NLMA Annual Meetins

A clear-cut demand that the lumber industry be freed from artificial restrictions imposed by government controls was laid down by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association at its annual meeting at New Orleans early in November.

C. Arthur Bruce, Memphis, Tennessee, president, and Richard A. Colgan, Jr., Washington, D. C., executive vice president, were reelected by the board of directors to serve another year.

Of wide interest in the lumber industry was the discussion of the board of directors to hold a Lumber Congress in the spring of. 1947. All members of the regional associations of NLMA and representatives of other branches of the industry will be invited to participate. This will be the first such general gathering of the industry since the I92O's.

Keynote of the policy statement adopted at the meeting of the board of directors was a demand Tor "immediate termination of all war-time controls of the civilian economy." Stating that these controls were enacted by the government to meet the exigencies of the war, the directors pointed out that the controls carried a "concomitant implication that they would be abandoned when hostilities ended." "The war has been over sufficiently long. and the period of reconversion far enough advanced, to lvarrant immediate termination of these controls and a replacing of government regulation with competition and genuine collective bargaining," the declaration said.

The policy, as adopted, opposes government competition, discrimination, and subsidization in any form as detrimental to the economy.

The statement was prefaced with a plea for the return of -A.merican business to the competitive, free enterprise system l'hich "has brought to the American people the highest standard of living in the world Through it, we have achieved greater freedoms, privileges, and opportunities than those known to other nations."

"We abhor the recent tendency of many of those in Government to endeavor to impose Government on the people and to direct their actions. Government regimentation has become well entrenched in many economic fields."

"This trend should now be reversed and personal and economic freedoms and competitive markets re-established."

Applying this basic philosophy to forest policy, the Association stated: "Permanent lumber and other forestusing industries are essential to the national welfare. We recognize the vital relation of forest conservation to the permanency of such industries and their employment. We believe that in forest ownership, operation and renewal, the fullest possible reliance upon private enterprise and initiative should be continued."

"The cooperative and educational approach to forest problems should be more fully developed, but the Federal Government should help, not direct."

Officers for the coming year are C. Arthur Bruce, Memphis, president; A. J. Glassow, Bend, Oregon, first vice president; John B. Veach, Washington, D. C., vice president and treasurer. The following regional vice presidents were elected: August J. Strange, LaGrande, Oregon; C. H. Kreienbaum, Shelton, 'Washington; 'Q. T. Hardtner, IJrania, Louisiana; and H. C. Parrish, Norfolk, Virginia.

R. A. Colgan, Jr., and Henry Bahr were reelected executive vice president and secretary, respectively.
