high-class entertainment program. Tickets are $2.00 each.

San Pedro Lumber Co. Has Attractive Store

The new building erected by the San Pedro Lumber Company at its Los Angeles yard for its building material store and sales offices is an attractive addition to its plant. The building is modernistic throughout, and lumber and building materials handled by the company were used in its construction, giving its trade an idea how the different products look when installed.

In the large, spacious store, the walls are finished in Knotty Pine. The doors, counter, bins, office desk and shelving are also made ofKnotty Pine, which harmonize beautifully with the store interior. Tempered hardwood is used for the counter and desk tops. Attractively displayed are the many different building materials which is a great convenience to its customers. A Redwood picket pack dis-

play has been installed in the yard just cutsicle the store. Plenty of parking space is available, adjoining the building. The sales offices adjoin the store. The offices of the sales nlanager and his secretary are finished in Weatherwood insulation plank on the walls, with walnut grain Sheetrock for rvainscotting. An Insulux glass block partition is betu'een the two offices.

Art-Ply plyrvood plank and tile is used on the rvalls of the salesmen's office, while the wholesale sales office is in clear Redwood, and the rvainscotting and doors in curlv Redwood. The rvalls of the office occupied by the Curtis woodwork and Insulux glass rnasonry departrnents are in Knotty Red Cedar.

More than two hundred members of the California Re_ tail Lumbermen's Association, representing all sections of Southern California, heard W. O. Harris, director of public relations for the FHA, discuss the amended National Hoo.i1S A* at a meeting held at the Clark Hotel, Los Angeles, Monday evening, March 21.

cfas. B. Overcast

One of the best kuorvn and liked executives in the hardwood lumber business in Northern California is the subject of this article, James Burton (Jim) Overcast, sales manager of the Strable Hardu'ood Company, Oakland.

Jim was born 32 years ago in Greenville, Alabama, andhere is one for Mr. Ripley-he is a veteran of.22 years' exPerience in the hardwood business, having made his start as a rvater boy at the age of 10 lvith the Richard P. Baer Hardwood Company, at Magazine Point, near Mobile, Alabama, where his father, James Harry Overcast, was superintendent of the large lumber yards' He worked there Saturdays and summer vacations ttntil he finished school.

He attended the public schools in Mobile and graduated trom Barton Academy in 1923, and supplemented this education by special training and courses in salesmanship, creclit management, forestry, psychology and philosophy'

In 1924 he became southern hardwood lumber inspector, and worked for three years with the Lucas E,. Moore Company of Mobile. He came to California on a visit in 1928 and liked it so r.vell that he decided to remain permanently. He started to work for the Strable Hardwood Company in 1928, and having a sales position as his ultimate objective, he learned all the details of the operation of a diversified hardrvood lumber busiuess from the ground up. As a result of his earnest application to the job he was made sales manager in 1932 and still holds this position. In giving these details to the representative of this paper Jim expressed his appreciation of his good fortune in having worked with Bert E. Bryan, general manager of the company, who has been a great inspiration to him during the 10 years he has been associated with this concern.

Mr. Overcast is single. He lives in Oakland rvith his mother and three sisters. His father recently returned to the Southland, where he is still engaged in the hardwood business.

He says his sincere desire isthat the lumber industry will awaken to the need of a greater knorvledge of its products, more intelligent sales methods, and, most important of all, an improvement irr the service clue toits customers.

He is a member of the Oaklancl Junior Charnber of Commerce, and is at present rvorking on the program of the national convention of Junior Chambers of Commerce to be held in Oakland in June.

He is president of the Executives' Association of Oakland, a director of East Bay Hoo Hoo Club No. 39, and a member of the Oakland Theatre Guild.

BIOGRAPHY

Biography, like big game hunting, is onc of the recognized forms o! sport, and it is as unfair as only sport can be. High on some far hill-side of politics or history the amateur marks down his distant quarry. F'ollows an intensely distasteful period of furtive approach to the subject which leads the deer-stalker up gullies and ravines and the biographer through private letters and washing-books. The burns grow deeper and wetter, the letters take a more private and a less punishable turn, until at last our sportsman, well within range, turns to his publisher, who carries the guns, and empties one, tq/o and (if the public will stand it) three barrels into his unprotesting victim; because it is a cruel truth that the subject of LIVES are rarely thernselves alive.

-Philip Guedalla.

FAIR ENOUGH

"Abie," says Cohen reproachfully, "you and I have been friends for many /€?rs, and yet you go to the bank when you need money. Abie, you just go again to the bank and say that they should sign the note, and then Cohen will lend you the money !"

PLAYTHINGS

By Robert Louis Stevenson

The streets are full of human toys, Wound up for threescore years; Their springs are hungers, hopes and joys, And jealousies and fears.

They move their eyes, their lips, their hands; They are marrvelously dressed; And here my body stirs or stands, A plaything like the rest.

The toys are played with till they fall, Worn out and thrown away. Why were they ever made at all ! Who sits to watch and play!

After the coffee things ain't so bad.

gan contributing to national magazines. Since 1934 he has been a free lance writer, and this is his first book. He served Fran- in a New England field artillery regiment during the World "Holy War, seeing action in the Meuse-Argonne. He makes his Lum- horne in Portland, Oregon.

The American Lumberjack at work and at play, from Maine to Oregon-here is his rough and lusty story.

Mr. Holbrook tells of Bangor, the first of the great lumbering towns, of the time when a single block of two million acres of virgin Maine timber was sold to one man for twelve and a half cents an acre, of the beginnings of sawdust, and the rivalry between Penobscot and Kennebec.

He tells of the first migration, when white pine became scarce in Maine, and loggers moved to Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin; of the whoopee-towns of the Lakes. Then came the big jump-the second migration-to the forests of the Pacific Northwest and Coast, and the era of bull-whacking and skid-roads. And finally, the coming of machine logging and highrvays, and the disintegration of the old logger strain.

In this book afe recaptured the life and color of a vanishecl American scene. The author has worked in the logging camps both on the Atlantic and Pacific coast and has bunked with many veterans of the woods, men who knet' logging and lumber towns in their great and red-eyed heyday.

When working in the Douglas fir camps of the Northwest, Mr. Holbrook wrote for the British Columbia Lumberman. In 1923 he went to work for another lumber journal, later being its editor for nine years. In the meantime he be-

The Tax Burden on Lumber

A lumber expert intended writing an article for lumber association purposes. His conclusions show what tax men and tax editors have to contend within this year 1938.

"After going carefully into your exhaustive service and after checking other available sources, I have come to the conclusion that I had better notwrite the article attempting to list and define the various taxes and estimate the aggregate tax burden on lumber in its march from the woods to the conSumer. It is entirely too big and too responsible a job and I doubt if the best tax expert in the country could do it accurately. It is possible to check all taxes paid by lumber manufacturers, but what is tacked on in the way of taxes after the lumber leaves their hands is a problem of terrifying magnitude. I won't be the one to make this estimate, and I am so informing the magazine who requested such an article. Maybe, some day, a magician will work it out, and if so I for one will take his word for it without further ado. Thank you again for your courtesy. Your various services are indispensable and have been of unusual value to gs."-Q91n6erce Clearing House, Inc.

Buifding Materiaf Prices Below z}-Year Aver age

Iiollowing a careful study by the California Retail Lumbermen's Association of lumber and building material prices over a period of the past twenty years in the Metropolitan tos Angeles area, President E. C. Parker has sent a letter to its members, together with charts and fig*res, which show prices are lower than the twenty year average. Mr. Parker says:

"In the past month liberalizing amendments to the National Housing Act were enacted, and we are justified in expecting an increased volume of house building for the next several months. There is, however, in the minds of many prospective home builders an erroneous impression that lumber and building materials are high and which may have the effect of curtailing building which would otherwise be done. This impression has been created by statements and comments on the part of public officials, newspaper editors, economic experts, and other such sources.

"In an endeavor to offset and refute such statements, your association has made a thorough and careful study of lumber and building material prices over the past period of twenty years. We have carefully compiled the.going'prices over these years in Metropolitan Los Angeles, an area with a radius of about 2O miles. By'going' prices we mean the best price an owner or builder could obtain in this competitive field. As with any commodity, difterent sections of the State would have somewhat difierent price levels at different times, but we are quite sure that our study .will show with a degree of accuracy the price trend through these years throughout the State.

"The years Ig23-25 and the year l926are quite commonly used as normal in U. S- Geverrlment price statistics, and you will note that prices today are 14% less than 1923-1925 and are 5/o less than1926. In our own opinion in this State the five year period from July l,1924 to July l, l9D was a normai period, and prices today are 3/s less than the average of that period.

"It is our hope that the charts and statistics presented

will correct the impression on the part of prospective builders and loaning agencies that lumber and building materials are high, and will show on the contrary that they are below normal."

The Associ"tio' obtained an accurate list of all lumber and building materials used in constructing a home now being completed in the Metropolitan Los Angeles area, and priced them as of the beginning of the two main building seasons, March 15 and September 15, of each year. The figures below show clearly that lumber and building materials prices are lower than a twenty year average.

The plan is to honor successively throughout 1939 the men and women, who through their sports prowess have brought fame to their homes in the West. The list will include 288 individuals, one for each day of the Fair.

Ceremonies honoring the champions will take place as far as possible in connection with 1939 western or national championships to be held on Exposition Island. Individuals so honored u'ill be presented with a special medal in addition to having their names inscribed on the permanent plaque. The plaque is to be kept on display at the Civic Center of San Francisco after the close of the Fair.

Among the stars of the past will be three heavyweight champions-Jim Jeffries, Jess Willard and Jack Dempseyrvith the recent champion, Max Baer. Of tennis stars, there are many, Maurice Mclaughlin, Little Bill Johnston, Don Budge, Ellsworth Vines, Helen Wills Moody, Helen Jacobs and May Sutton Bundy. From the track comes such as Blazing Ben Eastman, Archie Williams, the pole vault twins-sefton and Meadorvs; from the water, Washington's mighty crew; basketball champion HankLuisetti; baseballers Joe' DiMaggio, Joe Cronin and a score or more lvhose ,r"-". have reached the diamond's hall of fame.

From the lumber industry will be Paul Searles, of the Weyerhauser Timber Company, Longview, Wash., whose feats with a cross-cut saw and axe ring throughout the entire land of loggers.

NE\v PRICE LIST ISSUED ON FLUSH CUPBOARD DOORS

A new price list was recently issued by Western Door & Sash Company, Oakland, on flush cupboard doors. These are fu" five-ply, in both rotary and vertical grain Fir, and they are designed to give better fitting and better finished flush cupboard doors at lower cost.

Points about these doors that are stressed are that the resin-sealed faces take a smooth, perfect paint or enamel finish; there is no checking, and the solid edge strips, 23/s" wide, on each edge reduce the tendency to warp, insure neater finish, and provide a sound reinforcement for locks and hinges; there is a Fir veneer core, and the edges can be easily and smoothly lipped.

The price list has been mailed to all dealers, but any dealer that hasn't received one can get one by writing to Western Door & Sash Company, 5th & Cypress Streets, Oakland.

ACME LUMBER COMPANY RETIRES

Acme Lumber Company, San Francisco, is retiring from business. The stock is being sold and the yard will probably close in about 60 days. This yard was established 48 years ago.

Here's a New Display Rack for Dealers

The Smoot-Holman Company of Inglewood, California, offers a free metal wire display rack and metal sign to dealers in conjunction with any of their three deals on Smoot-Holman Porcelain Enameled Steel Sinks and Lavatories.

Their "SALESMAKER" Display Rack is small enough to take only four square feet of floof or sidenralk space, yet big enough to display one Sink and one Lavatory, as illustrated here. This display stands three feet, ten inches high. The metal sign shown at the top is in three colors. This Display Rack is sturdy, colorful, easily cleaned, light in weight . . . won't tip or wobble. Because it is impervious to sun or rain, it can be used in the entrance way or on the sidewalk. The manufacturer also states that this "SALESIVIAKER" Displav Rack

is collapsible, thus permitting it to be moved from place to place.

The three deals worked out by the Smoot-Holman Company on their steel plumbing are called GIANT 70, consisting of sixty-five Sinks and five Lavatories; JUMBO 70, consisting of sixty-five Sinks in assorted sizes and five Lavatories, and BABY 30, consisting of twenty-five Sinks and fiveLavatories. Profits on these deals are $109.50, $105.25 and $31.75 respectively.

Each of these deals is complete with an assortment of, Sinks and Lavatories to take care of any request or requirement.

Competition in United Kingdom Morkets Without Digcrimination Asked

By Lumberman

Washington, March l7.-Seven representatives of lum_ ber manufacturing interests today asked that American lumber be given an opportunity to compete in the markets of the United Kingdom and the British Colonies without preferential tarifis or other discriminations.

Appearing before the Committee for Reciprocity Infor_ mation, meeting prior to negotiations for a new trade agree_ ment between the United States and Great Britain, these spokesmen asked for an "opportunity to compete on an equal basis for a fair share of trade in the United King- dom." They were: Wilson Compton, National Lumbir Manufacturers Association; W. B. Greeley, L. E. Force and J. P. Herber, Seattle; E. W. Demarest, Tacoma; A. L. Raught, Longview and W. S. Culbertson, National Lumber Manufacturers Association attorney of export-im- port affairs.

Tracing the fall in domesetic lumber consumption over the past ten years and comparing it with the increased consumption of the same material in the United Kingdom, they showed exports of softwoods to Great Britain to have declined 60 per cent and one-third in our share of the hardwood market.

"Ten years ago the United States, with 3.1 billion feet, was in first rank among world lumber exporters,', said the lumbermen, "a position founded in thevast extent and diversity of her forests and forest products. Now, ten years later, our export trade is in a lowly fifth place, outranked in order by Sweden, Russia, Canada and Finland. Canada, with a national production of about 3l billion feet, is enabled to export nearly 2 billion feet. Our American industry, with abundant present and prospective timber supplies, with an even wider diversification of species of both softwoods and hardwoods, and witha national production of nearly 25 billion feet, is enabled to secure in the same competitive world markets only 1.4 billion feet.,'

Pointing out that the present trade agreement between the United States and Canada has made the total reduction in American lumber tariffs authorized by the Trade Agreements Act, and telling the Committee that ..nothing you can do will be more helpful than to secure restoration to this industry of opportunity for normal trading in British markets," the representatives concluded saying while the lumber industry may not thrive even with restoration of its normal export trade. it "is certain that it rvill not thrive rvithotrt it."
