It is reported that a number of mills of fair size are trying to get the necessary supplies to start their mills, but so far have not succeeded. All the mills that are operating are being operated by the Army, and all the lumber that is being made is being used by the Army for rehabilitation. Great quantities of lumber is needed for rebuilding the Philippine cities and industries, and if all the mills could get to runnng today it is very unlikely that a foot could be made throughout this year that would not be needed and taken locally. So it seems that no matter how fast they may be able to get the mills of the Philippines back into shape, there will be no Philippine lumber for the rest of the world this year. As a matter of fact, no shipping from the Philippines is allowed up to this time, except Army and Navy shipping. It is strictly a military stuation so far, and will remain so for an indefinite period.

Slorn'ly but surely order is coming out of chaos, and the foundations for the resumption of business over there are being laid.

There are still hundreds of billions of feet of fine hardwood timber standing in the Philippines, and the day will come again when the magnificent rn'oods from these Islands will again be placed on our markets.
