Problems of The West Coast Lumber Industry

(Continued from Page 39) practical problems of conserving and wisely utilizing the timber resources of the country. Through the medium of these fact-finding and educational agencies, of high public standing, it may be that public opinion will be prepared for a liberalization of the anti-trust laws in order to deal rationally with present-day economic conditions. Hence, I regard it as timely for the business interests of the country, as represented in the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, to develop a workable plan whereby the natural resource industries can meet the public on a common ground of mutual interest and benefit.

American business widely supports the position of the National Chamber of Commerce against the extension of government control over industry, or government regulation of industry, or the further assumption of business functions by the government. But there is a clear distinction between the control of business activities bv the government and the principle I have suggested of giving industry greater liberty of- action to govern itself. The public will not grant us this liberty without assurance that its own interests witl be-pro- tected. We must find some practical means of giving the public that assurance. And in my judgment this can best be done by submitting the measures which we believe necessary to some disinterested public agency, demonstrating their benefit io the country, and thereby obtaining public sanction to put them into effect.

The lumbermen of the Northwest have been trained in a school of intense individualism. It is a natural result of the pioneer conditions under which their industry has developed. But they are rapidly learn-ing the necessity_of cooperation. They are reaiiring that many of the complex problems which surround their industrv today can be_dealt with far more effectively by united action. They are more and more prepared, with the aid of cooperative action, t-o work out the problems of utilizing the vast forests of the West with the efficiency in manufacture and merchandisine demanded of thenr by modern conditions.

Their _industry is lot a decadent one. It will go right on fabricating the innumerable things required by civiliZatioi out of the timber resources of this region. It will parpetuate those resources th.rough reforestation. It wilt remain a great employer of labor. It *'ill .shoulder the responsibilities of consirving its riw material and makilS it of the maximum benefit to the people and commerce of the United States. But to do these thingi eifectively, and partic- ularly to _restrain th-e destructive competition which benefit. n'o otr., they need gteater freedom of self-government.
