Aslc Controls on Lumber Exports Be Discontinued
Washington, D.C., August 1.-A strong plea for termination of export controls on lumber was voiced by George M. F,uller, vice president, National Lumber Manufacturers Association, at a recent "round table" discussion of the subject called by the Department of Commerce Export Control director, Dr. Francis Mclntyre.
Stating that our adequate production of lumber has removed all necessity for a continuation of the war-born controls, Mr. Fuller pointed out that such controls can not be administered without discrimination and that the National Lumber Manufacturers Association is opposed to any government regulation of business where an emergency or extraordinary situation does not exist.
Industry replesentatives at the informal discussion heard Secretary of Commerce W. Averill Harriman give a summary of general problems to be ironed out in the field of export controls. In response to direct questioning, Secretary Harriman stated that the international situation did not enter into the determination of whether continued ,controls rvere advisable-that ili was almost wholly a domestic economic issue.
H.V. Simpson, executive vice president, West Coast Lumbermen's Association, and Lee Robinson, Mobile River Sawmill Company, Mt. Vernon, Alabama, as well as other lumber manufacturing representatives, pointed out the fallacy of continuing controls under the guise of domestic shortages for home construction when the great bulk of proposed exports consists of types and grades not normally consumed on the,domestic market. Any fears of a departure from this pattern are unfounded, they maintained, because of serious dollar ;hortages abroad. They pointed out that this lack of purchasing power would be an adequate curb on the amount of our exports and additional regulation by the government is not necessary.

Representatives of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association and the National Association of Home Builders present at the discussion took an opposing viewpoint and asked that the status quo be r.naintained in so far as lumber controls are concerned. They held to this position 'despite assurance from the lumber manufacturing industry that production has now reached such proportions that supply would keep up with the domestic construition program and still be able to partially satisfy the foreign market.
Although this meeting was purely advisory in character, it seems likely that controls may be lifted on hardwood exports in the near future, but that there,will be little change in the softwood picture.
